JollyTime Shipping Policy

Last updated: 21 October 2026

At JollyTime, we want your festive finds and Christmas surprises to reach you as smoothly as possible. This Shipping Policy explains how we process, dispatch and deliver orders placed through our online store.

1. Where We Deliver

JollyTime primarily delivers to customers within South Africa. Delivery availability may depend on your location and the services available through our delivery partners.

If we are unable to deliver to the address provided, we will contact you to discuss the available options.

2. Order Processing

Once your order has been placed and payment has been confirmed, we will begin processing it for fulfilment.

Processing includes verifying your order, preparing the products and arranging dispatch. Processing times may vary depending on product availability, supplier fulfilment and seasonal demand.

3. Estimated Delivery Time

Our estimated delivery timeframe is 8–11 business days.

Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding South African public holidays.

Delivery timeframes are estimates and may vary depending on your delivery location, product availability, courier operations and other circumstances affecting fulfilment.

During busy periods, particularly in the lead-up to Christmas, delivery may take longer than usual. We recommend placing your order early if you need your products for a specific celebration or event.

We will make reasonable efforts to deliver your order within the stated timeframe and will communicate relevant delays where reasonably possible. Nothing in this policy limits any rights you may have under South African consumer protection law if an order is delayed or not delivered.

4. Shipping Costs

Any applicable shipping or delivery charges will be displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Shipping costs may vary depending on your delivery location, order details and any applicable promotion.

If free shipping or a shipping promotion is offered, any relevant conditions or exclusions will be communicated as part of that offer.

No undisclosed compulsory delivery charges will be added after your order has been completed.

5. Order Confirmation and Tracking

After placing your order, you should receive an order confirmation using the contact details supplied at checkout.

Where tracking is available, tracking information may be provided once your order has been dispatched. Tracking updates are managed by the relevant delivery provider and may not appear immediately.

If you have not received your confirmation or tracking details within the expected timeframe, please contact us at jollytime.co.za@gmail.com and include your order number.

6. Incorrect Delivery Details

Please ensure that your delivery details are accurate and complete when placing your order.

If you notice an error after checkout, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to assist, but changes may not be possible once your order has been processed or handed to the courier.

Any additional charges for customer-requested address changes or redelivery will be communicated transparently and applied only where lawful.

7. Delayed, Lost or Undelivered Orders

If your order has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us at jollytime.co.za@gmail.com with your order number.

We will investigate the matter with the relevant delivery provider and work towards an appropriate resolution.

Courier delays and third-party service disruptions may affect delivery, but they do not automatically remove your rights under South African law. If an order is confirmed lost, cannot be delivered or is delayed in circumstances that entitle you to a remedy, we will address the matter in accordance with applicable law.

8. Damaged Parcels or Incorrect Items

If your parcel arrives damaged, or you receive an incorrect or missing item, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible.

To help us investigate, please provide your order number, a description of the issue and photographs of the parcel or affected product where reasonably available.

Please retain the packaging where practical while the matter is being investigated.

We will review the issue and arrange an appropriate resolution in accordance with applicable South African consumer protection law and our Return, Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Requests for photographs or supporting information will not override your statutory rights.

9. Unsuccessful Delivery Attempts

Please ensure that someone is available to receive your parcel where required by the selected delivery service.

If delivery is unsuccessful, the courier may follow its standard redelivery, collection or return-to-sender process.

If a parcel is returned to us because delivery could not be completed, we will contact you where reasonably possible to discuss the available options. Any additional delivery charges will be handled transparently and in accordance with applicable law.

10. Christmas and Peak-Season Shipping

As JollyTime specialises in Christmas and festive products, we may experience increased order volumes during seasonal periods.

Although our estimated delivery timeframe is 8–11 business days, delays may occur during peak shopping periods, public holidays or periods of courier disruption.

We recommend ordering early to allow sufficient time for delivery before Christmas or other special occasions. Delivery before a particular date is not guaranteed unless we have expressly confirmed that commitment.

11. Cancellations, Returns and Refunds

If you need to cancel an order or request a return or refund, please refer to our Return, Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Your statutory rights under South African law remain applicable, including rights relating to qualifying online purchases, defective goods, incorrect items and orders that cannot be delivered.

Nothing in this Shipping Policy limits any cancellation, return or refund right that applies by law.
