NON-STOCKED / INDENT ITEMS
Products marked as “Indent” or not included in our website or catalogue are not stocked by RFMA and may have minimum order quantities or minimum line values applied to orders. Such items are intent items and require an irrevocable order.

EXPORT ORDERS

DELIVERY
In order to keep freight cost as low as possible, RFMA uses primarily Express Post for all deliveries that fit within a 3Kg satchel. RFMA have negotiated freight rates with TNT Express where the weight exceeds 3Kgs or is requested by the Customer. RFMA reserves the right to charge the freight cost to the Customer unless other arrangements have been pre-arranged. RFMA uses these preferred carriers unless specifically requested by the Customer. If the Customer requests a specific carrier, we cannot guarantee access to the despatch dock without prior notice. All freight costs for specific carriers cannot be prepaid; they must be “Freight Collect”. For “Freight Collect”, insurance responsibility for the products passes to the Customer once product has been passed to their carrier. Where RFMA are unable to supply a complete order from stock, this charge will only apply to the original despatch. All subsequent shipments to complete the order will be sent freight free.
INSPECTION, DEFECTS AND NON-DELIVERY
The Customer must inspect the products as soon as is reasonably possible after delivery and RFMA shall not be liable for any defect in the products or shortages in delivery unless written notice is given to RFMA within 7 days of delivery. In the case of non-delivery, the Customer must notify RFMA immediately the invoice is received, otherwise no liability can be accepted. Any liability of RFMA for non-delivery or defective products shall be limited to, at RFMAs’ discretion, replacing or repairing the products within a reasonable time or to refund any monies already paid in respect to the products. The Customer accepts liability for all freight costs incurred in the return of products including warranty repair or replacement of faulty goods without exception.
