If a parcel arrives damaged, please contact the parcel service or carrier immediately. If an item arrives defective, you can of course return it to us and receive either a replacement item or a refund of the purchase price. You can see how to return an item in the previous question.

Returns can be processed via the online shop. To do this, select the order under "My account" and create a return for the items and quantities concerned. Add photos or a comment if necessary.

Please pack the goods carefully to avoid damage during transport. Make sure that the goods to be returned, including any accessories, and are sent back in the original product box. Please do not stick the parcel label on the product packaging, but use an outer carton instead.

The processing of a return is usually completed within 3-5 working days of receipt. If the defect is of a qualitative nature, the inspection may take 2-4 weeks. If you urgently require a replacement, please contact our Customer services department.

If the order was delivered to you by a forwarding agent, the online returns notification function is not available. Please contact our customer service team by e-mail at info@bohle.co.za or by telephone on +27 11 792 6430 (Monday to Thursday from 07.30 am to 4.30 pm, Friday from 7.30 am to 2.30 pm).

The transfer of risk generally takes place (unless otherwise agreed) when the goods are handed over to the carrier. We will be happy to handle the transport damage for you, but expressly point out that the risk has been transferred. In order to assert a claim against the carrier and/or its insurance company, we expressly require the completed claim form.

Obvious transport damage

The damage (e.g. packaging is torn or dented) must be noted on the supplier's delivery documents and then signed for by the delivering driver. If the driver refuses to sign, please note: "Driver has refused to sign". If the signature is provided on a display device, sign slightly smaller and add the note "DAMAGED" as clearly as possible. The driver should also mark the consignment as defective in his IT system. You can also use your company's standard damage form for this purpose. If a driver refuses you the opportunity to accept the goods with a damage note (he either insists on a signature without a note or no acceptance), please refuse acceptance and inform us immediately. If in doubt, refuse to accept a damaged delivery before you have to pay for the damage yourself and report the damage to us.

Concealed transport damage

If the damage is not visible from the outside (the box or pallet is undamaged from the outside, but the goods show signs of damage after opening), the goods are accepted "against receipt only", in contrast to open transport damage. No damage note was made to the carrier/parcel service. Complete documentation (photos of the outer and inner packaging, photos of the damaged areas, description of the damage, etc.) is therefore essential. Furthermore, hidden damage must be reported to us within a maximum of 5 working days. After that, the shipping companies, parcel services and insurance companies will assume that the goods have reached your premises undamaged and the damage can therefore no longer be settled.

A replacement delivery will be arranged for you immediately after the return has been processed. Of course, there are no minimum quantity surcharges and shipping costs. If you urgently need a replacement, our sales department will be happy to send it to you for a fee. A credit note will be issued once the return has been completed.

If you wish to receive a credit note or if this is due to the calculated replacement delivery, we will send it to you immediately after completion and credit it to your customer account.
