We ship to all governorates in Egypt via Egypt's leading logistics providers with nationwide coverage and real-time tracking.
Orders within Cairo & Giza are typically delivered within 3–4 business days via our courier, and other governorates within 4–6 business days depending on location. Orders containing items from more than one supplier may need an extra day or two to be consolidated before shipping. For Cairo & Giza customers, we also offer 24-hour express delivery and a weekly metro station pickup at a reduced cost — details below. We accept Cash on Delivery (COD) and online payment depending on the shipping method chosen.

Extra delivery options for Cairo & Giza
For Cairo & Giza orders from a single, fully in-stock supplier, two extra options appear automatically at checkout:
24-hour express delivery (scooter): via an Uber/Didi/inDrive courier. The trip fare (80–250 EGP, depending on your area and time of day) is paid to the courier directly in cash on delivery, while the order total itself is paid in advance online (card/wallet/Fawry or an InstaPay transfer) — Cash on Delivery is not available with this option, since the courier only collects their own fare.
Weekly metro station pickup: only 70 EGP. Order before Thursday 12:00 noon and pick up your order on Friday or Saturday from one of our available metro stations.
Cash on Delivery
You can pay in cash at the time of delivery. Collection fee: 10 EGP, or 1% for orders over 1,000 EGP, capped at 20 EGP - non-refundable. Fees vary by address and weight, and may change if the order is modified.
Cash on Delivery is available with shipping via a carrier or metro station pickup.
Cash on Delivery is not available in the following cases:
- If you choose express delivery - the courier fare is paid in cash directly to the courier, and the order total must be paid online in advance.
- If your total open orders exceed 5,000 EGP.
- Some marketplace items from third-party sellers may not accept Cash on Delivery - if your cart contains one of those items, the option disappears for the whole order, not just that item.
- A history of cancellations or delivery refusals may disable this option for future orders.
Returns & Exchanges
If you receive a defective, damaged, or incorrect item, contact us within 48 hours of delivery. We'll arrange a return pickup at no extra cost.
For returns to be accepted:
- Product must be in its original, unused condition with all packaging intact.
- All accessories, manuals, and any free gifts included with the order must be returned.
- Order confirmation or receipt required as proof of purchase.
Once we receive and inspect the returned item, your refund or exchange is processed within 7–14 business days. Refunds are issued via the original payment method. For COD orders, refunds are processed via bank transfer or Vodafone Cash.
For hygiene and safety reasons: opened fish food, water treatments, live products, and any item marked as non-returnable on the product page cannot be returned.
