Refund and Returns Policy

Effective Date: 7 July 2026

Last Updated: 7 July 2026

1. Introduction

At Blockhouse, we take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of our furniture. We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase and are committed to resolving any issues fairly, transparently and in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, 68 of 2008 (“CPA”).

This Returns & Refunds Policy applies to all products purchased through the Blockhouse Online Shop and should be read together with our Terms & Conditions, Shipping & Delivery Policy and Privacy Policy.

Please note that this policy applies to products purchased through the Blockhouse Online Shop only and does not apply to Blockhouse Modular Homes.

2. Your Consumer Rights

Nothing contained in this policy limits or excludes any rights that you may have under the Consumer Protection Act or any other applicable South African legislation.

Where the CPA provides greater protection than this policy, the provisions of the CPA shall apply.

3. Return Eligibility

Customers may request the return of eligible in-stock products within 7 calendar days of receiving their order, provided that the item:

  • has not been used;
  • remains in its original condition;
  • is returned in its original packaging where reasonably possible;
  • includes all components, accessories and assembly instructions;
  • is accompanied by valid proof of purchase.

Returns are subject to inspection upon receipt.

4. Made-to-Order Products

Many Blockhouse products are manufactured specifically to customer specifications.

Because these products are custom-made, they cannot be returned or exchanged simply because:

  • you changed your mind;
  • the product is no longer required;
  • you selected the incorrect size, fabric or finish after production commenced.

 

Orders for made-to-order products may only be cancelled before manufacturing has started.

If a made-to-order product is defective, damaged or does not comply with the Consumer Protection Act, Blockhouse will repair, replace or refund the product where legally required.

5. Products That Cannot Be Returned

The following products are generally not eligible for return unless they are defective or required by law:

  • Custom-made furniture
  • Made-to-order products
  • Personalised products
  • Products that have been altered after delivery
  • Products damaged through misuse, neglect or improper assembly
  • Products showing signs of unreasonable wear or abuse
  • Clearance or final-sale items where clearly indicated

 

6. Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Products

Please inspect your order immediately upon delivery.

If you receive a product that is:

  • damaged;
  • defective;
  • incomplete; or
  • incorrect,

please notify Blockhouse within 3 business days of delivery by emailing info@blockhouse.co.za.

Your claim should include:

  • your order number;
  • a description of the issue;
  • clear photographs of the product;
  • photographs of the packaging where applicable.

We will assess the claim and, where appropriate, arrange a repair, replacement or refund in accordance with the CPA.

7. Return Shipping

Where a return is approved because:

  • the incorrect product was supplied;
  • the product arrived damaged;
  • the product is defective; or
  • Blockhouse made an error,

Blockhouse will arrange or cover the reasonable return shipping costs.

Where a customer returns a product for any other approved reason, the customer is responsible for all return shipping costs.

Customers are encouraged to use a tracked and insured shipping method, as Blockhouse cannot accept responsibility for products lost or damaged during return transit.

8. Condition of Returned Products

Returned products must be adequately packaged to prevent damage during transportation.

If returned goods arrive in a condition that prevents them from being resold due to damage, missing parts or unreasonable use, Blockhouse reserves the right to reduce the refund amount where permitted by law.

9. Refunds

Once a returned product has been received and inspected, customers will be advised of the outcome of their return request.

Where a refund is approved, it will generally be processed within 14 business days using the original payment method wherever reasonably possible.

Please note that your financial institution may require additional time before the refund reflects in your account.

10. Late or Missing Refunds

If your refund has not been received after 14 business days, we recommend that you:

  • confirm that the refund has not already been credited to your account;
  • contact your bank or payment provider; and
  • contact Blockhouse if you still require assistance.

 

11. Order Cancellations

In-stock Products

Orders for in-stock products may be cancelled provided they have not yet been dispatched.

Made-to-Order Products

Made-to-order products may only be cancelled before manufacturing has commenced.

Once production has started, cancellation will not be possible because the product is being manufactured specifically for the customer.

12. Refused Deliveries and Returned Shipments

If an order is returned to Blockhouse because:

  • delivery was refused;
  • no authorised person was available to receive the delivery;
  • the customer provided an incorrect delivery address; or
  • the shipment was not collected from the courier,

the customer will be responsible for any additional delivery or return shipping costs before the order can be re-dispatched.

13. Exchanges

Where stock is available, Blockhouse may offer an exchange instead of a refund.

Exchanges are subject to product availability and approval of the return request.

14. How to Request a Return

To request a return, please contact us before returning any products.

  • Your name
  • Order number
  • Contact details
