Return & Refund Policy
Our products are fragile, please read before purchasing.
Important, fragile goods notice
GRC fibre-cement pots are heavy and brittle. They can crack or chip if dropped, struck, or improperly handled. We take great care in packaging, but once goods leave our facility and are accepted by you, responsibility for safe handling passes to you. Please inspect every item before signing for delivery.
Your 7 day right to change your mind
Because you bought online, South African law (Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, section 44) gives you 7 days from the day you receive your order to cancel it for any reason at all. You do not have to explain why, and there is no penalty.
- • The pots must come back unused and undamaged, in their original packaging.
- • You carry the cost of returning them to us. Please do not post them, arrange a courier used to fragile freight or bring them to the factory.
- • We refund you in full, including the original delivery fee, within 30 days of cancelling.
The one exception the Act allows: items made specially to your own specification, meaning a size, shape or colour we do not sell in the catalogue. Anything you ordered off the shop pages is covered.
To cancel, email info@potsforgrabs.co.za with your order number, or log it below. Nothing else on this page limits this right.
