Fulfillment Schedules & Lead Times
We operate two distinct delivery streams to ensure your stationery arrives on time without confusion.To provide clear expectations, Pexpacks Supplies categorizes fulfillment into two distinct operational delivery streams:
Stream A: Seasonal School Pre-Orders
Because school stationery demand follows the annual South African academic calendar, our seasonal pre-order model is structured as follows:
- Pre-Orders Open: October annually.
- Pre-Order Cut-Off Date: Mid-December annually (exact date published on product order pages).
- School Term Delivery Window: Pre-orders placed for partner schools are packed during December and delivered directly to the school campus during the first week of the school term in January, ensuring learners receive their complete stationery packs right inside their classrooms before lessons begin.
Stream B: Individual Year-Round Orders
For standard, non-pre-order purchases placed throughout the year:
- Order Processing Time: 24 to 48 hours (1–2 business days) to pick, quality check, and pack your items.
- Carrier Transit Time: 2 to 4 business days for doorstep courier delivery, or 3 to 5 business days for Paxi counter collection.
