- Changing the delivery address
The delivery address cannot be changed once the deposit and/or full payment has been received.
The delivery address may be changed before the application is finalised, and before the quote has been accepted. The address may also be changed for future orders.
- Items not in stock
Our aim is to provide all the items ordered (per learner) simultaneously. Unfortunately, stockouts may occasionally occur. In the event that certain items are not in stock, your package will be held back until the stock is received. Your full package will, however, never be held back for more than seven (7) working days. Your order will, therefore, be partially processed and dispatched as more than one parcel. The items not included in your package will show as ‘back order’ items on the delivery note. The lead time for the missing items will depend on the supplier’s printing schedule. Please note: this is conditional.
- Items missing from an order
It is your responsibility to check carefully that all items (as per the delivery note) have been delivered to you. Should you notice that an item has not been delivered, please notify us within seven (7) days by sending an email to info@mindscapeeducation.co.za , clearly stating the student number and the missing item codes as per the delivery note.
