Orders & delivery
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free on orders of R9,500 or more, anywhere in South Africa. Below that it is a flat R150. For express or next-day delivery, please contact us directly.
How long does delivery take?
Orders placed before 2pm on a business day are processed and dispatched within 24 hours. After dispatch, delivery usually takes 3 to 5 working days depending on your area, provided there are no courier delays. Orders paid on a weekend or public holiday go out the next business day.
Do you deliver everywhere in South Africa?
Yes. We deliver within South Africa, and free delivery over R9,500 has no exclusions. We do not deliver outside the country.
How will I know where my parcel is?
We send a tracking number by email or WhatsApp as soon as your order is handed to the courier. You can also use order tracking with your order number and email address.
Can I collect my order?
Yes, collection is free from our main Johannesburg branch at Stellar Mall. Bring your order number; no ID is needed. Collection is not available at our other stores.
What happens if my delivery fails?
The courier makes up to three delivery attempts. After that the parcel returns to us, we investigate, and we arrange redelivery at no further fee.
Warranty & returns
How long is the warranty?
Every product carries a 12-month hardware warranty, counted from the date of your invoice. If a hardware fault develops under normal use we repair or replace the product.
What does the warranty cover?
Core hardware faults (motherboard, processor, memory, storage, screen, keyboard, trackpad and ports), the battery if it fails to hold a charge during the warranty period, operating system installation and activation issues, and power adapters supplied in the box.
What is not covered?
Accidental damage such as drops, cracks and liquid spills, cosmetic wear and tear after purchase, unauthorised repairs or modifications, and software problems caused by user-installed apps, viruses or tampering.
How do I make a warranty claim?
Email us, message us on WhatsApp Business or visit a store. Send your proof of purchase and a description of the fault, and tell us the reason for the claim, your purchase date and whether it is within warranty. We give you a claim number to track it. If the product must come back to us we arrange the courier and cover the cost for covered faults, and units are inspected at our Johannesburg service centre.
Can I return something I bought online?
Yes. You can return an online order within 7 days of delivery for a full refund, as long as it is in its original condition and packaging with everything that came in the box. Texperts arranges the collection, and the collection cost is deducted from your refund. Upgrades made to your specification are not eligible.
What if my product does not work when it arrives?
Tell us within 7 days of delivery and we will replace it or refund you in full, including delivery.
Products & grades
What does “refurbished” mean at Texperts?
Every unit is tested (hardware, battery, ports and performance), its storage is replaced or securely erased, the operating system is reinstalled and updated, and the unit is cleaned and detailed before it ships with a Texperts warranty.
What is the difference between Grade A and Grade B?
Grade A products are in excellent condition with minimal cosmetic wear. Grade B products have cosmetic issues only, such as light wear and small scuffs, and are fully working. Both grades carry the same warranty.
Do the photos show the exact unit I will receive?
Photos show the model, not the exact unit. The cosmetic condition of the unit you receive will match the grade you ordered.
What comes in the box?
Laptops come with their charger. Anything else that ships with a product is listed on its page.
Which brands do you sell?
We sell business-class Dell, HP and Lenovo laptops and desktops, with more brands to follow.
Can you upgrade the RAM or storage?
Yes. We do not build computers from scratch, but we can upgrade the RAM and storage on your machine and help with office installation. Request a quote.
Payments & prices
Do prices include VAT?
Prices are in South African rand (ZAR) and include VAT unless stated otherwise.
How can I pay?
You can pay by card and Instant EFT through PayFast, or by bank transfer (EFT). Payment terms on credit are coming soon.
Is checkout secure?
Yes. We never store your card details. Card and Instant EFT payments are handled by PayFast.
Do you do bulk orders?
Bulk orders are available on Grade B laptops. We send you a quote, you confirm it, and we then quote the bulk shipping. Bulk orders are delivered in stock boxes, safely packed.
What if a price on the website is wrong?
We work hard to keep prices accurate, but errors can occur. If a price is shown incorrectly we may correct it and offer you the choice of ordering at the right price or cancelling for a full refund.
