This includes:

  • Full recipient name.

  • Correct street or business address.

  • Suburb and city.

Where a delivery cannot be completed because the customer supplied incorrect information, we will work with the customer and courier to determine the available options. Any additional delivery charges must be disclosed and agreed to before they are incurred.

9. Failed Delivery and Missed Deliveries

If a delivery attempt is unsuccessful because the recipient is unavailable, the address cannot be accessed or the courier cannot complete delivery, the courier may follow its applicable redelivery or collection procedures.

Customers should ensure that:

  • Someone is available at the delivery address.

  • The supplied telephone number is active.

  • The courier can reasonably access the delivery location.

  • Any necessary delivery instructions are provided in advance.

If a parcel is returned to DC Kitchen Store following an unsuccessful delivery, we will contact the customer to arrange an appropriate resolution.

Any proposed additional delivery charges will be communicated to the customer before further arrangements are made.

Nothing in this section limits any rights a customer may have under applicable consumer protection legislation.

10. Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Deliveries

If a customer receives a product that is visibly damaged, defective, incomplete or different from the product ordered, the customer should contact us as soon as reasonably possible.

Please provide:

We will investigate the matter and provide an appropriate resolution in accordance with our Returns & Refunds Policy and applicable South African consumer protection legislation.

Customers are encouraged to report visible transit damage promptly so that we can investigate the matter with the courier.

However, any reporting period or documentation request will not remove or restrict statutory consumer rights.

11. Electronics and Electrical Appliances

DC Kitchen Store may supply electronic products, kitchen appliances and other electrical equipment.

We take reasonable care to ensure that products are packaged appropriately before dispatch.

Customers are encouraged to inspect delivered products upon receipt and check for visible signs of damage or missing components.

For electronic and electrical products:

  • Handle products carefully when unpacking.

  • Retain the original packaging and accessories where reasonably possible.

  • Follow the manufacturer's installation and operating instructions.

  • Do not attempt unauthorised repairs or modifications.

  • Contact customer support if a product appears damaged or defective.

The above recommendations do not limit any applicable rights relating to defective goods, warranties, product quality or refunds under South African law.

12. Delayed or Lost Shipments

Although we work to meet our estimated delivery schedules, delays may occasionally occur due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

These may include:

  • Courier operational delays.

  • Severe weather conditions.

  • Public holidays.

  • Road closures or transport disruptions.

  • Incorrect or incomplete delivery details.

  • Unforeseen logistical challenges.

  • Other circumstances affecting transportation.

If a shipment appears delayed or cannot be located, customers should contact DC Kitchen Store so that we can investigate its status with the relevant courier.

Where a parcel is confirmed lost in transit, we will work towards an appropriate resolution in accordance with applicable law.

The customer will not be required to pursue the courier independently as a substitute for DC Kitchen Store addressing its obligations as the seller.

Where an order cannot be fulfilled, any applicable cancellation and refund rights will be respected.

13. Order Cancellation and Delivery Changes

Customers who wish to cancel an order or request a change to their delivery address should contact us as soon as possible.

Cancellation or address changes may be possible before an order has been dispatched, subject to the circumstances and applicable law.

Once an order has been handed to the courier, cancellation or redirection may be subject to courier limitations.

Nothing in this section excludes any statutory cancellation, cooling-off or refund rights available to consumers under South African legislation.

14. Unavailable or Out-of-Stock Products

In exceptional circumstances, a product may become unavailable after an order has been placed.

If DC Kitchen Store is unable to fulfil an order due to product unavailability, we will notify the customer as soon as reasonably possible.

We will communicate the available options, which may include an appropriate alternative by mutual agreement or cancellation and refund.

We will not substitute a different product without the customer's agreement.

Any refund due will be processed in accordance with applicable law and our Returns & Refunds Policy.

15. Delivery Acceptance and Responsibility

DC Kitchen Store remains responsible for fulfilling its obligations as the seller, including arranging delivery in accordance with the agreed transaction and applicable law.

The use of an independent courier or third-party logistics provider does not remove the consumer's legal rights against DC Kitchen Store.

Customers are encouraged to confirm receipt of their orders and notify us promptly of any delivery concerns.

Nothing in this policy is intended to unlawfully transfer the seller's responsibilities or statutory obligations to the customer or courier.

16. South African Consumer Protection and Legal Compliance

Applicable requirements relating to electronic transactions, online purchases, supplier disclosures, order fulfilment and consumer cancellation rights.

Applicable Regulations and Other Consumer Protection Laws

Any applicable regulations, legal requirements and consumer protection standards governing online retail transactions in South Africa.

Nothing contained in this policy shall be interpreted as excluding, restricting or waiving a consumer's rights where such exclusion or restriction is prohibited by law.

Where any provision of this policy conflicts with applicable legislation, the applicable legal requirement shall prevail.

17. International Shipping

DC Kitchen Store's standard free shipping service is intended for eligible deliveries within South Africa.

International shipping is not included in our standard delivery service.

Customers requiring delivery outside South Africa should contact us before placing an order to establish whether an international delivery arrangement is available.

18. Policy Amendments

DC Kitchen Store reserves the right to amend or update this Shipping & Delivery Policy when reasonably necessary to reflect changes in business operations, courier arrangements or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on our website.
