IMPORTANT UPDATE
Things are happening at GAK! We are currently in the process of moving to a new and improved warehouse facility. In the long term, this will revolutionise our warehouse operation resulting in faster dispatch times and better service for our customers. But this process might cause some disruption in the short term.
We currently have a team working hard to get our new warehouse up and running as smoothly as soon as possible. Unfortunately, in the meantime the move will impact our ability to process and dispatch all orders in the normal time frame. We have already re-located a large quantity of stock, so most orders will not be affected. But we still have some stock in transfer, so we might not be able to dispatch your order to meet the delivery deadline.
We would like to thank all our customers for bearing with us during this busy time! We are aiming to have our new warehouse up and running at full steam in the next 7-10 days.
