Delivery Policy

SANTOS delivers within South Africa, either door-to-door or door-to-counter, depending on where you’re located. If you reside outside of a main centre but would like door to door delivery – you can select that delivery option for a R200 delivery fee.
During the checkout process, SANTOS will determine your delivery options based on your delivery address and postal code. For South African orders, irrespective of whether you select door to door delivery, or door to counter delivery, SANTOS will deliver within 2 – 6 working days depending on where you live. For deliveries to Namibia, SANTOS aims to have your package to you within 10 working days.
Should you have any queries regarding your delivery options, please call our customer support agents on 084 206 6919 or email support@santos.co.za
