   • Deliveries will usually occur within 5 working days in main metropolitan areas from when your order has been placed and paid for. Baby City reserves the right to change these delivery lead times.
   • Please note that lead times for peak shopping periods (i.e religious holidays, Black Friday etc.) may be delayed and we will seek to complete deliveries within 4-10 working days.
   • Baby City obligation to deliver a product to you is fulfilled when we deliver the product to the physical address nominated by you for delivery of your order. Baby City will not be responsible for any loss or unauthorised use of any product delivered to you.
   • On delivery of the order to the specified delivery address, you will receive our delivery note showing the items delivered, any non-available items, the delivery fees, Value-Added Tax and the amount debited from your payment card.
   • You must ensure that you or your authorised representative is available to accept delivery of your order during delivery hours. For verification purposes, the person accepting delivery at the delivery address may be required to produce a form of identification. Any person other than yourself who receives the products at the delivery address is presumed to be authorised to accept delivery on your behalf. Should no-one be in attendance at the time of delivery, the driver will keep the products and leave a notice at the delivery address to this effect. The delivery service will attempt to contact you in order to arrange for an alternate delivery time. We reserve the right to charge an additional delivery fee should it be required in the circumstances. Our liability for failing to deliver the products timeously is limited to delivery being effected at a later agreed time at no additional charge.
   • Please arrange that you or your authorised representative is available to provide appropriate access at the delivery address. On delivery, we will require you or your authorised representative to sign and print your or their name on a duplicate copy of the delivery note, provide OTP pin and if not available proof of identification to confirm receipt.
