Shipping Policy
Delivery areas
We offer nationwide delivery to physical addresses within South Africa.
Delivery to certain remote, rural, farm, mine, estate or restricted-access locations may require additional time or courier arrangements. Where our courier is unable to provide door-to-door delivery, we may contact you to arrange the nearest available collection or delivery point.
We currently do not guarantee delivery to P.O. boxes. Please supply a physical street address at checkout.
Estimated delivery time
Our standard delivery timeframe is 3–7 business days from confirmation and processing of your order. Business days exclude Saturdays, Sundays and South African public holidays.
Delivery estimates may vary depending on:
- your delivery location
- product availability
- courier capacity
- public holidays or peak shopping periods
- severe weather, road closures or other transport disruptions
- remote-area delivery requirements
- circumstances beyond our reasonable control
An estimate is not a fixed date
A delivery estimate is not a guarantee of an exact delivery date unless we expressly agree otherwise with you.
Order processing
Orders are ordinarily processed after successful payment confirmation.
Orders placed after our daily processing cut-off, over weekends or on public holidays may only begin processing on the next business day.
If an ordered item unexpectedly becomes unavailable or significantly delayed, we will contact you using the details supplied with your order and provide the available options.
Delivery charges
Applicable delivery charges are displayed at checkout before payment is completed.
Any free-delivery promotion is subject to the terms stated with that promotion, including any minimum purchase amount or geographical limitation.
Tracking your order
Where tracking is available, tracking information is sent to the email address or mobile number supplied when placing the order. You can also follow an order's status in My Account.
Please allow reasonable time after dispatch for courier tracking systems to update.
Accurate delivery information
Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate delivery details:
- recipient name

Tados Smart Technology will not be responsible for delays caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the customer.

If your order arrives with an incorrect item, a missing component or a quantity discrepancy, please contact us promptly with:
- your order number
- photographs of the parcel and its contents where applicable
- a description of the issue
We will investigate and arrange an appropriate remedy.
Failed delivery
Our courier may make more than one delivery attempt, depending on the courier's procedures.
If a parcel is returned to us because delivery could not be completed for reasons attributable to the customer, we may require payment of a new delivery fee before resending it, except where prohibited by law.
Delayed or lost parcels
If tracking indicates an unusual delay, or you believe your parcel has been lost, please contact us and we will raise an investigation with the courier.
Where the courier confirms that a parcel has been lost before lawful delivery to you, Tados Smart Technology will arrange an appropriate replacement or refund in accordance with applicable law.
