Fulfilment

Where products are sourced through supplier-fulfilled arrangements, the supplier sends the product to Erasmus Group first.

Erasmus Group then receives, checks/prepares where appropriate, packages and fulfils the customer's order.

Products are therefore not ordinarily shipped directly from the supplier to the end customer.

Where products are already held locally, orders may be processed and dispatched directly by Erasmus Group.

Internationally sourced products are received/imported by Erasmus Group before customer fulfilment.

Delivery Methods

Depending on the order and destination, delivery may include:

  • PUDO

  • The Courier Guy

  • Locker / kiosk collection

  • Door delivery

  • Collection arrangements where applicable

  • Personal delivery where applicable

Estimated Fulfilment

The usual estimated fulfilment and delivery timeframe is approximately 10–15 business days, excluding customised or made-to-order items.

Actual delivery times may vary depending on product availability, supplier fulfilment and delivery destination.

Tracking information is provided where applicable.

Digital-only purchases are delivered electronically following successful payment through the applicable digital delivery/access system used for the particular product.
