Important Update: Fulfilment Fee Adjustment Effective 01 April 2026
Takealot announces a 7% increase in fulfilment fees across size and weight bands to maintain service levels and support long-term seller growth.
At Takealot, we view our sellers as strategic partners in building a marketplace that delivers value to customers and growth for businesses.
Together, we continue to expand our nationwide reach, improve delivery speed, and enhance the overall customer experience to unlock greater opportunities for your brand, all while maintaining a stable fee structure during a challenging economic period.
Since our last fulfilment fee adjustment on 1 March 2023, we have continued to invest in infrastructure and logistics capabilities to help you sell more efficiently and convert more customers.
To ensure we can maintain service levels and continue investing in solutions that support long-term seller growth, we will be implementing a fulfilment fee adjustment effective 1 April 2026.
Fulfilment fees will increase by 7% across size and weight bands. All other fee structures remain unchanged.
Please note: Fulfilment Fees are charged when an item is shipped from the DC. This means that lead-time items sold before 1 April 2026 but shipped on or after 1 April 2026 will be subject to the new fee.
