| Route | Johannesburg and selected Gauteng destinations | Supported destinations across South Africa |

| Before booking | Check the available service and required completion time | Check transit time for main centres, regional or outlying addresses |
For service details, see same-day courier Johannesburg and overnight courier South Africa.
When same-day delivery may suit your parcel
Same-day service can suit urgent business documents, replacement items and local customer orders when the route and collection timing allow it. Have the parcel ready and confirm that someone can accept it at the destination. Tell us about a deadline before booking.
When overnight delivery may suit your parcel
Overnight service can suit parcels moving between supported main centres. Regional and outlying destinations may take longer. Check the service shown for the exact collection and delivery addresses, rather than assuming every national address has the same transit time.

Our booking and tracking guide explains the details to prepare and how to follow the shipment after collection.
Temperature-sensitive products need ColdPod
Use a local ColdPod quote request for medical, chilled and frozen parcels. The team confirms the required route, packaging, temperature and timing before collection. A standard same-day or overnight parcel service does not provide temperature control.
