FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED SHIPPING QUESTIONS:

If I place my order today, when should I expect my delivery?

The speed of the delivery depends on when the order is shipped and the destination to where it is shipped. BOLOC processes most orders within 24-48 business hours of confirmation of order. Depending on where the order is shipped, whether it is a major centre or an outlying area, the Courier company can take 2-4 working days to deliver the order after it has been collected from BOLOC.

How much does shipping cost / what is the cost to ship my order?

Shipping costs are based on a variety of factors including product weight and the destination of the package. 

Shipping is Free for orders in the Durbanville Area

Shipping to main center Cape Town is R90

Shipping to main centre South Africa (Joburg, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, George, Durban, East London, Nelspruit, Bloemfontein, Witbank, West Rand, Welkom, Polokwane, Swellendam, Mooreesburg, Klerksdorp, Kimberley and Harrismith) is R135

Shipping to outlying/regional areas is R195 

Why is shipping more expensive than the items I am purchasing?

Shipping costs from all Courier companies rely heavily on three factors: 

  • the weight of the box (the heavier the package, the more expensive the cost),
  • the destination of the package (the further away from the major centre to ship, the more expensive the cost), and
  • the speed of the service (the faster to deliver the package, the more expensive it may be).

Can you ship to a PO BOX address?

At the moment, the Courier company requires a physical address to make a delivery. No deliveries will be made to a PO Box address.

Can BOLOC ship to locations outside South Africa?

International orders are not currently set up on the site for a number of reasons, mainly the logistics involved in shipping outside SA, but if you are outside the borders of South Africa, send us an email to info@boloc.co.za and we will gladly try to help you out. 

Why does the shipped package weigh more than the items I purchased?

To ensure that your order arrives in great condition, we take the utmost care to package the products securely with air pillows, packing peanuts, and/or packing paper. Therefore, any packaging material and inserts added into the box may make  the package heavier.
