Takealot Fulfilment Solutions

Takealot Fulfilment Solutions (TFS) is the fulfilment arm of the Takealot Group. Unlike a general parcel courier, TFS is designed for Takealot Marketplace sellers: they receive seller inventory into distribution centres, pick and pack orders on the seller's behalf, and hand the parcel to a courier for last-mile delivery. The Group reports 185+ service areas and a 30-minute turnaround target from order confirmation to dispatch.

Because TFS bundles pick, pack and courier into one service, their published pricing is not comparable to a standard per-lane courier rate. Fulfilment fees are set by Takealot size class (Standard / Large / Oversize / Bulky / Extra Bulky) crossed with weight class (Light / Heavy / Heavy Plus / Very Heavy), ranging from R22 (Standard-Light) to R390 (Extra Bulky) VAT excl.

DeliverAI classifies TFS as a Fulfilment Partner rather than a parcel courier. We do not show TFS in per-lane rate comparisons because per-lane per-weight rates are not publicly available and we do not fabricate estimates. The fulfilment-fee bands are published transparently on this profile page and referenced in the weekly Price Index footnote. This classification honours DeliverAI's methodology principle: truth over completeness. If TFS opens a per-parcel rating API to non-Marketplace senders in future, we will onboard them as a live-tier courier.
