1. Introduction

At Eye Society, we are committed to delivering your order safely, efficiently and as quickly as possible.

Should international delivery become available in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.


3. Shipping Costs

We are pleased to offer FREE standard shipping on all orders within South Africa.

There is no minimum purchase amount required to qualify for free delivery.

Special promotions or express delivery options may be introduced from time to time.


4. Courier Partner

Orders are delivered through our trusted courier partner, Bob Go, or any alternative courier appointed by Eye Society where necessary.

The courier selected may vary depending on your delivery location, operational requirements or service availability.


5. Order Processing

Orders are processed during our normal business hours:

Monday – Saturday

09:00 – 17:00 (South African Standard Time)

Orders placed outside business hours, on Sundays or public holidays will be processed on the next business day.

Before dispatch, every order is subject to:

  • payment confirmation;
  • stock availability;
  • quality control inspection; and
  • fraud prevention checks where required.

Eye Society reserves the right to delay dispatch where additional verification is reasonably required.


6. Estimated Delivery Times

While we strive to deliver as quickly as possible, delivery times are estimates only.

Major Metropolitan Areas

Estimated delivery:

2–3 Business Days

Regional & Outlying Areas

Estimated delivery:

Up to 7 Business Days

Delivery times commence once your order has been confirmed and dispatched.

During promotional events, public holidays or unforeseen circumstances, delivery may take longer than estimated.


7. Order Tracking

Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing tracking information, where available.

Customers may also track their orders through their Eye Society customer account.


8. Delivery Requirements

To ensure successful delivery:

  • a complete delivery address must be provided;
  • a valid contact telephone number must be supplied;
  • someone authorised must be available to receive the parcel during business hours.

Eye Society cannot accept responsibility for delays resulting from incomplete or incorrect delivery information supplied by the customer.


9. Failed Deliveries

If delivery cannot be completed because:

  • no recipient is available;
  • the delivery address is incorrect;
  • access cannot reasonably be obtained;
  • the parcel is refused without justification,

the courier may attempt redelivery or return the parcel to Eye Society.

Additional delivery charges may apply where redelivery is required due to customer error.


10. Delivery Inspection

For security and quality assurance purposes, customers may not open or inspect products before signing for delivery.

If you believe your parcel has been damaged during transport, please:

  • accept the parcel where appropriate;
  • take photographs of the packaging before opening;
  • notify Eye Society within 48 hours of delivery.

We will investigate the matter promptly and, where appropriate, arrange a replacement or refund in accordance with our Returns & Refund Policy.


11. Risk and Ownership

Ownership of the products passes to the customer only once full payment has been received.

Risk of loss or damage passes to the customer upon successful delivery to the address provided during checkout.


12. Click & Collect

Eye Society may offer a Click & Collect service at selected collection locations.

Where available:

  • customers will receive notification when their order is ready for collection;
  • valid proof of identity and the order confirmation may be required upon collection;
  • orders must be collected within the timeframe communicated by Eye Society.

Eye Society reserves the right to cancel uncollected orders after a reasonable period and process a refund where appropriate.


13. Delivery Delays

Although we make every effort to meet our estimated delivery times, delays may occur due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including:
