Ordering furniture for a home in East London? Delivery costs a flat R500 on every order. Large furniture has to make it through your home before it reaches the room, so most of this page is a measuring checklist — doorways, passages, staircases and apartment access — to work through before you check out.
East London Delivery Charge
East London is outside Gauteng, so each order delivered here is charged R500 regardless of its value. There’s no free-delivery threshold for East London; that offer covers Gauteng orders above R10,000 only.
There’s no East London branch or showroom, we don’t hold stock or run a warehouse in the city, and there’s no local collection point or team. We also don’t quote delivery timeframes on this page. Orders are placed online, and delivery details are arranged with you after checkout.
Measure Before You Order
Start with the product listing’s dimensions, then measure your own home. You’re checking whether the piece can travel from the street to the room it’s meant for.
Doorways
Measure the width and height of every door on the route with the door fully open, and note anything that reduces the gap, such as a security gate, hinges or a door stop.
Passages and corners
Measure passage widths and look at any turns. A long item may fit a passage but struggle to turn into a doorway off it.
Staircases
Measure the stair width, the ceiling height above the stairs and any landing where the piece has to turn. Handrails and light fittings can narrow the usable space.
Apartments and complexes
Find out whether there’s a lift and measure its door and interior. Ask your building manager or body corporate about booking the lift, loading areas and permitted delivery hours.
If any measurement looks close, send it to us on WhatsApp with the product name before you order.
Pieces Worth Measuring Carefully
Larger items deserve the most attention: Sofas, Beds, Chests of Drawers and Dining Room furniture. Browse everything in the Shop.

When Size Is the Issue
If your measurements show a piece is slightly too big for the space, a size change may be possible on selected products — as may a different colour or fabric. Send the product link and the dimensions you need through Furniture Customisation, and we’ll confirm feasibility and price before production.
