Shipping & Delivery Policy
Last Updated: August 2026
At Sunalix, we are committed to providing a reliable, transparent, and efficient delivery service to customers throughout South Africa. This Shipping & Delivery Policy explains how we process, dispatch, and deliver orders placed through sunalix.com.
Please review this policy before placing your order. Delivery times and shipping charges shown at checkout are the most accurate information applicable to your order.
1. Shipping Coverage
Nationwide Delivery
Sunalix currently delivers to residential and commercial addresses throughout South Africa, subject to courier service availability for the delivery address.
We do not currently offer international shipping.
Dispatch Location
Orders are dispatched from our South African fulfillment location.
Fulfillment address:
30 Gemini St
Brackenfell South
Cape Town, 7560
South Africa
If an order is dispatched from a different location, the applicable dispatch information will be communicated to the customer where relevant.
2. Shipping Costs
Shipping charges are calculated at checkout based on factors such as the delivery destination and the weight and/or dimensions of the products in the order.
The applicable shipping charge will be displayed to you before you complete your purchase.
From time to time, Sunalix may offer promotional free-shipping offers. Any applicable free-shipping promotion will be clearly communicated on the website and will be subject to the terms of the relevant promotion.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, promotional free shipping does not apply retroactively to orders already placed.
3. Order Processing & Handling Time
Standard Processing Time
Orders are normally processed within 1–2 business days, Monday through Friday.
Processing time refers to the time required to verify, prepare, pack, and hand your order to the delivery carrier.
Order Cut-Off Time
Our standard order processing cut-off time is 12:00 PM (SAST), Monday through Friday.
Orders placed after 12:00 PM will generally begin processing on the next business day.
For example, an order placed after 12:00 PM on Friday will generally begin processing on the following Monday, excluding South African public holidays.
Weekends & Public Holidays
Orders placed on Saturdays, Sundays, or South African public holidays will generally be processed on the next business day.
Business days do not include Saturdays, Sundays, or South African public holidays unless otherwise stated.
4. Estimated Delivery Times
After an order has been processed and handed to the courier, standard transit time is generally 3–6 business days.
Our estimated total delivery timeframe is therefore:
1–2 business days processing + 3–6 business days transit = approximately 4–8 business days total.
These are estimates rather than guaranteed delivery dates. Actual delivery times may vary depending on the destination, courier network, weather conditions, public holidays, remote-area delivery requirements, and other circumstances outside Sunalix's reasonable control.
The estimated delivery timeframe displayed at checkout should be used as the most relevant estimate for your specific order.
5. Tracking Information
Once your order has been dispatched, we will send a dispatch confirmation containing the available tracking information to the email address or mobile number provided when the order was placed.
Tracking information may take approximately 24–48 hours to become active after the parcel has been handed to the courier.
Once active, you can use the tracking information provided to monitor the progress of your delivery.
If you have not received tracking information within a reasonable period after your expected dispatch date, please contact us at info@sunalix.com.
6. Delivery Address
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address when placing an order.
Please ensure that your:
-
Full name or business name
-
Street address
-
Suburb
-
City/town
-
Province
-
Postal code
-
Contact telephone number
are accurate and complete.
If you notice an error in your delivery address, contact us as soon as possible at info@sunalix.com.
We will make reasonable efforts to update an address before the order is dispatched, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once an order has entered processing or has been handed to the courier.
7. Failed or Undeliverable Deliveries
A delivery may be considered undeliverable if, for example:
-
The address supplied is incomplete or incorrect.
-
The recipient is unavailable after the courier's delivery attempts.
-
The delivery is refused.
-
The courier cannot safely access the delivery address.
-
The courier cannot complete delivery because of circumstances associated with the recipient or delivery address.
If a parcel is returned to Sunalix because it could not be delivered for a reason attributable to the customer, additional shipping charges may apply if the customer requests that the parcel be shipped again.
Any refund relating to an undeliverable order will be handled in accordance with our Returns & Refund Policy.
8. Delayed Deliveries
Although we aim to meet our estimated delivery times, delays can occasionally occur because of circumstances outside our reasonable control.
These may include:
-
Severe weather
-
Flooding or road closures
-
Courier network disruptions
-
Peak-season courier congestion
-
Public holidays
-
Remote or difficult-to-access delivery locations
-
Unexpected operational disruptions
-
Incorrect or incomplete delivery information
-
Other events outside our reasonable control
If we become aware of a significant delay affecting your order, we will make reasonable efforts to assist and provide available information about the status of your delivery.
9. Lost, Damaged, or Incorrect Orders
If your order appears to be lost, arrives damaged, or you receive an incorrect product, please contact Sunalix as soon as reasonably possible at info@sunalix.com.
Where appropriate, please provide:
-
Your order number
-
Your name
-
A description of the issue
-
Photographs of damaged packaging or products, where applicable
We will investigate the matter with the relevant delivery provider and/or fulfillment team and work with you toward an appropriate resolution in accordance with our Returns & Refund Policy and applicable consumer protection requirements.
Customers should not dispose of damaged products or packaging before we have had an opportunity to assess the issue, unless doing so is reasonably necessary for safety.
10. Order Cancellations
If you wish to cancel an order, contact us as soon as possible at:
Email: info@sunalix.com
We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate cancellation requests received before dispatch.
Once an order has been dispatched, cancellation may no longer be possible. In such cases, the customer may need to follow the applicable procedure under our Returns & Refund Policy.
11. Express & Same-Day Delivery
Sunalix does not currently offer a standard express or same-day delivery service.
If an express or other special delivery option is available for a particular product or promotional campaign, the applicable delivery option, cost, and estimated timeframe will be clearly displayed before purchase.
12. Shipping Information at Checkout
The shipping cost and available delivery information presented during checkout are specific to the order and delivery address entered by the customer.
Customers should review the shipping charge, delivery address, and other order details carefully before completing their purchase.
Sunalix aims to keep the shipping information displayed on our website consistent with the shipping information used for our online product listings.
