SECTION 22 – Delivery Policy

South African Delivery options 

Delivery is done via 3rd party courier to your door/ closest depot. We will not be held responsible for any courier delays, as this service is out of our control, however we will liaise with the courier company (should there be delays or damages on your shipment) to resolve any issues.

Delivery costs are additional to the displayed price and vary depending on the delivery service you select, the Area of delivery, the Quantity, Dimensions & Weight of goods ordered. 

Delivery charges will be confirmed to you before your order is accepted. 

If your order is particularly heavy, it may be subject to extra delivery charges, or a more feasible delivery option will be used. If any order is subject to extra delivery charges you will be advised of the additional cost before delivery of your order begins. You have the option to cancel the order if you do not wish to pay any additional delivery costs. 

Please note we are currently unable to deliver to PO Boxes.

If you are not available to collect and sign on the courier's first visit, they may leave it at a neighboring address. The couriers will attempt re-delivery up to a maximum of three (3) times and if delivery is not successful after the third attempt, they will return the goods to BLCK Flavour. BLCK Flavour reserves the right to re-charge the delivery cost for re-delivery.
