We do not keep any items for over the counter purchases on our premises in Midrand.

Please submit the order online and we will confirm stock availability for you.

15. If I do not like the product can I have a refund?

We try to accurately display all our products online, if you have received a product which is different to the product displayed online we will happily collect the item from you and refund you for the item.

In both cases products will only be exchanged if they are unused and in original packaging.
