Delivery and payment
Shipping, delivery and payment
1. Why do I pay for shipping?
- In the spirit of transparency, we’ve separated our product prices and shipping costs to offer you the best possible savings. Including shipping fees in the selling price would inflate the overall cost, and we believe in honesty and clear communication with our customers.
2. How much do I pay for shipping?
- Courier is free on orders of R1 500 or more, door to door with The Courier Guy to street addresses in major cities, towns and suburbs, and to any Courier Guy depot. Below R1 500 the checkout shows the live courier rate before you pay.
- Free courier never applies to filter media, vessels and tanks, whatever the order value: they are heavy and bulky and ship at the quoted rate, or collect free in Randburg.
- Free courier never applies to farms, plots, hospitals, power stations, major chain stores or remote and outlying areas: these are a special trip at the fee below.
- Special fees apply for specific locations:
- Farms, Plots, Hospitals, and Power Stations: R488.75 per delivery.
- Major Chain Stores: R789.50 per delivery.
3. What are my shipping options?
- Standard Courier (Door-to-Door): Not available for PO Boxes. Ensure a valid street address is provided, or choose to deliver to your nearest The Courier Guy depot for collection.
- Special trips for Farms, Plots, Hospitals, and Power Stations.
- Special trips for Major Chain Stores.
4. Where do I get tracking information?
- Once dispatched and collected by The Courier Guy, you will receive an email with all your tracking information.
- All orders are fully traceable on The Courier Guys website at https://portal.thecourierguy.co.za/track
