How to Order

1. Search for the books you want and add to cart

  • To find the book you need, you may sometimes have to type in title and author. For example, Counseling is the name of a book, but also a general category – many books come up in the search. Type in ‘Counseling MacArthur’ and MacArthur’s book will come up.

2. View Cart

  • Besides giving you a summary of what you have purchased, you can select your collection/delivery option.
    • Collection option – specify which branch you want to collect from – Good Neighbours (Randburg) or Augustine Bookroom (Pretoria). There is no packing charge, but if you are sending your own courier to collect from us, you need to indicate so in the Order Notes. (This appears after the address portion once you have proceeded to Checkout.) We can then have the parcel packed and ready.
    • S.A post option – please note that postage is no longer a delivery option – all our local post offices have closed down.
    • Courier option – no automatic fee shows – when we get your order, we calculate a courier fee for you as it is dependent on weight and destination. If you choose this option, the fee will be shown on your invoice that we email.
    • NOTE: We use The Courier Guy door-to-door-courier service. We do not have a Pudo account,. If you wish to use Pudo, you need to register with them, select the door-to-locker service, and send for collection when we indicate that your parcel is packed. Select the ‘Collect from Good Neighbours’ option, and indicate ‘Pudo’ in the Note box.
