FAQ's

How to Order

All our orders go through checks and balances to ensure customer satisfaction.
There are three ways to place an order:

  1. Through our internal sales team. Call them on (011) 894-8341 or email them at sales@allbro.com
  2. Using our online ordering system. To see how to use our online ordering system, watch this video. Please note that you will need to have an account with us to use the online ordering system.
  3. Through your sales representative. If you have dealt with Allbro before, contact the sales representative who assisted you previously. Please note that not all customers will have a sales representative assigned to them.

Once an order has been placed, you will receive an order confirmation email.

How do I know my order was successful?

Once an order has been placed, you will receive an order confirmation email. Please read through your order confirmation email to check that the details of your order are correct. If there is something that needs to be amended on your order, please contact our internal sales team here.

The order confirmation email also acts as a Pro-Forma, which you can make payment from. Please ensure that you follow the payment instructions carefully. Once your order is packed and ready, your invoice will be sent to you. This acts as confirmation that your order is ready. For COD customers who pay by EFT, payment must reflect in the Allbro account before your order is released. COD customers who are collecting their order can pay at the collection counter. For details on collection and delivery, please read our shipping policy

How long does it take for my order to be ready?

In stock orders are processed within 48 hours. Orders for items that are not in stock will receive an email within 48 hours informing them of the estimated lead time on their order. Local orders (in the main delivery centres in the Johannesburg area) delivered by our internal delivery team can be processed within 24 hours, with the exception of Pretoria, which receives deliveries on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For more information on your delivery time, please contact our sales team. Outlying areas are subject to a different delivery process: for an extensive breakdown of this, please read our shipping policy. Orders of more than 5 lines will take longer to pack and process than smaller orders.

How do I know my items are in stock?

To check whether or not your items are in stock ahead of placing an order, please contact our internal sales team. If you place an order and some/all of your order items are not in stock, a sales representative will contact you informing you which items are not in stock. An estimated lead time will be sent to you within 48 hours. Partial delivery is available: the invoice on delivery will reflect which items are on back order and still need to be delivered.

What is a COD customer?

COD stands for Cash On Delivery. These are customers who have an account with Allbro without a credit facility. COD customers will need to pay for their orders before receiving them.

How do I become a COD customer?

Contact our sales team here to apply to open an account with us. You will need to provide:

  • Your company name
  • Registration number
  • VAT number
  • Physical and billing address

A company letterhead is a quick and easy way to supply us with all of this information.

How do I open a credit account with Allbro?

Customers wishing to apply for a credit account will need to fill out a credit application form. This can be attained by contacting the sales team and requesting the form.

How long does it take to open a credit account?

  • 1. Credit applications take up to 5 working days to process
  • All of the fields on the form are required fields. Failure to provide any of this information will result in a delay in the application process
  • While customers can request their credit amount, Allbro reserves the right to determine the final credit facility that we will be offering
  • A physical copy of the application form and supporting documents must be sent to Allbro’s postal address. This is in addition to the digital copy that should be sent to Allbro according to the instructions on the application form

How do I order online?

We have a video detailing the online ordering process. Please note that online ordering is only available to customers who have an account with Allbro (both COD and credit account holders).
