Refund & returns
Fair, plain-language refunds for every order.
This policy applies to everything bought from Cannabus — online, over WhatsApp, or through a trade account. It works alongside the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008.
Cooling-off period
Change of mind — 5 working days
For distance sales (placed online, by email or over WhatsApp) you may cancel an order in writing within 5 working days of delivery and return the goods for a refund, as provided in the Consumer Protection Act.
- • The goods must be unopened, unused and in their original packaging.
- • Return shipping is at your cost, unless we delivered the wrong item.
- • Refunds are processed to the original payment method within 7–10 business days of us receiving and inspecting the return.
- • Goods made to your specifications (for example, cut-to-length fabric or custom hempcrete quantities) are excluded from change-of-mind returns.
Defective goods
6-month quality warranty
If a product is defective, unsafe or not as described, you may return it within 6 months of delivery for a replacement or full refund — we cover the return shipping.
- • Contact us first so we can assess the fault and issue a return reference.
- • Send photos of the item and packaging where possible; it speeds up the assessment.
- • If a fault appears within 6 months, we presume it existed at delivery unless we can show otherwise.
Damaged in transit
Report shipping damage within 48 hours
Check your parcel on arrival. If something arrived damaged or a parcel is short, tell us within 48 hours of delivery.
- • Keep the box, inner packaging and waybill — the courier may need to inspect them.
- • We will replace or refund damaged items, including shipping costs, once the claim is confirmed with the courier (BobGo or our other partners).
Trade & bulk orders
Hempcrete, fabric and wholesale terms
Bulk and project orders are quoted individually and confirmed in writing. Those orders follow the terms in the quotation.
- • Hempcrete materials and building blocks are batch-tested and non-returnable once delivered to site, unless defective.
- • Fabric orders are supplied to the specification on your quote; verify quantities and colourways on delivery.
- • Wholesale stockists: agreed shelf-life and rotation terms apply as per your trade agreement.
How refunds are paid
Back to the original payment method
Refunds go back the way you paid — PayFast card payment, Instant EFT or bank transfer. We do not refund to a different account.
- • Card payments: 7–10 business days, depending on your bank.
- • EFT: 3–5 business days once we have your bank confirmation.
- • Delivery fees are refunded only where the return is due to our error or a defective item.
Not eligible
What we cannot refund
A few categories are excluded for hygiene, safety or customisation reasons.
- • Opened or used cosmetics and body products, for hygiene reasons.
- • Goods marked "final sale" or supplied free of charge as samples or gifts.
- • Items damaged through misuse, or where care instructions were not followed.
