How delivery works
- Place your order online. The delivery cost for your address is shown at checkout.
- We confirm stock, delivery date and the final delivery cost by email before you pay by EFT.
- Remote sites, difficult access or cranes may need a revised quote. We always agree it with you first.
- Prefer to arrange your own transport? Choose free collection in Cape Town at checkout.
Preparing your site
- A firm, level base (compacted ground, concrete or sleepers) so doors open and close properly.
- Clear access for a truck, with no low wires or overhanging branches.
- Enough room beside the drop-off point for the truck to manoeuvre and offload.
