Do I need to register a profile on the website?
Yes, you do. Please refer to “How Our Website Works” page.
What happens if the product I ordered is out of stock?
The branch will call you to make alternative arrangements. You can either wait until it is back in stock, switch to another product, or request a refund.

Shipping and Delivery
How long does delivery take?
We aim to deliver all orders within 2–5 working days. Please see our Collection/Delivery T&Cs.
Can I track my order?
The branch will send you the tracking slip/number from the courier, either by e-mail or telephone. You can contact the branch during store hours. Please see our contact details for our Stores.
Is my payment secure?
Definitely. We only use secure, trusted payment gateways to protect your data. Pet & Pool does not store your banking details. The transaction is handled between the payment portal and your bank account.
Which areas or provinces do you deliver to?
We deliver to any area that is accessible to couriers in South Africa. Please see our Collection/Delivery T&Cs.
Do you have a Click & Collect option, where customers also have the option to collect their orders themselves?
Yes, we do. Please see our Collection/Delivery T&Cs.
Do you have any free delivery options?
Yes, we do. We offer free delivery on orders over R1 000, VAT included, within a 20 km radius of the branch. Please see our Collection/Delivery T&Cs.
Who must sign for my order?
You do not need to sign personally; however, you will need to arrange for someone reliable to sign for your package on your behalf. Please inform this person that they need to keep the package in its original packaging until you have had time to confirm that your order is correct, as damage to the original packaging or wear and tear may affect our returns policy.
Payments
What payment options are available?
We have two payment options available: you can pay via Adumo using a Visa, Mastercard, or debit card, or via Instant EFT. When paying a branch directly, the branch will send you a sales quotation with the banking details and reference number on it.
Again, your payment is safe — we only use secure, trusted payment gateways to protect your data. Pet & Pool does not store your banking details. The transaction is handled between the payment portal and your bank account.
Note: Diners, American Express, or other credit cards are not accepted by our system.
Can I make a purchase using an international card for delivery within South Africa?
Yes, you can. We will need a South African address for delivery. Important: VAT is charged on these orders, and this applies only to Visa and Mastercard transactions. Diners, American Express, or other credit cards are not accepted.
When will my funds be debited off my account?
If your payment is successful and the order goes through, the funds should be debited immediately from your chosen account.
When will my EFT deposit be processed?
Online orders are not open for EFTs, but EFT payments are available. This can be arranged with the branch through a sales quotation. You can contact the branch directly (Stores) or e-mail us at support@petandpool.co.za
