- Should a consumer make a purchase & decide to cancel due to the purchase having been made in error or the consumer has had a change of mind prior to or after delivery of the order, a 10% admin fee will be deducted from the amount paid by the consumer, to cover banking & admin costs/fees which we have already been charged, the balance of which (Excl. Shipping Fee), will be refunded to the consumer via EFT only once the consumer's funds have been cleared in our account & after the item/s have been received back in good order. As we don't hold stock & ship direct from supplier, most suppliers will impose a restocking fee (Which may range anywhere between 20-25%) for returns, should this be the case, the consumer will be liable for such a cost & will additionally be deducted from any amount to be refunded. In addition, the return of orders, in such instances, will be at the consumers risk & cost. The returned item/s must reach us within 7 working days of receipt of the item/s.
- We strongly encourage the consumer to ask as many questions as possible prior to placing an order.
- It must be noted that due to us shipping directly from suppliers, in the unlikely event of an out-of-box-failure (Item is received and immediately found to be faulty), unlike a brick and mortar retail store where you will take the item back for an immediate exchange, as they hold stock on hand, we will arrange a collection of the item to be sent back to the supplier for assessment or may direct you to a service agent nearest to you, after which the supplier will ship a replacement item directly back to you; unfortunately this comes at the expense of 'time" & it could take up to 10 working days for you to receive the replacement unit as we don’t provide loan units.
