COVID-19 Delivery Information Update
Please access the official SA Government COVID-19 Corona Virus South African Resource Portal herehttps://sacoronavirus.co.za/
We are continuously monitoring the evolving situation around COVID-19 and are following the expert guidance of health authorities, local governments and the World Health Organization. We have implemented the following measures to ensure we can operate safely, and responsibly:
Steps have been taken to ensure that all our facilities have increased the frequency and extent of their cleanings
All staff are following WHO guidelines for personal hygiene and self-isolation
We have instructed drivers and delivery personnel to follow a ‘No Contact’ delivery policy:
When our delivery drivers arrive at your delivery address, they have been instructed to ring the bell, and stand back at a safe distance
The driver will place the products at your door and wait for you to answer
The driver will then record your name, date and time of delivery in front of you, so you won’t need to sign any paperwork
You collect your items and head back indoors
Please remember to wash your hands regularly, before and after receiving your delivery
Please avoid any direct contact with drivers, such as handshakes
