If you return a product that does not comply with the above return policy, you may be liable to reimburse SA Canvas for the cost of collecting the product from you and the cost of having the product returned to you.
2. Shipping
SA Canvas keeps as complete an inventory as possible, however some items are offered on-order basis only or may be out of stock. This will mean that the delivery time will be slightly longer than usual, as products need to be manufactured.
In the event of an extended delay in delivery time or price fluctuations, we will be in contact with you.
We reserve the right to cancel an order for which payment has already been received. This may occur if stock is insufficient or the quality of goods ordered does not meet our standards. Should we exercise this right, you will receive a full refund with no deductions.
In-stock items are dispatched once payment is reflected on our bank account.
- Orders without welding/stitching: Ship same day as payment is cleared by PayFast (same day) or same day as direct EFT shows in our account as long as this is cleared by 12h00.
- Orders with welding or stitching may take two days before shipment and will only be manufactured when payment is cleared by PayFast (same day) or same day as direct EFT shows in our account.
- Orders being shipped to major centres will be as per the service selected (next day or economy 3 day). Orders being shipped to non-major centres will take one additional day for shipping.
