Shipping Policy
Last Updated: 14 July 2026
At Auto M (Pty) Ltd, we work with trusted local and international suppliers to deliver quality automotive accessories across South Africa.
Shipping Within South Africa
We deliver to residential and business addresses throughout South Africa using reputable courier partners.
Orders are processed through our Pretoria office and fulfilled by either our local warehouse or trusted dropshipping suppliers, depending on the product ordered.
Order Processing
Once payment has been confirmed, orders are typically processed within 7-14 business days or longer dependent on the courier option selected at checkout.
During peak periods, public holidays, or promotional events, processing times may be slightly longer.
You will receive a confirmation email once your order has been dispatched.
Delivery Times
Estimated delivery times are:
-
Major cities: 7–14 business days
-
Regional and outlying areas: 14–21 business days
-
Remote or rural locations: 21–30 business days
Please note that these are estimated delivery times and may vary depending on supplier availability, courier operations, weather conditions, or other factors beyond our control.
Dropshipping Orders
As a dropshipping retailer, some products are shipped directly from our suppliers.
As a result:
-
Certain products may require additional processing time.
-
Items ordered together may arrive in separate deliveries.
-
Delivery times may vary depending on supplier location and stock availability.
If an item is temporarily out of stock, we will notify you as soon as possible and offer one of the following options:
-
Wait for the item to become available
-
Select an alternative product (where available)
-
Receive a full refund
Shipping Costs
Shipping charges are calculated automatically at checkout based on the size, weight, destination, and number of items ordered.
Typical delivery rates start from:

Order Tracking

Courier delays
-
Severe weather
-
Customs clearance (where applicable)
-
Public holidays
-
High order volumes

Events beyond our reasonable control
We appreciate your patience and will keep you informed should any significant delays occur.
