Shipment Delays

We are currently experiencing delays with some of our imported shipments, resulting in longer-than-usual lead times on certain products.

These delays are due to a combination of extended supplier production times, disruptions to international shipping schedules, and ongoing congestion at Durban Port.

At present, we are allowing approximately three weeks from a vessel’s arrival in Durban to receipt of the container at our warehouse. This is an estimated timeframe and may vary depending on port and shipping conditions.

We are closely monitoring our shipments and updating expected arrival dates as more information becomes available.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience these delays may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.
