Book in Procedures & Terms and Conditions
Applicable when booking in any and all hardware
Before we assess or send your hardware in for repairs, kindly note that an assessment fee of R 795.00 excl VAT is charged should the quotation to repair be rejected. This fee is charged for the labour of assessing the unit. A traveling fee of R 450.00 excluding VAT is charged for collection and delivery of the unit.
Timeline breakdown from book in, to collection:
- Diagnostics: The unit usually remain in this state for 2 – 5 business days. Thereafter a quotation is sent to repair, reload, or replace the unit which is only valid for 1 week (7 days).
- Parts: If the parts are sourced nationally the parts usually arrive within 5 – 7 business days (after the quotation is approved). Should parts be sourced internationally it may take anywhere from 10-15 business days or more for the parts to arrive.
- In Progress: Once the parts are received the repair takes 3 – 5 days for the unit to be repaired.
- Quality Control: The unit is sent to quality control the same day the repair is completed and can take up to 1 business day.
Significant delays can be caused by, but not limited to, the following:
- Striking: Courier services striking.
- Parts being dead on arrival: In the event of a part being a dud, the part will need to be returned to the supplier and a new part ordered.
- Part shortages: In rare cases the unit is returned unrepaired and the repair centre will advise when the unit may be rebooked once parts are available and have arrived.
