- Trade terms
Terms written for the counter, not the boardroom.
We supply the trade only, so everything from pricing to collection is set up around how a spares shop or workshop actually runs.
The short version
Browse freely. Sign in for your prices. Send an order and the sales desk confirms it by email. Collect in Amalgam or ask about delivery.
- Who we supply
- Registered spares shops, workshops, fleet operators, fitment centres and distributors. We do not sell to private individuals; ask us for your nearest stockist instead.
- Pricing
- All prices are ex VAT and shown in rand. Trade prices appear once you sign in and are confirmed on the sales desk's order acknowledgement.Brochure prices are indicative and valid for the period printed on the brochure, or while stocks last. E&OE.
- Stock
- Availability on this site comes straight from our stock system. "In stock" and "Low stock" reflect the current position; account holders see exact quantities. Lines marked "Check availability" are not yet on the live feed and are confirmed on order.
- Orders
- An order sent from this site is an enquiry, not a payment. You receive a reference number by email, and the sales desk replies with confirmed pricing, availability and a delivery or collection time.

- Credit facilities are subject to application and approval. New customers trade on EFT before dispatch while an application is assessed. Ask the sales desk for the credit application form.
- Collection and delivery
- Collect from Hikari JHB, 6 Lathe Street, Amalgam, Johannesburg, during counter hours. Delivery options and charges for your area are confirmed by the sales desk when you order.
- Returns and warranty

Common questions
Do I need an account to see prices?
Yes. The catalogue and stock status are open to everyone, but trade prices are shown only to signed-in account holders. Apply on the site and one of the team calls you back.
Can I order with OE or competitor part numbers?
Search first; many descriptions carry the manufacturer's number. If nothing comes up, send the list to the sales desk and we cross-reference it for you.
Is the order sent from the site binding?
It is an order enquiry. Nothing is charged online. The sales desk confirms every line, price and quantity by email before anything is picked.
Where do the stock figures come from?
From the same stock system the counter uses, per warehouse. Figures update as stock moves, so a line can sell out between viewing and ordering; the sales desk confirms on acknowledgement.
