Placing An Order

What size fan should I purchase?

Ceiling-Fan-Sizes

Do I need a longer down-rod?

Downrod-Length

Can I customize my order?

Yes, many of our fans can be tailored to suit your space. That includes a larger diameter for bigger rooms, a different blade and rod colour combination to match your interior, or in some cases a fully custom colour. It is important to note that there is a lead time on special request orders. 

If you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for in our standard range, get in touch with us at info@selectivefans.co.za. with the fan you’re interested in and what you’d like changed, and we’ll let you know what’s possible and what it would involve.

Is there a warranty?

Definitely! We offer a 2-year warranty on parts and a 3-year warranty on the DC motor.

Do you have any retail locations?

While we’re primarily an online store, you can also find our products at select stockists across South Africa, including:

Interested in becoming a stockist? We’d love to hear from you – please email us at info@selectivefans.co.za.

How do I install the fan?

A qualified electrician will be able to install your fan, ceiling fans are hardwired to your home’s electrical supply, so this isn’t a DIY job. Full step-by-step instructions are included in the box for your electrician to follow.

Why are there two rods in the box?

There are two different down rod lengths in the box, 12cm and 25cm. Depending on the height of your ceiling, you can choose which rod will best suit your room. The ceiling fans need 2.3m to clear, and we have additional longer rods up to 3m.

Shipping An Order

What is your shipping policy?

We offer free delivery within South Africa on any order over R5,000. Below that threshold, a delivery charge applies,  you’ll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay.

A few things that don’t qualify for free delivery, even above R5,000: orders placed with a trade discount, orders on sale items, and orders shipped outside South Africa (see International Orders below).

Trade & Delivery

Trade discount orders don’t qualify for free delivery, and delivery within South Africa will incur a charge on these orders.

If you’d rather not pay for delivery, you have two fee-free options: collect your order from our Cape Town location, or arrange your own courier to collect it from us. Either way, there are no hidden or additional charges on local deliveries, what you’re quoted is what you pay.

For All Orders

Once your order is placed, we process it within 1–2 business days. Once it’s on its way, you’ll get a confirmation email with your tracking information so you can follow its progress.

Actual delivery time from there depends on your location which will be communicated accordingly. 

International Orders

We ship internationally. Because international shipping costs vary by destination, we quote these separately rather than showing a flat rate at checkout, get in touch with us directly and we’ll arrange it.

You have two options: collect your order from our Cape Town location, or let us arrange shipping on your behalf. Either way, any import taxes and levies charged in your country are for your account, not ours.

Returns & Exchanges

What is your return/exchange policy?

The short version, pulled from our full returns policy:

  • Damaged or defective item: report it within 10 days of receipt and we’ll send replacement parts or replace the set.
  • Change of mind: you have 7 days from receipt to return an unused item in its original packaging for a refund, minus a 10% handling fee plus courier charges. Once a fan has been installed, it’s no longer eligible for a refund.
  • Return shipping is your responsibility, though we can arrange for our in-house couriers to collect it from you.
  • Items need to come back in resalable condition, anything less can mean a deduction of 20% up to the full refund.
  • Refunds go back via bank transfer or your original payment method once we’ve received the return.
  • Special orders are final; no refunds or exchanges.

For the full terms, see the returns policy page.
