Frequently Asked Questions
Shipping Information (and/or local pickup)
Where are you Located?
What Shipping Methods Are Available?
Depending on your location (it is IMPORTANT to specify your postcode!), and the location of the products you’ve selected, you’ll be given delivery options (at checkout).
These options are individually offered by the vendor companies (and not by horti.co.za).
If you choose a local company, and they offer free delivery, you’ll be offered this. An option by this company might also be that you can pickup the order yourself. PLEASE WAIT for a notification from the company to tell you that your order is ready and waiting – before arriving to pick it up!
How Long Will it Take To Get My Package?
Different vendors have different delivery times. Please be assured that you will get a notification email when your package has been processed and is either ready for delivery or is on its way.
Delivery terms are normally specified by each vendor on their page. (and are also shown on the product details page).
How Do I Track My Order?
You can track your order by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page.
(You’ll need your order ID number and your email.)
You will receive an email when your order has been processed and is on its way.
Do I Need A Account To Place Order?
No, you do not need an account to buy something.
However creating an account will speed up the process for any future purchases, or if you return to the website. For example it will remember your name, your address and your delivery (shipping) address. It’ll also remember any ‘wishlist items’ or items you placed in your cart. But it will not remember your credit card details – unless you specifically want this.
ALL data is protected and encrypted. (see the locked padlock at the top of the page).
