  1. PURCHASING GOODS

Our FAQ section tells you how to order and pay for products. It also addresses any questions you might have about delivery of your products, your right to cancel orders or return faulty products to us and our quality assurance.

As part of the initial order confirmation process we will request Pre-Authorisation of payment from your card issuer, this will show as a pending transaction for the full value of the order, this payment will only remain pending for a limited time should we not be able to complete your order. Payment is captured when we Dispatch goods to you.

If you are purchasing a Pre-order Item which isn’t currently in stock we will still process a Pre-Authorisation when the order is first placed but depending on the time until stock becomes available we may need to process a new transaction capturing relevant funds at that point when stock arrives. Please make sure you have adequate funds in your account around the stock due date.

ICONOMY reserves the right to decline orders for bulk or high value purchases and to change price and availability information without notice.

 

  1. PRODUCT ORDERS

All orders placed through the Website are subject to ICONOMY acceptance. This means that ICONOMY may refuse to accept or may cancel any order, whether or not the order has been confirmed, for any or no reason, and without liability to you or anyone else. If your credit card has already been charged for an order that is later cancelled, ICONOMY will issue you a refund.

 

  1. MULTI-BUY PROMOTIONS

Please note that any promotions/offers on the website cannot be used in conjunction with any other discounts.

 

  1. AVAILABILITY

ICONOMY will endeavour to display availability as accurately as possible.

If we are unable to supply the goods requested we will aim to assist you in finding a suitable alternative upon which you are happy with, however ICONOMY will not be bound to offer alternatives to a greater value than the item originally chosen, and a difference may be required to be paid.

If you do not wish for an alternative product we will cancel the order and any pending transaction promptly, please be aware that funds may take several days to reallocate in your account.

In the event that we do not receive all of an order from a supplier Pre-orders will be fulfilled in chronological order, we will contact any customers whom have missed out with either alternatives or refunds as mentioned above.

Pre-Order dates are provisional and although we do receive most stock on time we cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred for your time, or services you've paid for if there are delays or non-supply of product.

 

  1. CANCELLATION

In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 you have 14 consecutive days from the day after you receive your parcel to cancel your contract with us.

If goods have been dispatched you will be expected to cover the cost of return, and a 10% administration fee.

We regret that we are unable to cancel “made to order” items if the manufacturing process has begun. We therefore advise that you contact us, preferably by telephone, very promptly after placing your order if you wish to cancel. In the event that the manufacture of the “made to order” item/s has not already begun, cancelling the order will not be an issue. In this instance, we will issue a full refund or credit note.

 

  1. PRE- ORDER ITEMS

ICONOMY will initially Pre-authorise funds for the full order total at the point of ordering, however payment is captured for all pre-ordered items just before they are dispatched from our warehouse or, in the case of personalised items, payment is captured before they are sent for personalisation. Therefore Pre-Authorised funds may reallocate into your account if stock arrives more than 5 days after the order is placed, a new transaction will then be processed when stock arrives, please ensure you have funds available near the expected stock due date.

ICONOMY has no control over and does not accept responsibility for the length of time it takes for funds to be released back to your account.

Pre-Order dates are provisional and although we do receive most stock on time we cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred for your time, or services you've paid for if there are delays or non-supply of product.

By submitting your payment details to ICONOMY you accept that we will capture funds at the time stock is available for dispatch, ICONOMY will not accept liability for any charges applied by your card provider relating to the transaction.

 

  1. PARCELS LOST IN TRANSIT

Whilst goods are in transit to you, ICONOMY is responsible for ensuring delivery is at least attempted, and in the case you are unavailable to receive at the address you given to us we will supply sufficient assistance so you can locate and collect your order from the relevant delivery agent.

If you do not receive your parcel within the specified delivery time shown in the Basket, please track your parcel using the information provided in the Dispatch notification you received from us, if this doesn't assist with locating your parcel please contact us by phone or email.

We ask that we be given sufficient time to investigate with our delivery agents before either replacing or refunding goods.

We will not keep you waiting unnecessarily as we find in most cases parcels are located after investigation and are then received quicker than sending a replacement.

If delivery is to a commercial address (work/hotel) rather than a residential address, responsibility for locating the parcel rests with the customer as soon as we are able to confirm the parcel has been delivered to the reception area of the requested building. ICONOMY accept no liability for parcels lost or misplaced after delivery is confirmed.

 

  1. RETURNS

If an exchange or refund is required then the items should be returned to us in their original condition and packaging within 14 days of your purchase. Exceptions can be arranged for Christmas gifts and presents.

Unfortunately we cannot accept a returned item that has been “made to order” unless it is a fault of the manufacturer. This does not affect your statutory rights.

In all cases, the items returned must be in their original condition, which includes any packaging. All goods will be inspected on return. The goods are your responsibility until they reach our Warehouse. Please ensure you package your return appropriately to prevent any damage to the items or boxes.

For items returned as unsuitable, too big or too small if goods show signs of wear or are not in resalable condition they will not be accepted for return.

If after items are inspected they are deemed faulty or we have sent the items incorrectly both original shipping costs and returns shipping costs will be refunded to you. If the original shipping cost was for multiple items only a proportion of the cost relating to the faulty item/s will be refunded.

We reserve the right to refuse a refund or exchange if the goods returned are deemed to be damaged or tampered with not in accordance with normal use. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Please address return parcels to:

Shop 46 Design Quarter
Cnr Leslie Avenue and William Nicol Drive
