Common questions about ordering and delivery

Straight answers on how our service works, what to expect with stock, and how we handle the details that matter for your weekly shop.

How do you check stock before I place an order?

We check every item in your basket against our live store inventory before you confirm. If something is out of stock, you will see it right away and can swap it for a similar product. This keeps substitutions rare and gives you a clear view of what is actually available for same-day dispatch.

What are the delivery windows and how do they work?

You pick a time slot that fits your day, usually a two-hour window in the morning, afternoon, or evening. We confirm the slot when you place the order, and our drivers follow a route that respects that window. If you need to change it, just reach out before the picking starts and we will adjust.

Do you deliver to my area in South Africa?

We cover a growing list of residential areas, and you can check your address during checkout. If we do not reach your street yet, we will let you know and keep you posted as we expand. Our focus is on keeping delivery reliable and fresh for the neighborhoods we serve.

How are fresh items like produce and dairy handled?

Fresh produce is picked the same day and kept in temperature-controlled bags until it reaches your door. Dairy and frozen goods stay chilled throughout the trip. We also check quality at the shelf, so you get items that are ripe and within their best-before range.

Can I save my usual list for quick reordering?

Yes. Once you have placed an order, you can save that list and reuse it next time. It is handy for weekly staples like bread, milk, and cleaning supplies. You can edit quantities before adding to your basket, so it stays flexible.

What if an item is missing or not what I expected?

We double-check every order before it leaves the store, but mistakes can happen. If something is wrong, contact us within 24 hours and we will sort it out, whether that means a refund or a replacement on your next delivery. Our goal is to make it right without fuss.
