Here at Pet Heaven we have a R39 delivery charge for a bag of food up to 15kg to metro areas in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg. We think that's a pretty good value for money. Here's why:

1. Save money on travel: Lets simply do the maths here. Instead of choosing to pay R39, you choose to drive 10km to the vet shop and return home. So that's a 20km drive. The average vehicle rate for a 1.8L petrol driven car according to the AA is R4 per kilometer (the average after testing multiple 1.8L model types)20km at R4 per kilometer is R80. Double the price of delivery.

Heck, even if it was 5km away it would still be the same price:10km at R4 per kilometer is R40.

Okay, so its the same price. Did we add in the hefty car park charges once you arrive at the mall? Do you still feel like you've saved some hard earned cash? Well read on and decide for yourself...

2. Save money for yourself: Is it all about actually holding onto your pennies? Ask yourself right now, how much is my time worth? How much would I bill myself out for per hour? Use your time wisely. If you run your own business, spend the time on a revenue generating activity. If not, spend that time pleasing your boss. Or better yet, just go and relax. You earned it. Which brings us to the next point...

3. Save yourself some stress: Okay, so you're happy to spend the money driving to the vet store. And you don't have a boss to please. So maybe you're a hard working super-mum. In between dropping Joanna at swimming and Johnny at tennis practice you shoot to the vet shop. Its only 5km from the tennis courts. Bargain? How about meeting a wall of red lights on the highway? You're late to pickup Johnny at tennis and Joanna needs to get home to do homework. How about arriving only to find they're out of stock? Or the shop just closed. How about carrying a 15kg bag of food, pushing a pram and making sure Johnny crosses the road safely. The stress mounts easily and we all know there's a bounty price on that stress.

4. Save yourself some time: Stop cramming it all in. Enjoy some time with your friends & family rather than embracing the crowded streets and shopping centres. Why break your neck to save R39? Invite your best friend around for a cup of coffee during that time instead. Have more fun on your time, let us do the hard work.

5. Better value for money: Its common knowledge that most suppliers don’t stock the biggest, most economical bag sizes of most of the popular pet foods, since they know that the less food you purchase, the more likely you are to return again soon. And so Rocky gets a new shiny toy and another inconveniently sized bag of food! With us you can get Rocky's 15kg bag shipped to you hassle free. Don't waste your time with small bags of food.

We just want your life to be fun and convenient. And for your pet to be happy and fed! And to keep them fed, we're offering you a 50% discount on the metro areas shipping price for today only. Just enter the discount code "PETHEAVENDELIVERY" in the discount code area.
