You as the customer are responsible for the payment of R95 postage/shipping for returns (round trip – outgoing and incoming) which will be deducted from your refund.

Your refund will be credited to match the original payment price. This will exclude shipping costs (with the exception of faulty items if applicable).  

6. Faulty goods

Goods are classified as faulty if they are received damaged.

Personally inspect packaging on delivery and note any damage on the receiving ticket before signing for it. If you have not opened the packages please write the words “unchecked” next to your name on the waybill.

Please report any shortages or damages within 24 hours from the time of receiving your merchandise in writing via e-mail. Please explain the problem or defect and include any photographs if possible so that we may best assist you. It may be that only a replacement part is required instead of shipping the complete product back to us, which will be issued at our own discretion.

 Please note that damaged items as a result of wear and tear are not considered to be faulty. Please contact us within 24 hours of receiving your order if your item has been delivered in a faulty state. Queries placed outside of this timeframe may not qualify for a refund. If we do receive notification within this time frame (24 hours), we will process an exchange for any faulty item received. 

Replacements can only be made once we have determined that there was a manufacturer defect or damage caused during transit.

If you do receive a faulty item, we will arrange a pick up of this item free of charge and arrange for a replacement to be sent or a refund to be processed. If the pick up is agreed and you, the customer are not at the premises when the courier arrives, you will be charged a R95 unavailability charge as well as the price of the pick up: R95. Any future pick up's will be at the customer's cost.

We do not accept returns or exchanges for any reason 30 days after delivery.

 

All custom made orders are made especially for you and are therefore final sales. We cannot accept returns, cancellations or exchanges on custom orders unless there is a manufacturer flaw.
