Online Printing and Delivery To Remote Areas – Are You In A Remote Area?

Can I order online printing and have it delivered to me?#

Absolutely! You can order online printing with Printulu, and we'll deliver straight to your door. We've got 6 delivery options to choose from, and our Economic Delivery won't cost you a cent.

Does Printulu offer delivery to remote areas for online printing?#

Here's something that catches most people off guard: Printulu delivers all over South Africa for free. Yes, really! We get the same shocked reaction every time we tell people this. Unless you're in a rush and need to upgrade your delivery speed, our economic delivery doesn't cost anything extra on top of our already competitive prices.

There's just one small catch. If you're living in a remote area, your delivery might take a bit longer to reach you. Remote deliveries are trickier than your standard city runs – both from a cost and logistics perspective. Most companies charge extra fees for these areas, but we keep your standard delivery completely free.

<AcademyProTip>Always check your postal code against our remote areas list before placing urgent orders. This helps you plan your timeline better and avoid last-minute stress.</AcademyProTip>

What is considered a remote area in delivery terms?#

House in the middle of nowhere

A remote area is basically anywhere that's not close to major cities or courier hubs. Think small towns, rural suburbs, and places that aren't densely populated or easily accessible for courier companies. These spots are just naturally harder for delivery services to reach efficiently.

Before you start thinking we should just switch courier companies – trust us, we've looked into this. The same areas are considered remote by pretty much all courier services across South Africa.

So, do you live in a remote area?#

If you've ordered deliveries before, you probably already know if you're in a remote area. But if you're not sure, we've put together a comprehensive list of all the postal codes that fall into this category.

Some areas are even trickier to reach because of specific logistical challenges. If your postal code appears in the list below, give us a quick call so we can arrange the most efficient delivery route for your order.

What you can expect from our Online Printing Service?#

Van driving fast

Living in one of these areas? We know it's not ideal, but here's the good news: we keep you updated every step of the way. You'll get a delivery estimate once your order is processed, but you might need to add some buffer time if you're in a remote location.

Most courier companies only service remote areas once or twice a week. Depending on where you live, you might only receive deliveries on specific days – say, Tuesdays and Thursdays. This varies by location and which courier handles your area.

Take Michael, one of our long-time customers. He lives in a remote area and knows his deliveries only come on Mondays and Wednesdays. He's got the system figured out perfectly.

Recently, he needed [<a href="https://www.printulu.co.za/product/flyers" class="internal-link text-[#007756] hover:text-[#005d42] underline font-medium">flyers</a>](https://www.printulu.co.za/product/flyers) for an event the following Friday. Smart guy that he is, he placed his order the Tuesday before, giving us our standard 5 business days plus some wiggle room. His flyers arrived with time to spare!

<AcademyQuote>The key to successful remote area deliveries isn't just about the courier – it's about understanding your local delivery schedule and planning accordingly.</AcademyQuote>

**_We recommend that you should budget an extra two days on the delivery date we give you if you live in a remote area, just to be safe._**
