Non-Refundable Items
Certain items are exempt from being returned:

1. **Electrical Goods**: Due to the sensitive nature of electrical components and the risk of damage through installation or use, we do not offer refunds or exchanges on electrical goods.
   
2. **Perishable/Consumable Items**: Items such as fire extinguishers and other consumables are non-refundable.
   
3. **Air Brake Components**: Given the critical nature of these parts and potential safety issues, air brake components are non-refundable.

If you receive an incorrect item, please contact us immediately at mohammed@fasttrail.co.za. The item must be in the original sealed packaging and in the same condition as received.
