Shipping & Returns

Delivery to your door

Parador charge no additional delivery fees for main centres only. If the specified address is not in a main centre or surrounding areas up to a certain amount of kilometres, Parador will calculate the shipping cost and quote the customer.

Collection Points

Collect at one of our retail partners

At Parador you are un-able to order online but directly from head office, and then collect in store at one of our trusted retail partners. Once the order is placed, we will contact you asking which store is closest to you and when that stock will be available for collection. 

Parador provides a national delivery service to your door for all products ordered. You can specify when finalizing your order whether you would like us to deliver the stock to your door or whether you would like to collect it at a retail agent. In the odd occasion where the delivery address is in a rural area, Parador may request an alternative delivery address in a major city centre near you for delivery.

(Please note: When ordering from our retail agents, please make sure that your stock has been reserved or made available at the store before collecting.) We will automatically calculate the delivery charge for your order. Note that your zip code specified is your area zip code and not your postal zip code, though these may be the same sometimes.
