Tailored delivery service for Joburg Shopping Festival

Visitors to the festival will be able to take advantage of significant retail discounts knowing that their purchases can be sent ahead and delivered to their homes. This service allows travellers to fly home without excessive baggage charges at the airport.

“Our shopping delivery service has been specifically tailored for the shopping festival and aims to make the shopping experience a little easier for visitors in Johannesburg. The service is ideal for travellers that have large, heavy or bulky purchases and to ensure that the service is affordable, special negotiated rates are offered when sending from Johannesburg to SADC and certain other countries,” said Michele van Rensburg, GM of business development.

Collected from hotels

U-Bag's delivery service allows shoppers to have their shopping collected from their hotels, air freighted and delivered to their homes. The service simply requires details to be SMSd and a customer service agent will call back to confirm the booking. View the daily pick-up times per area on the website and book a collection date no later than one day before your pick-up date. U-Bag will meet you at your hotel and will arrange everything on the spot.

Free boxes and packing materials are supplied at the pick-up point. With safety and security being top of mind, boxes are shrink-wrapped and are automatically insured for loss, theft and damages. Shoppers can track their shipments online for added peace of mind.

The service and discounted rates are available from 1 to 30 September 2009.
