Customer responsibility includes ensuring products are suitable for the intended use, liquid type, and local compliance requirements. Professional installation is recommended where required, especially for pumps, fuel handling, and chemical storage.
4.3 Reconditioned items
Reconditioned or used items are cleaned, inspected, and tested. Cosmetic marks, surface wear, or signs of previous use may be present and do not automatically indicate a defect.

Nationwide delivery is available within South Africa. Delivery cost depends on order size, product type, and destination.

Customer responsibility includes ensuring safe access for delivery vehicles and arranging suitable offloading equipment and labour where required. Failed delivery attempts may result in additional charges.
5.4 Inspection on arrival
Inspect items upon delivery or collection. Report visible damage or missing items as soon as possible, with clear photos where applicable.
