For the order made based on an affiliated school's booklist, you may only choose the delivery date within the delivery schedule pre-arranged for that affiliated school's booklist.

For example, if the order is made based on Anderson Primary School's booklist, the delivery dates available for that order may differ from an order made based on Marsilling Primary School's booklist.

 

To ensure that all online customers receive their order(s) as scheduled, we only accept a maximum of 500 orders per time slot per delivery date. Once a time slot is full, it will no longer be available.

Online customers may only choose from the time slots that are still available to them at the time of ordering.

 

While we will attempt to arrange delivery based on your selected time slot and delivery date, we shall not be held liable for any delay for failing to do so or for any reason whatsoever. We reserve the right to re-schedule the delivery in the event that the delivery cannot be affected on your selected time slot and delivery date. In the event thereof, the courier will contact you accordingly.

It is your duty to ensure that you provide us with the correct and complete delivery address and all other necessary contact particulars, including your full name, contactable telephone numbers, and valid email addresses etc., when you register your account with us or when you submit your online order.
