Your order, step by step

From your first enquiry to your delivery.

Each order has its own product, stock and delivery requirements. Here’s how we keep the process organised and help you understand what happens next.

ZDI ordering process overview
Your ordering journey at a glance. The steps below explain stock confirmation, payment and delivery.
  1. 01

    Send Your Requirements

    Browse our products, then email or WhatsApp your list. Include quantities, sizes, colours, specifications and your delivery address.

  2. 02

    Review Your Quote

    Our team prepares your quotation. Once you accept it or submit a purchase order, we check availability and confirm lead times before issuing your pro forma invoice.

  3. 03

    Check & Pay

    Review every detail on your pro forma invoice and follow the payment instructions provided. Full payment must be confirmed before processing starts.

  4. 04

    We Process Your Order

    Available stock is prepared for dispatch. Supplier-order items are sourced according to the confirmed requirements and applicable lead times.

  5. 05

    Dispatch & Delivery

    Your order is dispatched through DPD Laser. Tracking details are emailed so you can follow your parcel’s progress.

A quote is the starting point. Please wait for stock and lead-time confirmation and your pro forma invoice before making payment.

Help us quote accurately

A little detail makes a big difference.

A complete enquiry helps us identify the right products and reduces follow-up questions.

Not sure of the product code? Send a product link, name or clear description. Tell us about any required specifications so our team can review your request.

For bulk orders, include your quantities per size and colour, delivery destination and any required date. We’ll review availability, applicable quantity pricing and estimated timing.

Availability & timing

Know what to expect before you pay.

Not every product, size or quantity listed online is held in stock. Some items are available from stock; others need to be ordered from suppliers.

In-stock products

Where all items are in stock, dispatch typically occurs within 72 hours after payment confirmation. Ask our team how this applies to your order and required date.

Supplier & special orders

Timing depends on the brand, product and supplier availability. Some footwear and out-of-stock items have longer lead times. Ask us to confirm the estimate for your specific items before payment.

Courier transit

Allow an estimated 2–5 working days after dispatch, depending on your destination. Courier transit is additional to order processing and supplier lead times. No weekend deliveries.

Supplier lead-time guidance from our Terms of Sale
Product / brand Estimated timing
Dromex, where sizes are short 3–7 working days
Pioneer 3–5 working days, subject to availability
Rebel, Wayne, Bova, Profit, LeMaitre, SISI, Frams, Kaliber and corporate wear Availability-based; confirm before payment
Manufactured products Confirmed per order; factory backlogs may affect timing
Backorders: If stock is unavailable, we’ll advise the estimated lead time. Orders with backordered items are dispatched once the full order is available. Multiple parcels may still be used because of stock locations and packaging.
Working days and estimated dates: Lead times are estimates, not guaranteed delivery dates. If you have a deadline, tell us when requesting your quote so our team can assess whether the timing is suitable.

Payment & order checks

Check the details. Then confirm your order.

Before paying, check your products, quantities, sizes, colours, specifications, delivery address and agreed lead times on the pro forma invoice.

Do not pay on a quotation. Request your pro forma invoice first. EFT is preferred; Payfast, Payflex and Yoco payment links are also available. Email proof of payment to our team. Processing requires confirmed full payment, not only a payment notification.

For payment or invoice enquiries, email [email protected] and include the relevant reference.

Nationwide delivery

From our dispatch team to your door.

We partner with DPD Laser to deliver across South Africa. Include your full address when requesting a quotation so we can calculate delivery for your order.

Courier charges depend on your delivery location and the cartons required. Delivery is charged separately; please review the total on your quotation before proceeding. Urgent overnight options may be available subject to stock and courier confirmation. Request these before paying.

If you would like transport insurance, ask our team about the available cover, cost and conditions before confirming your order.

Secure, arranged collections

Please arrange collection before you travel.

ZDI operates as a wholesaler, with controlled stock handling and dispatch. We do not operate a walk-in retail store or accept unannounced warehouse visits.

Why visits are controlled

Scheduled access protects our staff, customers and stock, reduces security risks and keeps picking and dispatch running smoothly. Warehouse addresses are not advertised publicly.

Orders above R10,000

Limited own collection is available only for orders above R10,000, after processing and written confirmation. Smaller orders are supplied by delivery. Confirm eligibility if your order is exactly R10,000.

Wait for written confirmation

Our team will confirm your approved collection point and tell you when your order is ready. Bring ID and your order number. Please wait for written confirmation before travelling or sending a driver.

Secure depot collections

We also work with a secured DPD Laser warehouse depot to support stock logistics and arranged collections. The collection point depends on your order and will be provided directly once approved.

Sales office collections

Where specifically arranged and confirmed in writing, collection is also available at our sales office at 1 Bentel Avenue, Eastlands Office Park, Boksburg . Reception colleagues Pulesa or Lyrene will assist with the agreed handover.

Our sales team works across order coordination and fulfilment, so please arrange assistance in advance rather than arriving to meet a sales consultant.

Please do not arrive without an appointment or readiness confirmation. Arranged handovers help us serve each customer efficiently while keeping stock and dispatch areas secure.

Know before you order

The details that keep procurement clear.

Review the practical points below before payment. For the full conditions, read our Terms of Sale and confirm any questions with our team.

