FAQs
1. Where are your products made?
Most of the high-quality products at FarmShop are sourced from Europe. Some of our key partners include SaMASZ, Düvelsdorf, Jolt, Kinghitter, Fischer, Cashels and more.
2. What’s the discount?
This will vary depending on the product, but with Jolt fencing equipment you’ll get a discount for buying in bulk. With machinery, our discounts are highly competitive! We remove the middleman offering the savings back to you.

3. What’s the warranty?
Warranties will vary according to the machine, generally from 1 year to 6 years. But as a rule of thumb, most of our automation warranties cover any defects in manufacture and the main driveline. Worn parts are not covered. Warranties exist no further than those provided under the manufacturers or producers of the imported machinery. At the time of purchase we can discuss the details.

We strongly recommend you plan ahead for machinery orders. If we do not have something in stock, please allow up to 8 months. Talk to us early about your requirements or indent orders.
5. What is direct imports?
Direct importing is our way to pass on value for money straight to you. Our products are sourced directly from the manufacturer, wiping out unnecessary ‘middleman’ costs – keeping the process direct from factory to farm.
