DELIVERY POLICY:

We deliver to residential or business addresses only.
As a rule of thumb, products listed on the OtiumOnline website are not held at our offices (unless expressly stated). In order to minimize costs and ageing stock, OtiumOnline prefers to order items from various suppliers once an order has been placed and paid for.

Orders will be placed with our suppliers once proof of payment has been received.

Your order should be dispatched between one (1) and three (3) business days after payment confirmation has been received and when full payment reflects in our bank account.

DELIVERY OPTIONS:

Door-to-Door

Please note: The Door-to-door option does not deliver to PO Boxes. Should you require a Door-to-Door delivery please provide a Street Address during checkout.

We charge a flat rate for all door-to-door deliveries under R1500. The rate is listed during checkout. This rate will cover you for any order of two (2) or less boxes. Should your order require more than two (2) boxes, we might quote you on an additional delivery charge.

Delivery times depend on the weight and the destination of your order. Typically any order under 2KG will be delivered within one (1) working day after your order has been dispatched. If your order is over 2KG then it should reach you in two (2) to three (3) working days. These delivery times are under the assumption that your order is going to a major city. Should your order be going to a regional city then delays might happen. You are welcome to check if your city is a major / regional here.

We currently do not ship to remote locations such as farms and mines.
