BUCO Mthatha Contact Details

BUCO Mthatha trading hours
| Branch | Monday to Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Progress Street | 07:00 to 17:30 | 07:00 to 17:00 | 08:00 to 15:00 | Closed |
| Elliot Street | 07:30 to 17:30 | 07:30 to 17:00 | 08:00 to 15:00 | Closed |
Progress Street opens half an hour earlier on weekdays, at 07:00 against 07:30, and runs to 17:30 from Monday to Thursday and 17:00 on Friday. Elliot Street keeps the same closing times but starts at 07:30. Both trade on Saturday from 08:00 to 15:00 and both are closed on Sunday, so neither is an option for a Sunday job.
The two carry different postal codes even though both are in Mthatha, which is a useful way to check you have the right one on a delivery note or an account application.
What each BUCO Mthatha branch offers
This is where the branches diverge, and it is the reason to read before you drive. Progress Street offers Insta Cupboard, paint mixing and tinting, Pensioners Wednesdays, buyouts, delivery and financial services. Elliot Street offers Insta Cupboard, Pensioners Wednesdays and buyouts only.
So if you need materials delivered to a site, or paint mixed to a colour, or an account, Progress Street is the branch. Elliot Street is a counter and collection store. Both run buyouts, which means the branch will source an item it does not stock rather than turning you away, and that is worth asking about before you drive to the other one.
As at other BUCO branches, the email addresses published against these two stores belong to individual staff members rather than to the stores themselves. They are not listed here, because a personal work address stops working when that person leaves. Telephone the branch and ask where to send anything you need in writing.
Accounts, credit and who regulates BUCO
Both stores are BUCO branches within The Building Company group. Where a branch offers financial services, that means credit, and a credit agreement is regulated: the National Credit Act requires an affordability assessment before an account is granted, and the National Credit Regulator on 0860 627 627 handles complaints about reckless lending or about how an account was administered. Complaints about goods or service quality go instead to the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud on 0860 000 272.
