Step 1

Receive a PAXI token from a Business

The shop or business you made a purchase from will communicate a PAXI token with you. The PAXI token is a 13 digit code starting with the letter ‘T’.

Step 2

Find a PAXI Point

Go to your nearest participating PAXI point.

Step 3

Buy a Token bag for R5

Buy a PAXI Token bag from the cashier for only R5. Pack your return items into the bag and seal the bag.

Step 4

Provide PAXI token & return

Use the PAXI token and your ID document to send the parcel to the business. The token will already know where the parcel should go, so no need to remember any addresses. It’s that easy!

PAXI Insurance

All PAXI  parcels are covered up to R500 for parcel losses. If you are sending items of higher value you can get peace of mind by buying additional loss parcel insurance. Buy an insurance voucher for R10 which will give you up to R2500 cover or R20 for up to R5000 cover. PAXI parcel insurance vouchers must be activated within a 7 day period from purchase date. One voucher claim per parcel. Submit parcel claims directly through the PAXI WhatsApp menu +27 60 070 2492
