- If the delivery is delayed due to circumstances that are not caused by us, the delivery date will be extended.
Delivery & packaging
- All transport damage can only be claimed with the deliverer (courier).
- If the goods are signed for by the Purchaser the claim lies with the Purchaser, not the Company and cannot be returned for credit.
- It is up to the Purchaser to inspect the items upon delivery into their stores.
- If the Purchaser does not provide specific shipping instructions, then we are entitled to ship the goods in the best manner at our dutiful discretion.
- Partial deliveries are permitted unless otherwise expressed at time of purchase order.

- SheffMed has now included a packaging handling fee of $5.00 per order.
Returns, Defects & Credits
- The Purchaser is obligated to inspect the delivered goods immediately after delivery for material defects, such as quantity, quality and condition. The purchaser is to immediately inform the Company of any defects. If the Purchaser does not inform us immediately of all defects, then the goods are considered to have been accepted by the Purchaser. Visible defects must be noted, and reports must be initiated and immediately forwarded to us.
- We will either repair or replace or credit the defective parts as we deem fit. The complaints are based on proper storage, assembly, handling or misuse of the goods for purposes other than those intended or on ordinary wear and tear, then this does not constitute as a defect.
- If the Purchaser modifies or changes the delivered goods or if it has been modified or repaired by a third party without our prior written consent, then no claims for defect will be accepted.
- Returns of non-defective goods are only accepted into store if we have given prior written consent and issued a return authorisation before being sent to us.

- Custom made products, modified products and discontinued models unless due to warranty will be excluded from return.
- All garments & single use sterile items cannot be returned under any circumstances unless broken in the packet prior to use and the instructions above were followed.
