Frequently Asked Questions
Action Gear is not merely an online shop but offers product expert advice and support on the use and enhancement of outdoor tech products.
How do I buy something on www.actiongear.co.za?
There are 3 ways to purchase with Action Gear. Firstly on the website where you can add any product to your shopping cart after which you can then check out, put your details in the required fields and pay either with your credit card or an EFT. Please email your proof of payment to pop@actiongear.co.za when paying via EFT.
The second method is to call one of the sales executives on 011 781 1323 who will gladly assist in taking your order. If you would like to pay by credit card then we will email you a secure link to our payment gateway, alternatively we can send you a quote in order for you to process an EFT payment. Please email your proof of payment to the sales executive who sent you the quotation.
The third method is by chatting to a sales executive on the live chat feature where we will help you with your order and complete it by sending you a quotation or guiding you through the process of ordering on the website.
We accept Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards for payment. We are also partnered with Discovery to accept Discovery Miles as payment.
Are my credit card details safe?
Yes. No credit card details are saved and no one will see what your credit card details are. If we take a credit card payment over the phone it is done through our secure backend and the details are not saved or written down at all. We offer 100% security for your online transactions, by using a 128-bit encrypted secure server. We have not had a single case of online credit card fraud reported to us, and this will continue to be the case.
Do I have to register an account and set up a password?
No, there is no necessity to do so as you can check out as a guest.The advantage however of setting up an account is that you can save items to your cart and it will still be there when you log in again. You also won't have to input all your delivery details each time if you have an account.
How long will my order take to arrive?
On each product page it shows whether the item is kept in our Randburg offices or in our warehouse. If it is in Randburg then delivery is within 1 - 3 days but if it is kept in our warehouse then please allow 5 days for delivery.
Once your order has been paid for it will take a day to be delivered if you live in a major city and it will take 2 days if you live outside a major city in a more remote location. If you order and pay for your products before 15h, your package will be dispatched the same day. For unusually heavy items, delivery may take an extra day or so, so please contact us if you have an urgent order in such cases.
Once you have created an order your details will be securely stored so we can contact you about your delivery if need be. If you need something by guaranteed next day delivery then please select this option when in the checkout process or contact us.

Can I return a product?
We believe that you will be 100% satisfied with your product, but occasionally you may need to return an item. You can cancel your order and return it to us within 30 days of the purchase date if it is in its original condition, completely unused, and suitable for resale. You will be responsible for the item or items until they reach us, and we suggest that you use a secure delivery method (which requires a signature upon delivery).
Refunds are made within a week of an order being cancelled and the goods having been returned to us along with the original receipt.
In the case of faulty goods we guarantee all items for a period of 12 months from the purchase date. Our warranty covers all manufacturing defects and does not cover faults arising from poor/improper use. Goods found to be faulty can only be exchanged for the same product and cannot be refunded.
