Ordering & Quotes
How do I get a quote for my school?
Contact us with your school’s furniture needs — even a rough list or a floor plan is enough to start. We’ll follow up with a detailed, itemised quote covering products, quantities and delivery.
Do you work with SGBs and government procurement?
Yes. We regularly work with School Governing Bodies, administrators and procurement committees, and can provide the documentation and quotations your school’s purchasing process needs.
Is there a minimum order size?
No set minimum — we supply everything from a single classroom’s worth of desks to full campus fit-outs. Get in touch and we’ll size a proposal to your project.
Delivery & Installation
Do you deliver across South Africa?
Yes, we deliver nationwide across all nine provinces. Delivery timelines vary by location and order size — ask us for an estimate specific to your school.
Do you install furniture on site?
Yes, our team can deliver and install furniture on site, helping minimise disruption to the school day.
Can deliveries be phased across a budget year?
Yes. Many schools split larger furniture projects across terms or budget cycles — we can plan delivery in phases to match your procurement timeline.
Customisation & Materials
Can furniture be customised to our school’s branding?
In many cases, yes — talk to us about finish, colour and branding options for your order.
Can desks and chairs be sized for different grades?
Yes, our classroom furniture is available in sizing suited to different age groups, from Foundation Phase through to FET.
What materials do you use?
Our ranges combine steel-frame construction with durable wood, laminate or moulded tops and seats, selected for daily school use rather than light domestic use.
Payment & Support
Do you offer accounts or payment terms for schools?
We can discuss payment terms as part of your quote, particularly for larger or phased orders — talk to our team about what works for your school’s budgeting process.
What after-sales support do you offer?
We stand behind what we supply — if you need replacement parts, repairs or additional stock down the line, get in touch and we’ll assist.
Is Ushapo B-BBEE accredited?
Yes, Ushapo is a B-BBEE accredited South African supplier — relevant documentation is available on request for procurement purposes.
