Yes. As we are a retail company, we do not accept any single item of more than 25 kilograms. A maximum volumetric weight of 40 kilograms will also apply.
This depends on what service type is chosen – An Express (overnight) or Economy (2-3 day) service is available.
We use DHL exclusively for international shipments and a range of local courier companies for our domestic services.
Volumetric weight is calculated by a formula to determine the amount of space vs the actual weight of the item. An example like a pillow would have a much higher volumetric weight than its actual mass. The higher of the two is used to calculate the shipping cost.
Insurance is charged at a rate of 5% of the declared value, to a maximum of R5000 per shipment. It covers loss or damage provided that we package the item. We do not recommend sending very fragile goods.
We do allow customers to receive ad hoc courier parcels at any of our branches, provided that it does not exceed 10 kilograms in mass and is not of high monetary value.
Should you wish to receive regular parcel deliveries, please contact your local Branch Manager as a small handling fee will apply.
No, we do not offer a COD service, but the receiver can pay us directly via EFT.
Main centres are all of the main metros and large cities in SA plus locations in their near proximity.
Regional areas are defined as smaller towns. An example would be Ladysmith KZN or Paarl in the Western Cape.
Outlying areas are more remote locations in rural areas.
We are a retail outlet and therefore do not have dedicated vehicles on the road to collect your parcel. However we do make exceptions, depending on the circumstances.
