Parcels are delivered to the physical address provided at checkout.
Estimated delivery times range from same-day to five business days, depending on the selected service and delivery location.
Remote and outlying areas may require additional delivery time.
Please ensure that someone is available to receive the parcel where required.
6.2 PUDO Locker-to-Locker
PUDO provides a convenient alternative for customers who prefer to collect parcels from a designated locker.
Select your preferred PUDO locker during checkout.
Once your parcel arrives, you will receive an SMS with collection instructions and a secure PIN.
Lockers are generally accessible 24 hours a day, subject to the specific locker location and any applicable access restrictions.
Parcels must be collected within the period specified by PUDO.
Uncollected parcels may be returned to us, and additional charges may apply.
Please ensure that your mobile number is correct so that you can receive collection notifications and your locker PIN.

Once your order has been dispatched:
You will receive tracking information by email.
You can track your parcel using the relevant courier’s tracking service.
PUDO customers may also receive SMS notifications containing collection details and their locker PIN.
Tracking information may take some time to become available after dispatch.
8. Delivery Delays
Although we work with our courier partners to deliver orders promptly, delays may occur due to:
Adverse weather conditions.
High parcel volumes.
Public holidays.
Incorrect or incomplete delivery information.
Courier operational issues or other circumstances beyond our control.
Customers are responsible for providing accurate and up-to-date delivery and contact details at checkout. Incorrect information may result in delays, failed deliveries or additional charges.

A delivery may fail if:
The delivery address is incorrect or incomplete.
No one is available to receive the parcel when required.
A PUDO parcel is not collected within the specified period.
If a parcel is returned to us, additional delivery charges may apply if you request redelivery.
Where a refund is applicable, the original shipping and return costs may be deducted where permitted by law and in accordance with our Refunds & Returns Policy.
Your statutory rights under South African consumer protection law remain unaffected.
10. Damaged, Missing or Incorrect Orders
Please inspect your parcel as soon as possible after delivery.

Your order number.
A description of the problem.

Ownership of the goods transfers to you once full payment has been received and cleared, subject to applicable law.
