Can my delivery costs change after I place an order?
PLEASE NOTE DUE TO THE EXHORBITANT INCREASES IN FUEL GLOBALLY, our delivery partners have increased prices, SK Home continue to subsidise our clients deliveries on the below basis.
In most cases, no, however for larger orders, delivery fees can be affected due to their weight and size and in these cases the answer is yes. However please be comforted that this will be discussed with you before proceeding with your order and you can choose to cancel your order if this is a dealbreaker.

The delivery of furniture items are not as simple as overnight couriers (unfortunately). The weight and dimensions of furniture causes the delivery fee to fluctuate.
SK Home subsidises the delivery fee as a value add to our clients and therefore you automatically receive a discounted delivery charge. Due to the dimensions of typical furniture items, we charge:
- a flat fee of R560 for delivery within 50km in Johannesburg
- for distances between 51km and 100km, delivery fee is R850
- for distances between 101km and 200km, delivery fee is R1350
- for distances more than 200km and nationwide, delivery fee is R1950 on a pooled basis schedule.
- For smaller decor items under a certain weight, delivery is R180 countrywide.
- The above delivery fee covers a typical “cart”. For larger orders, we reserve the right to charge a delivery top up fee. This will be agreed up front before we proceed with an order. The delivery top up fee can be activated if the number of items or the weight of the items are greater than the typical “cart”. This usually occurs with our commercial clients who place large orders for their events and functions businesses or show houses and furnished estates etc. or if custom measurement orders require a larger than normal truck to deliver.
We do not profit from delivery fees.

Could there be delays in my delivery?
