Due to the current conditions around the world, huge strains have been put on the medical industry as well as manufacturers internationally and locally. As Africa Surgical & Engineering we do not hold large volumes on certain lines and rely on our suppliers to deliver timeously for us to complete your order. At this time due to the huge demands on our suppliers, there are delays on some of our products and will therefore be a delay on our supply. We will keep you informed should a product that you have ordered may be affected. We will clearly indicate the estimated time of arrival to you, and endeavour to keep you updated on a timeous basis.

We make use of the Courier Guy to ship all our packages to customers all over the country. During the checkout process, Africa Surgical & Engineering will determine your delivery fee based on the weight & size of the parcel in question. For South African orders, if you select door to door delivery, Africa Surgical & Engineering will deliver after payment has reflected in our banking account or on our payment Gateway within 2 – 10 working days depending on where you live. For deliveries to Namibia, and other African countries Africa Surgical & Engineering aims to have your package to you within 15 working days, but this could vary based on external factors outside of our control.

Please note: No orders will be dispatched until funds have cleared in our banking account or reflect via our payment gateway (Payfast). Should you require your order urgently please make use of the instant EFT option via Payfast.

Orders are dispatched within 1 – 5 working days from date of confirmed order. Payment confirms order.

Should you have any queries regarding your delivery options, please call our customer support agents on 021-555-1760 or email: info@asae.co.za
