3. Return Costs

Where a product is defective, incorrect or damaged on arrival, Garden Buzz will handle applicable return costs in accordance with South African consumer-protection law.
4. Defective or Faulty Products
If a product is defective, unsafe or does not meet applicable requirements, customers retain their rights under South African law.
Qualifying defective goods may be returned within the applicable statutory period, including rights provided under the Consumer Protection Act.
Garden Buzz may request photographs, videos or other information to assist with assessing the reported fault.
5. Incorrect or Damaged Deliveries
If you receive an incorrect, damaged or incomplete order, please contact Garden Buzz as soon as reasonably possible.
We will investigate the matter and arrange an appropriate solution where applicable.
6. Products Not Suitable for Standard Returns
Certain products may have specific return conditions due to their nature. This may include live plants, specially prepared or customised products, and products that cannot reasonably be returned.
These conditions do not affect any consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
7. Refunds
Once a returned product has been received and the refund has been approved, Garden Buzz will process the refund within 10 business days.
As Garden Buzz currently accepts EFT / Bank Transfer, refunds will generally be made by electronic funds transfer.
Customers may be required to provide accurate banking details for the refund.
The time taken for the funds to appear in the customer's account may depend on the relevant banking institution.
