8. Delivery to Remote & Rural Areas

One of the key advantages of our partnership with The Courier Guy Pep is access to delivery points in areas not typically serviced by traditional courier networks. If there is a Pep store near you, we can deliver to it. Should you be unsure whether a Pep store is available in your area, please visit www.pep.co.za/stores to locate your nearest branch.

9. Damaged or Lost Parcels

We take great care in packaging your order to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. In the unlikely event that your parcel arrives damaged or goes missing in transit, please follow the steps below:

  Contact us within 48 hours of receiving your tracking notification at support@adornorganics.co.za.

  Provide your order number, a description of the issue, and photographic evidence where applicable.

  We will liaise with The Courier Guy on your behalf and work to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.


Adorn Organics is not liable for parcels lost or damaged after successful delivery to your chosen Pep store. Please collect your parcel promptly once you receive your collection notification.

10. Uncollected Parcels

Parcels must be collected from the designated Pep store within 5 business days of the collection notification. Uncollected parcels may be returned to us. In such cases, re-delivery charges will apply and will be for the customer's account.

11. Incorrect Store Selection

Please double-check your selected Pep store at checkout. Once an order has been dispatched, we are unable to redirect it to a different store. Adorn Organics will not be held responsible for failed collections resulting from an incorrect store selection made by the customer.
