We maintain flexible guidelines regarding returns, refunds, and cancellations to guarantee total customer satisfaction. This policy details your options and our operational procedures to ensure a transparent, hassle-free transaction.
Core Policy Requirements
- Public Accessibility: This policy is accessible to everyone visiting our online shop without logging in, signing up, or entering personal information.
- Language Compliance: This text is provided in English, meeting regional and international transaction standards.
1. Return Window, Logistics, and Costs
Our return policy applies to all standard, used, and unmodified shipping containers (including 3m, 6m, and 12m units) under the following terms:
- Return Window: You have a 15-day window from the date of physical delivery to request a return, exchange, or refund.
- Return Shipping & Costs: In the event of a valid 15-day return or exchange, All Africa Containers fully covers all transport and crane hire fees. The customer incurs R0.00 return shipping fees.
- Restocking Fees: We charge no restocking fees (R0.00) for returns, even for “change of mind” requests.
- Return Method: Returns are facilitated via physical collection by our designated transport fleet. Customers must coordinate collection dates directly with our support team.
- Broad Condition Eligibility: Returns are approved for new, used, or slightly used units showing any pre-existing structural issues, minor operational wear, or cosmetic blemishes.
- Change of Mind Protection: We accept returns and offer full refunds if you change your mind or your project requirements alter after the container has left our yard.
- Comprehensive Damage Coverage: Any defects reported within the 15-day window qualify for immediate resolution. You are never penalized for third-party transit or offloading mishaps.
- Guaranteed Remedies: For any valid claim, we will immediately provide your choice of an on-site repair team, an exchange for an identical model, or a full refund.
2. Custom Conversions & Modular Solutions
Customized units include site offices, classrooms, modular homes, or any container modified to your specifications:
- Pre-Production Cancellations: Orders can be adjusted or cancelled with accommodating refund terms before final manufacturing steps are completed.
- Workmanship Guarantee: All custom modifications include a comprehensive workmanship warranty covering interior electrical wiring, plumbing, and insulation.
- Priority Warranty Service: If any issue arises during your designated warranty period, a repair team will be dispatched to your site to correct it immediately at no extra charge.
3. Transport, Rigging, and Delivery Adjustments
Logistics services are fulfilled by professional heavy-duty freight carriers and crane transport teams:
- Delivery Site Support: Our transport teams will actively assist in navigating site obstacles such as narrow gates or tight turning radiuses to ensure a successful offload.
- No Failed Delivery Penalties: If a delivery cannot be completed due to unforeseen site obstacles, we will work with you to reschedule without charging automatic, punitive transit fees.
4. Container Rentals (Leasing Contracts)
For commercial or private container leasing agreements, the following rules apply:
- Fair Contract Cancellations: Termination notices and cancellation timelines are handled flexibly according to your project’s changing timeline.
- No Hidden Early Fees: Returning a leased unit ahead of the agreed schedule features waived or minimized early termination fees.
- Lenient Returned Condition: We accept normal operational wear, tear, and slight usage. Deposit deductions are strictly minimized and only applied in cases of extreme, malicious structural damage.
5. Refund Processing Timelines
When a refund is approved under our 15-day policy or due to an authorized cancellation:
- Secure Payment Method: All refunds are safely processed via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to protect your financial security and comply with South African banking laws.
- Direct Account Matching: Refunds are paid exclusively into the bank account name and number associated with your original purchasing details.
- Accelerated Timeline: Approved refund transfers are expedited, taking just 3 to 7 business days to reflect in your bank account.
