Shipping Information

Domestic

FLAT RATE: This allows us to choose the best rate we can find using a range of third party carriers as well as freight consolidators. We offer flat rate shipping at a rate of R100.00 country wide. Larger items such as cylinders, compressors and spearguns incur a small additional charge based on weight.

Local deliveries within Gauteng, if the order is placed that day before 09:00 we typically ship same day or overnight. Hence you can expect delivery times between 10-24 Hours after the order is placed.

Major Centres can expect delivery in 1-2 working days.

What is a Main Centre?

A main centre is any Town or City in South Africa that is serviced via a daily ight schedule. In order for this to be possible the area must be within the delivery range of a recognised Airport. These Airport hubs are as follows: Johannesburg, Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth, George, Cape Town and Bloemfontein. Regional areas can expect deliveries from 3 to 4 days.

A regional area is any Town or City in South Africa that is not catered for via a daily flight schedule. In order for this to be possible the area must be within the delivery range of a recognised Airport. All regional areas will experience a delay in the delivery time, as most of these areas are not serviced daily.

Outlaying areas can expect deliveries from 7 to 10 days.

Outlaying areas such as Sodwana bay are typically only serviced by couriers once a week.
