  • Should the customer determine that there is damage to the goods then the parcel must be immediately returned with the courier delivering the parcel or handed back to the warehouse dispatch clerk, and a replacement item will be supplied.
  • If the parcel has been accepted and subsequently any patent damage is only noticed  subsequent to unwrapping the goods, the customer shall notify Spacery of the damaged goods within 7 (seven) days of deliver by sending photographic evidence of the damage to info@spacery.co.za for assessment before a replacement item will be supplied.
