  • As such we do not accept responsibility for any damages or shortages not reported within 48 hours.
  • Whilst every effort has been made to fulfil all orders correctly, should you choose to brand your order with another company, we encourage you to check all items received BEFORE they are branded. 
  • Frankiwaves Apparel cannot accept returns on incorrect items which have been branded regardless of whether it’s Frankiwaves Apparel’s fault or not.

FRANKIWAVES APPAREL CANCELLATION POLICY

  • Written and online orders constitute a binding contract and are legally enforceable.
  • Once an order, exceeding the value of R5000 ex VAT or more, has been emailed or placed online, cancellations prior to collection will be subject to a 15% handling and admin fee.
  • Any orders not paid for within 10 working days of being placed will be deemed “cancelled”. A 15% handling fee will apply, should the invoice exceed R5000 ex VAT or more.
  • If layouts are created prior to cancelling an order, a fee of R100 excl VAT will apply per layout, whether we were able to meet your deadline or not. We recommend checking stock availability and estimated lead-times prior to proceeding with any order.
  • Collected orders may not be returned for credit, unless approved in writing by management within 48 hours of collection, subject to a 25% handling and admin fee. Please do not return orders without prior written consent from Management. Orders returned without accompanying written consent and corresponding invoice will not be accepted by our returns department. Orders must be returned to the Johannesburg office.
  • Once stock of an item that is on special or “reduced to clear” has been collected no returns will be accepted, unless said stock is faulty.
  • Cancellation fees need to be paid before further orders will be processed.
  • Stock returns will not be accepted at the branches and are to be returned to our Johannesburg Head Office at your own expense.

DELIVERY SERVICE (BOOKED VIA WEBSITE):

  • Deliveries can be booked to destinations within South Africa only.
  • Orders will only be dispatched for delivery once all invoices booked on the same delivery are ready for collection. If there are branded orders on the invoices booked for the same, all job cards on the invoices must be ready for collection before the order is dispatched for delivery. Lead times for branded orders must be confirmed with our offices.
  • Branded orders that include delivery on the invoice will only proceed once the invoice is paid in full (including the delivery cost) and all job cards are approved.
  • In cases where the delivery invoice is separate to the invoice/s being delivered, delivery will only take place once the delivery invoice is paid in full and the order/s being delivered are ready for collection. Payment for a delivery-only invoice post orders being ready for collection may affect the delivery lead-time.
  • Should you require a guaranteed delivery date, please book your delivery accordingly, bearing in mind the total lead-time for the invoice/s you are couriering. Frankiwaves Apparel will not be held responsible should the above delivery times not be met, whether through the fault of Frankiwaves Apparel or the delivery service.
  • Delivery lead-times are dependent on consignment weight, service selected and destination.
  • Branding lead-times exclude delivery lead-times.
  • Delivery cannot be cancelled once the order/s are on a collection shelf.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Should there be any delays from our logistics partners, you will be notified via email.
  • Frankiwaves Apparel will not be held responsible for such delays.

WORKWEAR T’S & C’S:

  • Manufacture of workwear products only commences on receipt of order and payment. Once a sales order is generated your order may not be cancelled or changed.
  • Conti suit sets are sold according to the industry standard which directs that the pants in the set are 2 sizes smaller than the jacket. Conti suit sets will therefore be sold based on the jacket size, for example, if you place an order for a size 34, the jacket will be a size 34 and the pants size will be a size 30.
  • Kindly ensure that sizing has been established correctly before placing an order with us as sets will always be sold as per the above.
  • We will not accept any returns on “unbranded or branded” workwear items that have had tape specially applied as these are not ex-stock items. We will only accept returns on workwear items that are held in stock and readily available.
