Sample policy

We understand that our clients require samples.

Izipho's sample policy is as follows:

Samples are available for purchase and collection from our office.
Samples with an individual product price of less than R30, excluding VAT, may not be returned.
Samples with an individual product price of R30, excluding VAT or more, may be returned for a refund or credit.
Memory sticks may not be returned for credit. We recommend that you purchase dummy memory stick samples.
Samples must be returned in the original condition as well as original packaging so that a refund/credit can be ensured.
It may take up to a week to carefully check samples that are returned, and once we are satisfied that the samples are fit for resale, we will issue a refund or credit note.
Damage to any part of the sample or packaging will result in samples not being accepted for return.
Most importantly, when you return samples, the original invoice relevant to the samples must accompany the returned goods before a credit note is issued and a refund effected.
EFT refunds are processed every Friday.
All orders need to be paid for and collected within five working days of invoice date, and if not paid and collected within this time, they will be cancelled.

Please make sure that sizing has been established correctly before placing an order with, us, as sets will always be sold according to the above.
We will not accept any returns on “unbranded or branded” workwear items that have had tape specially applied, as these are not ex-stock items. We will only accept returns on workwear items that are held in stock and readily available.
