Delivery Policy and Charges

• A delivery fee will be charged for each delivery order placed by the client. Deliveries will take place from Monday to Saturday, 08h00 till 17h00, excluding Sundays and South African public holidays. Items will be delivered between 3 (three) and 5 (five) working days within a 50km radius of Johannesburg subject to unexpected delays. Deliveries to outlying areas will attract an additional surcharge that will be calculated on checkout. In the event of unavoidable delays that will result in delivery times being exceeded, a client will be notified via email or telephonically.
• Deliveries will only be made to those delivery addresses as set up in the registration process and no exception to that policy will be made. Please ensure that an authorized representative is available to accept deliveries at the delivery address and that appropriate access will be possible in the event of a secure access controlled location or security estate. Simply School will require an authorized representative to sign and print their name on a duplicate copy of the delivery note, to accept receipt and conditions of delivery. Please note that all deliveries have been outsourced and accordingly, Simply School cannot, to the extent as permitted by law, be liable for any damages suffered or loss incurred by reasons of any acts or omission of the courier.
• Simply School cannot guarantee availability of stock but will endeavor to source stock where possible to fulfill orders. Where items cannot be delivered, Simply School will endeavor to contact the customer based on the information provided at registration and offer either the option to cancel the order or provide an alternative product if applicable. If Simply School is unable to supply each and every item ordered or in the quantities ordered and cannot contact the customer, the customer nevertheless agrees to accept delivery and make payment for the items correctly delivered.
• Delivery of the ordered product will constitute acceptance of your order and serve as proof of payment by Simply School, irrespective of any payment confirmation that was previously communicated.

Pick-up or Collection

• Orders can be placed online and collected from the physical store if preferred. To collect products, place an order online as normal, but select the “store collection” option instead of confirming delivery details. This will ensure that no delivery fee will be charged. A valid proof of identity (SA ID or SA driver’s license) is required and a copy of the collection note is to be presented when collecting.

Refund & Exchange Policy

• Key to the service offered via this online store is for clients to be happy with their purchases, and if not completely satisfied, products can be returned to either be repaired (where applicable), replaced, or a credit passed on the account, subject to terms and conditions as set out herein.
