Terms Of Service

Pricing

All prices on our Online Store are inclusive of VAT at 15%.

Paper Packaging Place endeavours to offer competitive prices on current products. Your total order price will include the purchase price of the products ordered, VAT where applicable, and shipping charges calculated at checkout or at the time of processing.

Paper Packaging Place reserves the right to change pricing at any time without prior notice.

Payment Options

Credit Card

We accept MasterCard and Visa credit cards, with the exception of American Express. If you do not have a credit card, please make use of one of the other payment options available, or log off and return to the site at a later stage to complete your order. All of your order details will be saved online under the Your Account section for use whenever you are ready.

EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer)

EFT is one of the most widely used ways of sending money online. Once you have added enough items to your shopping cart, proceed to Checkout and follow the order processing instructions. Select the option to pay via EFT. You will then need to use the banking details provided at checkout or on your invoice and use your unique order number as the payment reference. This will assist in ensuring speedy processing and delivery of your selected products.

Direct Deposit

You may also pay for your products via direct deposit. This is similar to an EFT payment, except that payment is made physically at your bank. Please email your proof of payment to nelly@paperpackagingplace.com to ensure your payment is confirmed and your order is shipped as quickly as possible.

Delivery and Lead Times

Delivery times for stock items are subject to availability. While Paper Packaging Place endeavours to keep stock items available for immediate supply, certain items may at times be placed on backorder where replacement stock is already on order. Estimated lead times for such items will be advised once confirmed.

Lead times for custom-made, printed, branded, or special-order packaging will be specified on the quotation and/or order confirmation applicable to that order.

Any delivery dates or lead times provided by Paper Packaging Place are estimates only and, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, are not guaranteed.

Product Images and Colour Representation

Paper Packaging Place makes every effort to ensure that product photographs, images, colours, descriptions, and other product information shown on the Website are as accurate as possible.

However, actual products may vary slightly from the images displayed on the Website due to factors such as lighting, photography, screen settings, printing processes, material batches, and manufacturing variations.

Such variations shall not constitute a defect and shall not be grounds for return, refund, or cancellation, unless the product supplied is materially different from what was ordered.

Returns and Non-Returnable Items

Paper Packaging Place will only accept returns in accordance with applicable South African consumer law.

Please note that custom-made packaging, printed or branded items, and special-order products made specifically to customer requirements are not eligible for return or refund, unless such goods are defective, damaged, unsafe, or were supplied incorrectly by Paper Packaging Place.

Because these items are produced specifically to customer requirements, customers are responsible for checking all specifications, quantities, colours, sizes, and approved artwork carefully before confirming their order.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights a customer may have under applicable South African consumer law.

Custom Orders, Deposits, Artwork Approval and Cancellation

In the case of custom-made, printed, branded, or special-order packaging, production will only commence once Paper Packaging Place has received the required deposit, being 75% of the quoted order value, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The applicable lead time for each custom order will be specified on the quotation and/or order confirmation.

It is the customer’s responsibility to review and approve all artwork, proofs, specifications, quantities, colours, dimensions, spelling, layout, and other order details before final approval is given.

Once artwork or production proofs have been approved by the customer, Paper Packaging Place shall not be liable for any errors, omissions, spelling mistakes, layout issues, or other defects contained in the approved artwork or proof.

Custom-made, printed, branded, and special-order products are produced specifically to customer requirements. Once an order has been finalised and Paper Packaging Place has proceeded with artwork, layout, proofing, or any pre-production process, the order may not be cancelled, amended, returned, or refunded, except where required by applicable South African law.

Quantity Tolerance

In respect of custom-made, printed, branded, or specially manufactured orders only, the customer agrees to accept delivery as complete and satisfactory where the quantity supplied does not exceed or fall short of the quantity ordered by more than 10%.

Any such variation shall be deemed acceptable and the invoice value may be adjusted pro rata to reflect the actual quantity supplied.

This tolerance is recognised as an industry-standard manufacturing variance and shall not constitute incomplete or defective delivery.
