Transit Times & Calculations
Frequently Asked Logistics Questions
Empower shippers with automated volumetric calculations, route cut-off times, and waybill scan lookups.
How is volumetric weight calculated for a 40×40×40 cm box?
We use the industry standard volumetric divisor: (Length × Width × Height in cm) ÷ 5000. For a 40×40×40 cm box, (64,000 ÷ 5000) = 12.8 kg volumetric weight. If the actual scale weight is 8 kg, the shipment is billed on the greater volumetric weight of 12.8 kg.
What is the transit time from Johannesburg to Cape Town and Durban?
For Overnight Express Road received by 16:00, transit time is next business day by 11:00. For Economy Road Freight, transit time is 2 to 3 business days to main metro hubs (CPT/DBN/PLZ).
How can I track my shipment after hours?
Simply enter your 10-digit waybill number (e.g. SFE-10293847) in our chat receptionist. The system retrieves the latest depot barcode scan, hub departure status, and estimated delivery window.
Do you offer regional and outlying town deliveries?
Yes. Outlying and agricultural regions are serviced 2 to 3 times per week with standard regional surcharges applied. Provide your destination postal code for exact scheduling.
