Frequently Asked Questions

Are Your Rates Expensive?

We do not think so. For comparison, most other traditional courier services charge R138 plus per 20 kilogram dry goods for deliveries. The Other Courier Person charges up to R 194.00 per 25 kilograms, and still require appropriate packaging. Our direct competitors charge R270 per 20 kilograms. We charge a nominal fee for the 1st 60 kilograms.

Do you Charge per Kilogram, Parcel or Weight?

If you plan and stay within our shared schedule, we charge a nominal fee per delivery for up to 60 kilograms per delivery or STOP. If a single delivery exceed 60 kilograms, and you want to leverage the shared schedule, we apply a R1,75 per kilogram surcharge to the load calculated as the difference of your load minus 60 kilograms. Loads may not exceed 200 kilograms in this instance. Any delivery requiring large volume moves, are charged at half day or full day rates.

How Many Kilograms Can You Load?

We operate 3 ton vehicles, which legally can load 1200 kilograms. However, we prefer to keep the total weight below 1000 kilograms to help protect our vehicles.

Do You Service Distribution Centers?

No we do not. As a courier, we need to achieve a certain number of deliveries per day to survive. Distribution Centers introduce massive delays in our daily schedules, and therefore we cannot achieve more than 5 deliveries per day, which is not sustainable for a small company such as ours.

Do You Service Retail Outlets?

No we do not. As a courier, we need to achieve a certain number of deliveries per day to survive. Retail Outlets introduce massive delays in our daily schedules, and therefore we cannot achieve more than 5 deliveries per day, which is not sustainable for a small company such as ours.

Do You Follow the AA RATE PER KILOMETER Guidelines?

No we do not. We operate a SHARED SCHEDULE based on ZONES across Gauteng, using a daily schedule to service specific zones. Please review our Service Zones for additional information.
