Delivery Information

  • Most items listed on this website are not held in stock at our premises (unless otherwise stated) and are rather ordered from various suppliers as orders are placed. While we constantly update the site’s prices and product stock levels based on information from our suppliers, it is recommended that you wait for an email from us before making payment for any orders placed on the website. We will also give you an estimated delivery time. Certain items, such as fully-assembled PCs, may have a slightly longer lead-time (due to the fact that they’ll need to be assembled and tested). Should any item not be in stock with our suppliers, we will contact you to suggest a substitute product. At this point, you may accept the substitute, place the item on backorder, or cancel the item from your order.

Once the order has been confirmed, you can make payment via EFT or cash deposit. These are the only payment methods that we accept currently. Orders will be placed with our suppliers once proof of payment has been received and shipped once the payment is reflected in our bank account. Due to having accounts with all the major SA banks, we can process most EFTs immediately. This allows us to get products shipped to you much quicker when you make payment via EFT.

Payment must take place within 48 hours of placing the order, or we may cancel it or update it if pricing has changed.

Delivery Options:

Door-to-door Courier (via Fastway, The Courier Guy & First Freight):
NOTE: Door-to-door couriers do not deliver to PO Boxes. Please provide a Street Address at checkout.

Your order will be delivered directly to your door. Please note that your order’s weight is calculated using the higher value of actual or volumetric mass for each product. The delivery rate is calculated according to the total weight of the items in your cart, the total price of the cart, as well as the destination address.

We currently do not ship to remote locations such as farms or mines. These orders will unfortunately be cancelled.

Collection from Vanguard PC’s Offices:
We do not currently allow on-site pickups.

How long will delivery take?
Typically, we’ll get the courier to collect your order within 24 hours (provided that you pay into the correct bank account). Delivery timeframes for each courier are displayed on the checkout page before you complete the order. These timeframes are valid for business days, and take effect from the time that we dispatch your order.

If you’re not in one of the major centers listed, delivery may take 1 or 2 days longer than the above-specified times. All packages are fully trackable, and tracking numbers will be provided once your order has been shipped.

What happens if I don’t receive my order?
All orders dispatched from our offices are guaranteed to be delivered. If your order is lost, damaged, or stolen, we will either send you a replacement order or we will refund the full order to you. It’s at our sole discretion to choose whether to replace or refund the order. This is a fantastic service that we feel is absolutely essential to provide peace of mind to our customers.

If any parcel delivered by our couriers appears to be damaged, please be sure to verify both the contents and condition of the consignment in the presence of the courier driver. Email or contact us on live chat immediately if any product is damaged or missing. Liability for any shipments sent from us ends with the obtainment of a clean signature from the consignee upon delivery of the goods.
