Delivery and shipping
We offer shipping to local (South African) and international destinations worldwide via a door-to-door courier service. Your parcel can be tracked during its entire journey. The smart receipt system on the payment gateway will automatically calculate your shipping charge, based on the weight and dimensions of the items, the destination and the selected delivery method. The delivery charge will then automatically be added to your invoice. Delivery costs are variable as they are primarily dependent on the destination and weight of the items purchased. Please refer directly to the site and follow the checkout process to view delivery costs before finalising your order. If you require further information, please contact us on orders@thehouseofmachines.com
For local (South African) deliveries, the approximate delivery time is 2-5 working days. Local shipping/ delivery is provided by a third-party service provider.
For deliveries to international countries, the approximate delivery time is 5-7 working days.Certain countries are excluded from the online check-out list due to varying cost structures.
