quotations for heavy items. You may call us for a
fresh quote where we will quote the prices of your items that you wish to
order as well as phone up the courier service and negotiate a shipping rate
for your specific parcel. You will then have to pay the quote by Internet
transfer. Our banking details are on the Quotation Document that we will
email or fax back to you. Once the funds reflect on our bank statement, we
will immediately courier you parcel and include the original Invoice with

Question:
Which payment options are
available? |
Payments by Cheque Knuth SA (Pty) Ltd does not except Cheque payments. We experienced too many
instances of fraud by cheque payments and decided not to accept this form of
payment. Should you insist payment by cheque, a waiting period is required for clearance of the funds. Shipping will only commence after
funds are cleared by our bank. The bank has to verify if the cheque was stolen
or not.
Internet Banking or Bank Transfers
If you prefer paying by bank transfer (internet Banking), we will ship
immediately after the funds are cleared in our bank. Usually it takes a maximum
of two (2) days. Most transactions are cleared by the next day. We encourage
this type of payment. We might call you to confirm the transaction for your
security. In some cases we might even ship your items for free (depending on
item status), as we save on commissions payable.
Payment by Credit Card over the telephone Knuth SA
(Pty) Ltd does not accept credit card payment over the
telephone. This is to protect you as our customer. We do have a credit card
facility inside our store and we can only process card payment when the
customer is present.
Payment by cash The bank charges us a cash deposit fee when paying by
cash. We will add the value of the cash deposit fee to your invoice.