Before payment: pricing, VAT and invoice validity

Quotes are valid until their stated expiry date. Our Terms of Sale state that pro forma pricing is valid for two days and may change with supplier adjustments. Check the invoice’s validity, VAT breakdown and full total before paying. Request clarification if anything is unclear. For a bank confirmation letter, email [email protected]. Use the banking details on your current official invoice.

Official order details and changes

We process the details on the official sales order. Check sizes, quantities, brands, colours and delivery details carefully. An emailed change must be reflected on the revised official order before it can be processed. Changes after payment may require cancellation, credit and re-invoicing, with delays and applicable handling fees.

Cancellations and applicable charges

The supplied Terms of Sale state that orders over R5,000 excluding VAT cancelled before dispatch attract a 15% handling and administration fee. After collection, return courier charges and handling fees of up to 30% may apply. Contact sales before requesting a cancellation so the team can confirm the applicable status, charges and terms.

Collection readiness and collection window

Collection requires written approval, ID and the order number. The supplied terms specify collection within 72 hours; uncollected orders may be returned with a 30% handling fee. Confirm the collection deadline and approved point in your readiness notification. Please do not send a driver until your order is ready.

Delivery checks, missing items and partial parcels

Check goods promptly on arrival. Report incorrect, damaged or missing items immediately and do not use affected products. Send your invoice reference and supporting photographs. Some orders arrive in multiple parcels; allow 24 hours for partial deliveries and check the tracking information. Our team may review dispatch footage and consult the courier. Ask the team to confirm the applicable reporting deadline in writing.

Returns: get approval before sending anything

Contact us to log the return and obtain authorization and a return reference. Eligibility depends on the item, reason and applicable terms. Keep goods unused with tags, accessories and original packaging intact. Do not drop off returns in person. Correctly supplied goods may attract handling fees up to 30% and courier charges where a return is approved. Card transaction fee deductions are addressed in the full Terms of Sale.

Products with return restrictions

The supplied terms list memory sticks and electronics, buy-out items such as Barron products, branded or specially taped workwear, special customer orders, budget footwear, discontinued or clearance goods, and items requiring assembly or consolidation as restricted categories. Confirm return eligibility before ordering. Report defects or incorrect supply promptly for assessment under the applicable terms.

Return collection, evaluation and refunds

Email us first. Approved returns are logged for DPD Laser collection with a waybill. Pack securely in the smallest suitable carton, including all accessories; loose goods or damaged packaging can affect acceptance. Evaluation takes an estimated 2–5 working days after receipt. Approved replacements are processed as a new order with applicable courier charges. Refunds are processed within an estimated 7–14 working days after evaluation. Send your banking details when the credit note is issued. Rejected returns may incur both courier trips.

Sizing: confirm UK footwear sizes and suit sets

Specify footwear in UK sizes. Size conversion assistance does not replace checking the ordered size, and fit varies by brand. Conti suit sets are ordered by jacket size, with pants typically two sizes smaller; check the exact product’s size chart and set combination before payment. Request a specification sheet or sample when needed.

Product images, pack quantities and suitability

Colours and product appearance can differ from screen images or change with manufacturer updates. Confirm critical specifications before ordering. The terms describe machine-made pack count variations of up to 4%, with verified shortages credited or refunded. ZDI is a distributor; choose products suitable for the work application and request specification sheets or samples where needed.

Defective products and manufacturer assessment

Report suspected defects and describe how the product was used. Products are assessed before a credit or replacement is approved. The supplied terms include supplier-dependent warranty restrictions and specific limitations for budget footwear, garments and footwear. Request the applicable product warranty information before buying; do not assume a general durability guarantee.

Transit insurance and third-party transport

Transport insurance is available on request; obtain the cover, cost and conditions before dispatch. The full terms set out transit risk and liability conditions. ZDI’s courier service is limited to South Africa. For exports or your own freight forwarder, arrange inspection before export and confirm transport responsibility; ZDI does not cover foreign transport or return costs from abroad.

Terms acceptance and the current version

Read the complete Terms of Sale before placing an order. Placing an order acknowledges those terms. Terms may be updated; request the current version from our team. This page explains the process and does not replace the full terms or your confirmed order details.

A few helpful answers

Before you place your order.

Can I place an order over the phone?

Please email or WhatsApp your requirements. Written communication keeps product details, quantities and instructions together and helps prevent misunderstandings. Reception can provide contact guidance, while sales enquiries and orders are handled in writing.

Does a website listing mean an item is in stock?

No. Availability varies by product, size, colour and quantity. Wait for our team to confirm stock and applicable lead times before making payment.

Can I order only one item?

Where the product’s quantity requirements allow it, yes. Some products are sold individually and others in packs or cartons. Delivery charges still apply.

What if I need an order urgently?

Include your required date in your enquiry. Our team can review stock, processing and courier timing. Please obtain confirmation before committing to a deadline.

Can I return or exchange an item?

Return and exchange eligibility depends on the product, reason and applicable terms. Please contact us promptly before sending anything back. Confirm eligibility before ordering, especially for supplier-order products, sizes and branded items. See our Terms of Sale for the applicable conditions.

How do I follow up on my order?

Reply to your existing email or WhatsApp conversation and include your quote, order or invoice reference. For delivery enquiries, contact [email protected]; for payment or invoice enquiries, contact [email protected].
