R.James Hardware was started by Mr James in 1924 and remained in the James family until it was bought by the current owners, Tim Eastwood and Rob Boyd in 1999.
R.James Hardware was a general hardware store, otherwise referred to as a “algemene handelaar” back in the old days, servicing the local DIY market and builders when Wynberg Main Rd was still gravel and deliveries where done by horse and cart.
The shop occupies 2200m2 and as Wynberg has changed we have moved its main entrance from Main Rd Wynberg to Fleming Rd at the back of the building, where you will find a plenty of parking.
It has kept its old school charm but has evolved into a busy, up to date store with up to date delivery vehicles and the latest computerised paint mixing equipment.
Rob and Tim, the owners have many years of building experience and have owned R.James Hardware since 1999. They are both actively involved in the day to day running of the business.
R.James Hardware is a comfortable, engaging shopping experience, where the customer is looked after from the time they arrive and until the goods are loaded.
R.James Hardware delivers to almost all areas quickly and efficiently. Deliveries are divided into zones and are charged accordingly. All vehicles are tracked and delivery times are carefully monitored. All drivers are contactable at all times. Delivery vehicles are 3.5 ton trucks and 1 ton bakkies for small or tight spaces.
Goods bought and returned unused, and in original packaging with in the correct time frame with the relevant invoice, will be refunded in full. This excludes special orders and mixed paint.
