Delivery – Standard Stock Items:
We offer free delivery when your order exceeds a certain value. Contact us or see our Delivery Breakdown Map to find out if you qualify for free delivery. Please note our Delivery Breakdown Map is intended as an indication of our delivery zones, please contact us for a precise delivery cost to your area. Delivery fees for orders below the minimum order value depend on the weight and size of your purchase, and where it needs to be delivered to.

Our delivery lead times are mainly determined by two factors, availability of stock and the delivery address, so delivery times could vary from order to order. Below is an estimated breakdown of delivery lead times based on the zone selected for delivery.

Zone                                                                                 Estimated Delivery Time
                                                                                            (For standard stock in warehouse near you.)

Local                                                                                 1 – 3 working days 
(Cape Town, JHB, PTA)

Outer CBD & Outlying                                             1 – 3 working days
(Regions immediately surrounding Local areas as well as large cities like Bloem, PE, and DBN)

Remote                                                                            2 – 5 working days
(Regions that lie further away from our offices and are less frequently travelled to by our courier suppliers.)

Inter Warehouse Transfer                                     14 – 28 working days
                                                                                           (For standard stock in the warehouse furthest from you)
We try our best to ensure stock is available in both warehouses, but unfortunately circumstances arise that make this impossible at times.
Should your order contain one or more item that needs to be transferred to the warehouse nearest your delivery address, please allow for an additional 14 – 28 working days for your order to be delivered. If ordering other stock available in your nearest warehouse, you can reduce this delivery time by removing the item(s) that require inter warehouse transfer from your cart / order.

Out of Stock and Large Orders
Occasionally we run out of stock of an item. Please contact us to find out when it will be available again or if we have another suitable option for you.

Delivery of Custom Orders
Delivery of Custom Orders will be arranged on a case by case basis. Each order has its own lead time which will be on your quote or proforma invoice.

Please note: it is important to supply correct delivery and contact details. We are only able to make one delivery attempt. If this fails due to incorrect details then it will be the customers’ expense to collect goods or pay for their own collection.
