How does next-working-day weed delivery work?
You order and pay online, we pack your order in sealed, plain packaging and hand it to The Courier Guy, and it usually arrives in 1 working day at your door or a PUDO locker. The 2pm cut-off decides which day your order leaves us.
In short, the journey looks like this:
- You order in the store and pay by card at checkout.
- We pack your order in sealed, plain, unbranded packaging.
- We dispatch it with The Courier Guy. Orders placed before 2pm are dispatched the same day; later orders go out the next working day.
- You track it with the tracking email and WhatsApp updates.
- You receive it at your door, or collect it from a PUDO locker with a PIN.
The rest of this post explains each step in more detail.
What is the 2pm cut-off?
The 2pm cut-off is the time by which your order needs to be placed to leave us that day. Orders placed before 2pm are dispatched the same day and usually arrive in 1 working day; orders placed after 2pm go out the next working day and usually arrive the day after that.
| When you order | When it is dispatched | When it usually arrives |
|---|---|---|
| Before 2pm on a working day | That day | The next working day |
| After 2pm on a working day | The next working day | The day after dispatch |
| Late in the week or at the weekend | The next working day | Check the "Receive by" date |
Deliveries run on working days. The easiest way to know your date is to look at the live "Receive by" date on any product page before you pay. It is worked out from the moment you are ordering, so it takes the cut-off and the day of the week into account for you.
If you need your order for a particular day, such as a Saturday, aim to order a day or two ahead, before 2pm.
What happens after you pay?
After you pay, your order is picked, packed and handed to the courier. Every order is packed in sealed, plain, unbranded packaging, with nothing on the outside to show what is inside.
You pay by card at checkout, so there is no cash to hand over and no meet-up. Membership is free, but you do need to be a member: register once and confirm you are 18 or older before your first order.
Everything in our range ships the same way, so you can mix products in one parcel. Our flower and pre-rolls are craft grown: highest-grade organically grown cannabis from our own farm, sent farm direct with no middleman. We also stock THC vapes, gummies and THC drinks.

How do you track your order?
You track your order with the tracking email we send when your parcel ships. It has the tracking number and a Track button that opens the courier's tracking page.
You also get WhatsApp updates when your order is dispatched, so you know it is on its way without having to check. If anything about the tracking looks wrong, contact us through the contact form or at orders@greenvault.co.za; we usually reply the same day. Members can also open a support ticket in the account area.
Door delivery or PUDO locker: what is the difference?
Door delivery brings your parcel to your home or work address; a PUDO locker holds it at a Courier Guy locker you choose, and you open it with a PIN sent to your checkout mobile number. Both go through The Courier Guy, and both are usually in 1 working day when you order before 2pm.
| Door delivery | PUDO locker | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it goes | Your home or work address | A locker at a mall, shopping centre or fuel station |
| Who needs to be there | Someone to receive it | Nobody, collect when it suits you |
| How you get it | The courier hands it over | Enter the PIN sent to your checkout mobile number |
| Best for | People who are usually home or at the office | People who are out all day or want extra privacy |
| Fee | Shown at checkout | Shown at checkout |
Delivery fees are shown live at checkout, so you always see the current amount before you pay. Our guide to PUDO locker delivery explains lockers in detail, including which ones are open all day.
Where does next-working-day delivery reach?
Delivery in 1 to 3 working days covers all of Johannesburg and the rest of Gauteng, and we send to the rest of South Africa by courier. In Joburg that includes areas such as Sandton, Rosebank, Randburg, Fourways, Midrand, Soweto, Roodepoort and the East Rand.
Each of these has its own page with local details and nearby PUDO lockers:
- North: Sandton, Rosebank, Randburg, Fourways, Midrand
- West: Honeydew, Roodepoort, Soweto, Krugersdorp
- East: Bedfordview, Edenvale, Germiston, Kempton Park, Boksburg, Benoni, Brakpan, Alberton
- Further afield: Centurion, Pretoria, Vanderbijlpark
Every other area is on our Gauteng delivery page. Outside Gauteng, the "Receive by" date on the product page shows when to expect your order.
Why is delivery next day rather than within the hour?
Delivery is next day because every order goes through The Courier Guy, which is what gives you tracking, PUDO lockers and delivery outside Joburg. A courier network runs on a daily dispatch, so the order leaves us on the day of the cut-off and arrives with in 1 working day's deliveries.
The trade-off is worth knowing about. A seller promising weed within the hour usually means a private driver, cash and no record of the sale. With a courier you get a tracking number, a sealed parcel and a business you can contact if anything goes wrong.
How do you make sure your order arrives on time?
Order before 2pm, check the "Receive by" date, and make sure your address and mobile number are right. Most delays come from small details at checkout.
- Order early in the day. Before 2pm means dispatch that day.
- Look at the "Receive by" date before you pay, especially late in the week.
- Double-check your address for door delivery, including unit numbers and complex names.
- Use the right mobile number. WhatsApp updates and locker PINs go to it.
- Choose a locker if nobody is home. It saves a missed delivery.
- Watch for the tracking email so you know when the parcel is on its way.
