Shipping Costs

- In-store collection: Always free
- Courier delivery: From R75 — exact cost shown at checkout
- Uber Parcel: Calculated by Uber based on distance from store
All prices include VAT where applicable, in line with the South African VAT Act 89 of 1991.
Where We Deliver
We deliver across all nine provinces of South Africa. Currently we do not ship internationally.
Some remote areas may have limited courier coverage. If your address cannot be serviced, our team will contact you to arrange an alternative or refund.
Age Verification on Delivery & Collection
🪪A valid South African ID or passport must be presented to verify the recipient is 18 or older — either to the courier on delivery or in-store on collection. This is a legal requirement under the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act 7 of 2024.
If no valid ID can be presented, the courier will not release the parcel and the order will be returned to us. Re-delivery fees may apply.
Orders cannot be left at the door, with neighbours, or at unattended pick-up points for cannabis products.
Packaging & Discretion
All orders are shipped in plain, unbranded packaging for your privacy. Outer packaging carries no reference to cannabis or our brand.
Inside, your products are sealed in tamper-evident, child-resistant packaging in line with applicable safety standards.
What If Something Goes Wrong?
Damaged or missing items: Inspect your parcel on arrival. If anything is damaged, missing, or incorrect, take a photo and email us at info@greengorilla.store within 48 hours of delivery so we can resolve it quickly.
Lost in transit: If your tracking shows no movement for 5+ business days, contact us. We'll investigate with the courier and either resend or refund in line with the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008.
Risk of loss: Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery. Once a parcel is signed for and ID is verified, the order is considered fulfilled.
