Choosing Your Throne: Brand Logistics
Before we talk about shipping trucks, we need to talk about box sizes. Premium chairs often come in heavier, reinforced packaging to protect the materials. For example, if you opt for high-end Noblechairs gaming chairs, you are dealing with heavy-duty German engineering and steel frames. These boxes are substantial, so ensure you have a helping hand to get it inside your home when the courier arrives.
On the other hand, if you prefer a racing-style aesthetic, Vertagear gaming chairs are designed for rapid assembly 🏎️. Knowing the brand helps you anticipate the delivery volume and assembly time required.
Delivery Timelines and Coverage
In South Africa, "overnight" isn't always possible for furniture due to volumetric weight. Most gaming chairs are shipped via economy road freight to keep costs reasonable for you.
- Major Centres (JHB, PTA, CPT, DBN): Usually 2–4 working days.
- Regional Areas: Allow 3–5 working days.
It is vital to provide a physical address where someone is available during business hours. Couriers cannot leave a R5,000 package at your gate.

Buying online requires trust. What happens if the chair doesn't fit your body type, or a wheel arrives cracked?
- Inspect on Arrival: Always check the box for external damage before signing the waybill.
- Keep the Packaging: This is the golden rule. If you need to return a unit—perhaps one of the ergonomic Enova chairs—you must have the original box and foam. Couriers will not accept an assembled chair without packaging.
- DOA (Dead on Arrival): If a part is missing or broken, report it to Evetech support within 48 hours.
Assembly Masterclass 🔧
When assembling your new throne, don't tighten the screws to 100% immediately. Get all bolts threaded in loosely first to align the backrest perfectly with the seat base. Once everything sits right, tighten them in an 'X' pattern to ensure even pressure and stability.
