Deliveries
Site conditions & access points
- The delivery site needs to have adequate access, and the route to and from the points of delivery on site needs to be suitable and safe for use. If this is not the case, it is essential that the site and access conditions are communicated to one of our team for alternative planning.
- The company will assist with offloading the vehicle to the nearest accessible point that is safe and without obstruction. Our off-loading assistance does not include carrying material up staircases, into elevators or basements, or packing products into storage racks or shelves.
Timing of deliveries & pre-booking loads
- Time of delivery and availability are subject to stock and vehicle availability, and will be communicated to the customer prior to the delivery taking place.
- Please specify requirements clearly when ordering and we will do our best to get your order delivered according to your requirements.
- Pre-planning is appreciated — 48 hours’ notice will assist in ensuring you receive the material required on time for local deliveries.
- For long distance deliveries we recommend pre-booking vehicles one week in advance.
Documentation & successful delivery
- Delivery shall be deemed to have been successful upon signature of the delivery note by the customer, its employee or agent.
- In the unlikely event that there is a problem with your order being delivered, please report this to an internal sales consultant.
- The details of the discrepancy need to be recorded on the delivery / dispatch note.
- Please request the driver to endorse and validate the notes recorded, by signing and writing their name on the document.
- Return the endorsed copy with the driver and retain a copy for your records.
- We will rectify the problem as soon as possible, making this a priority delivery.
Returns
- In the unlikely event that you are not entirely satisfied with our products due to incorrect deliveries or damages, please report this to the Internal Sales Consultant within 72 (seventy two) hours of delivery.
- The claims procedure will be followed to determine the root cause, and a credit will be processed accordingly if applicable.
- Return of stock and standard items will only be accepted by prior arrangement.
- A handling charge of 10% of the original invoice value will be levied to cover transport, admin and handling charges, unless otherwise agreed to by an authorised representative of the company.
