We do our best to ensure every order reaches you as quickly as possible, even during peak periods. However, during high-volume events such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas in July, and other major sales, delivery times may be affected due to abnormally high order volumes across South Africa.
While we plan and prepare well in advance, these periods can still bring unexpected courier delays once parcels leave our warehouse. We work closely with The Courier Guy to minimize disruptions and will always keep you updated if any delays occur.
Your patience and understanding during these busy times mean the world to us — we promise to get your order to you as fast as possible!
