Outlying/Rural Areas Surcharge (As defined by the courier)

A surcharge applies to outlying/rural areas (As defined by the courier). This surcharge can only be established/provided if the consumer enquiries prior to placing an order or if not enquired, only after the order has been placed.

Should a surcharge apply to your area of delivery, this will be communicated to you ASAP. The surcharge will be payable via EFT, prior to the order being dispatched, failing which, we reserve the right to cancel the order and reverse the payment made via PAYFAST.

It must be noted that we do not apply a mark-up to any courier costs, aiming to simply cover the actual cost of shipping. These costs cannot be absorbed into the margins of items as this will not allow us to remain competitive with our pricing.
