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.

Depending on the order and destination, delivery may include:

PUDO

The Courier Guy
-

Door delivery
-
Collection arrangements where applicable
