YDA Recommendations for receiving your new purchases.

Please take time to read these guidelines. They are designed to safeguard all parties in the unlikely event of delayed delivery or goods damaged in transit.

Make sure someone is available on the day of delivery.
Have a dry & clear space available for the product to be stored.

When receiving your delivery, please check all items with the driver to ensure everything on the delivery note has arrived.

Incorrect & visually damaged items should be returned with the driver immediately, marking the delivery note accordingly.

We are unable to accept shortage or damage claims received more than 2 days after delivery. For any items not reported to us within this time frame will need to be reordered & delivery costs, as well as admin charges, will be passed directly onto the customer.

Late notification is likely to delay installation for which we cannot be held accountable.

Under no circumstances should you remove your existing parts until you have checked all components thoroughly.

It’s important these guidelines are followed as claims for inconvenience & re-installation costs will not be accepted.

Research shows that over 90% of complaints regarding product failure are due to installer or handling errors.
