Can I pick up an item from your offices?

By prior arrangement, certain items could be picked up from our office in Randburg. Note, however:
1. Not all items that we sell are held in our Randburg offices. The other locations do not allow pick-up.
2. A 2% administration fee may be applicable.
3. Only EFT in advance (EFT on site not allowed due to fraud) or exact cash will be accepted as we do not have card facilities (we are not a brick-and-mortar shop) or change on site.
4. Only by arrangement/appointment.

Do you deliver to…..?

If you are in South Africa, the answer is “yes”. We utilize the services of the Courier Guy with their well-renowned and far-reaching network in South Africa.

How much is delivery?

We use flat rate algorithms with different classes allocated to different products. The area that delivery is being made to will also be affected by this. To get your exact delivery cost, add the desired item to your cart, add in your address and a delivery cost will be shown in the cart before checkout.

Can payment be made on delivery?

Regrettably not as we use third-party courier services in the form of the Courier Guy who cannot accept money on our behalf. Payment can be conveniently made on our online shop through Payfast.

How long does it take to deliver?

This depends on where the parcel is going, what has been ordered, and at what time of the day the order was received. Generally, delivery is made within 1-2 business days. Some outlying regions may experience an extra day or 2 delay, whereas delivery sometimes takes place within the same day in Gauteng if the item ordered is Gauteng-based and the order was received before 9:00.

Note, however, that these delivery times are based on customers buying online directly through our online shop. For customers not buying through the online shop (quote was sent to the customer with banking details) the delivery time will likely be longer as we have to await verification of payment before releasing any items.

Are you open on weekends?

Orders can be placed on our online shop at any time of the day or night, on weekends and public holidays. However, orders will only be processed during normal business hours.

There is a discrepancy in delivery costs on Google and on your site.

Yes, it has been an uphill battle to get Google Merchant Centre properly synced with our site, therefore the delivery costs on Google are not always updated and sometimes do not appear at all.

How do I get to the correct size of diapers/gloves that I need, on your shop?

When you are on the diaper or gloves page, click on the “Select options” tab. Once the page reopens select the size from the drop-down menu where it says “Choose an option”.
Remember to ensure that you are on the correct quantity option, either the “box of 80” or “pack of 10” diapers (“box of 100” or “box of 1000” for gloves) as per your preference.
