Estimated delivery time is 8–11 business days from the date your order is dispatched.

Please note that these delivery timeframes are estimates only and are not guaranteed.

Delivery times may vary depending on:

  • your location;

  • adverse weather conditions;

  • public holidays;

  • strikes, civil unrest, or other events beyond our reasonable control.

4. Delivery Delays

While Little Joy Co will make every reasonable effort to ensure that your order is delivered within the estimated timeframe, we shall not be held liable for delays caused by Aramex Store to Door or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Such circumstances may include, but are not limited to:

  • courier network disruptions;

  • extreme weather events;

  • industrial action;

  • acts of God;

  • governmental restrictions; or

  • inaccurate delivery information provided by the customer.

Nothing in this clause limits any rights afforded to consumers under applicable South African law.
