At Factory Event and Catering, we are committed to providing fast, reliable, and transparent delivery for all orders within South Africa. This policy reflects our shipping logic and ensures your checkout totals match exactly.
1. Shipping Methods & Costs
| Shipping Method | Applies To | Cost | Delivery Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Delivery | Standard items only (non-heavy products) | Free | 2–5 business days | Applies when the subtotal of standard items is less than R15,000. |
| Heavy Delivery | Heavy items OR Standard items subtotal ≥ R15,000 | R1,500 | 2–8 business days | Applies to bulky, heavy items and large standard orders. |
How it works:
- Standard items (<R15,000) → Standard Delivery appears free at checkout.
