How It Works

Pick-Up

Parcels are picked up by courier partners 

Micro-fulfillment

Parcels are pre-packed and sorted at a Thumela micro-fulfillment centre for route optimization

Cross-Dock Hub

Parcels are pre-packed and stored at a Thumela cross-dock hub for route optimization

Parcel Tracking

Parcels are handled by trusted and vetted mini-bus taxi drivers and can be tracked in real time by recipients

Delivery or Pick-Up

Parcel recipients can collect from nearest Thumela point or get it delivered to their doorstep

Why Use Thumela

No one dares to mess with mini-bus taxi drivers! But don’t worry, we are friends with them

We all know it, even Michael Schumacher can’t beat mini-bus taxi drivers

Seriously, are you still paying those surge charges for township deliveries? Come on dude!

Home delivery or a pick-up? The choice is yours darling
