        Cut-Off Time

        • Our daily cut-off time is 13:00. Any orders placed and paid before 13:00 will be dispatched the same day. Any orders placed and paid after 13:00 will dispatch the next day. 
        • In Cape Town, small packages ordered and paid after 14:00 will be sent with a same-day courier the next morning and will thus be delivered the next day. Please note that same-day deliveries are made late in the afternoon (3-5pm). 

        Same-Day Courier in Greater Cape Town Area

        • We offer a same-day courier service for any orders to be delivered in the greater Cape Town area. The cut-off for this service is 09:00. Any orders placed and paid by 09:00 will be delivered on the same day between 15:00 - 17:00. Please note that same-day couriers deliver late in the afternoon, sometimes after 17:00. 

        Outlying/Remote Areas

        • We believe that in 2023 most people know whether they live in an outlying area or not. These are typically small towns that are more than an hour from any city or large town. "Overnight" delivery to outlying areas takes up to 48 hours as there are essentially two deliveries involved. The parcel is sent to the nearest distribution centre during the first 24h and from there transferred to a 3rd party that services the outlying area the following day. 

          Order Tracking

          • Our system will automatically send you a tracking link once it is available. Please be patient as tracking links will show no data until the parcel has been collected from us. 

          Special Delivery Requests

          • Please note that courier companies cannot guarantee delivery times due to traffic and other factors beyond their control. 

          Should You Insure Your Package?

          • No, we take full responsibility for your order until you have signed for it. If it gets lost or stolen, we will replace it at our cost. If it was damaged in transit, we will replace it at our cost. 

            Other Information

            • In the case of multiple products in one order, everything will ship as normal if we have stock of everything. If all the purchased items are not in stock, we will contact you to arrange multiple deliveries or if you would like to wait until everything is in stock.
            • If the courier service is unable to deliver the product for a reason beyond their control like no one being at the delivery address, the package will go back to their facility and a second delivery attempt will be made the next day. If the second delivery is unsuccessful, the package will go back to its origin facility. The order will be cancelled and payment refunded less the shipping and a 5% (minimum R250) handling fee.
