Returns
- Once stock has been collected/delivered from/by LF Media, LF Media has no control over it. As such we do not accept responsibility for any damages or shortages not reported within 24 hours.
- Whilst every effort has been made to fulfil all orders correctly, should you take our goods to an external branding company, we ask that you check all items received BEFORE they get branded.
LF Media cannot accept returns on incorrect items which have already been branded regardless of whether it’s LF Media’s fault or not.
- It may take up to a week to carefully check the stock that is returned and once we are satisfied that stock is fit for resale we will issue the refund or credit note.
- Once an order for memory sticks has been collected from us, we unfortunately cannot accept a return on it.
- We do not accept returns on discontinued and clearance items.
- We do not accept returns or changes to orders for items that need to be assembled – eg. PEN-730
- The ETA (estimated time of arrival) dates indicated for stock are updated regularly but due to unforeseen supplier, shipping or customs delays, these dates cannot be guaranteed.
- Day 1 of branding is the day after receipt of both artwork approval and payment (COD clients).
- Lead times exclude weekends, South-African public holidays and LF Media’s annual shutdown period.
- In terms of public health regulations, identified essential products are prohibited for return or exchange due to strict health controls.
PAYMENT
- Payment made for purchases on the website is processed via PayFast. No banking info is retained or processed on lf-media.co.za
- In the case of cheques deposited into one of our four bank accounts, stock will not be released until the funds have been cleared in our account.
- We do not accept cash for any orders since having cash on the premises is a security risk.
- We accept all payment forms as prescribed by PayFast (except for mobicred payments)
- We encourage EFT’s and have facilities at our offices to make Internet payments.
- Stock will only be released once proof of payment has been received. We encourage you to pay into our matching bank account to ensure that your order is cleared immediately.
- Payments from outside South Africa take between 4 and 7 working days to clear. Orders will only be released once payment has reflected.
- For orders that require branding, branding will only commence once stock and branding have been paid for in full.
- Please contact your Account Manager to confirm that we have received your proof of payment, once payment has been made.
- LF Media cannot be responsible for missed deadlines if you have not confirmed that payment has been received.
ORDERS COLLECTED BY COURIER
- Please do not send your couriers to collect orders until you have received an email from LF Media notifying you that your goods are ready for collection. Once the emailed invoice is received, your order is ready for collection.
- Please ensure that your courier knows who they are collecting for and how many orders they are collecting. All relevant invoice numbers must appear on the collection form.
- Stock will not be released to couriers until payment is received. Please do not send your courier to collect if you have not made payment and provided proof thereof to LF Media, and confirmed that we have received the proof of payment.
