Delivery Schedule 

All goods are normally shipped via DHL. We are able to track parcels sent by either method until they reach the given delivery address.   
Please try to ensure that someone is available to sign for your parcel, as we must have a signature upon delivery. If nobody is available to sign for the 
consignment, the courier will put a card through the letterbox showing a contact telephone number or collection desk. You should be able to arrange a time 
when you will be available to sign for the parcel or you may have the option to take the card, along with suitable 
I.D., to your local depot and collect from there.

additional costs involved with re-sending the parcel.

If you need any item for a particular deadline, please contact us and we will try to endeavour to accommodate your requirements.

If your item is particularly styled or designed to your specifications, we will reserve 10% deduction of refund in case of order cancellation announced 
by the customer within the given delivery time space. When the item has been delivered and the customer wants to return the item against refund, 
we will deduct 30% from the given order value = full payment, provided that the item/s arrive in perfekt condition and without any charge on us for shipping 
or handling.

a) Return of Goods which are damaged or faulty.

Please contact us initially to discuss the problem. 

We have differing return procedures for faulty items depending on the item in question, so it is necessary for you to contact us so that we can ensure 
the quickest and most efficient way to deal with your problem.

In accordance with Trading Standards regulations we will:

1) Where an item is faulty or damaged on arrival i.e. from the moment of receiving the item, we will replace the item or damaged parts of the item.

2) Where an item develops a fault within the manufacturers guarantee period,  we will firstly offer repair.

Where repair is not possible we will replace the item. Where a replacement is no longer available, we will offer an alternative, upgrade, or an equivalent item. Since we are not offering standardized mass products, we can only esteem delivery- or replacement time.


3) Where neither repair nor replacement is possible and some benefit has been had from the item, we will offer a refund but deduct 10% of item payment.

4) Where neither repair nor replacement is possible and no benefit has been had from the item, we will offer a full refund within 6 months after delivery.

If you wish to return any item, for any reason other than damage or fault, please ensure that it is well packed and is returned unused and in its original 
condition, within 7 days of  receipt. All security seals must be intact and unopened.

Please quote your customer reference number and invoice number.

We regret that we are unable to refund any delivery costs that we have incurred in shipping your order. We are also unable to refund any cost that you 
have incurred in returning the unwanted item to us. 

A handling charge will be levied for returning goods under these circumstances. This will be 10% of the sales price.
