Delivery
If a product is in stock, delivery in Cape Town takes 3-7 working days, and standard delivery in Johannesburg takes 3-10 working days. Nationwide orders arrive in 7-12 working days, depending on your area.
If you opt for premium Block & Chisel delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg, our own team delivers with our own trucks. They unpack your piece, do basic assembly where needed and place it in your home. Outside these areas, we deliver through trusted logistics partners. This is a kerbside service, and assembly and packaging removal aren't included.
You can also collect online orders from our Cape Town warehouse or our Sandton store.
Cape Town collection address :7 Ottery road , Philippi , Cape Town. It is best to type Block & Chisel Warehouse in Google maps to take you directly there.
Sandton collection : 11 Charles crescent , Sandton
Made by Block & Chisel pieces are made to order, so lead times of 10-12 weeks apply before delivery. See How long does a Made by Block & Chisel piece take?

If the subject of the sale is a specific product on display in a Block & Chisel showroom and viewed by the customer, the product is sold as seen. The customer agrees to accept the product in its current in-store condition.
In-stock pieces are ready to deliver or collect. Made-to-order pieces, including our Made by Block & Chisel range, are built for you after you order, in your chosen finish. That means a longer lead time and different return terms.
- In stock: delivery follows our standard delivery times. You can change your mind on online orders within 14 days of delivery.
- Made to order: allow 7-8 weeks. Because the piece is made specifically for you, made-to-order items can't be returned for a change of mind. They are, of course, covered if there's a defect.
Made by Block & Chisel is made to order from our own designs and finishes. It isn't a custom-specification service. If you're unsure which applies to a piece, the product page will tell you, or you can ask a consultant.
Please allow 10–12 weeks for a Made by Block & Chisel piece. Each one is made to order in our Cape Town workshop, in the finish you choose, and delivery is arranged once it's complete.
The lead time covers building your piece from sustainably sourced wood and applying one of our signature finishes by hand. We'll keep you updated along the way. If you have a date in mind, such as a move or an event, speak to a consultant before ordering and we'll tell you what's realistic.
Yes. Our five stores in Cape Town and Sandton are set up as rooms, so you can see how pieces sit together, and try sofas and chairs for comfort. Stock varies by store, so check before you visit.
On any product page, select Find in store to see which stores have that piece. Our consultants can also help with measurements, finishes and fabric choices, and can take you through Made by Block & Chisel options in person.
For online orders, you can request a change-of-mind return within 14 calendar days of delivery, provided the item is unused and in its original packaging. Defective products can be returned within 6 months under the Consumer Protection Act, and you choose a repair, replacement or refund.
- Damaged, incorrect or missing parts: let us know as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours of delivery.
- In-store purchases: exchange or store credit within 72 hours, for unused items with proof of purchase.
- Not eligible for change-of-mind returns: made-to-order and custom items (including Made by Block & Chisel), and items that have been assembled, used or altered. Sale items may be final sale.
- Collection costs: for bulky change-of-mind returns, collection is for your account. If the return is due to a defect or our error, we cover it.
Natural materials like wood and cane vary in grain, tone and markings. This is part of their character, not a defect.
