GETTING STARTED

lootadeal sells products on the website, but it also allows third-party seller to sell their products on the website. Buying from a Third Party Seller is easy:
Lootadeal will indicate on the relevant product pages when products are for sale by a Third Party Seller. Buying products from Third Party Sellers works exactly the same as buying lootadeal products. You can simply add the products to your shopping cart and proceed through checkout using any of lootadeal’s available payment methods.
Products sold by Third Party Sellers qualify for the same delivery options as products ordered from lootadeal.
Customer Service and Returns will also be handled by lootadeal as per our policies for at least 6 months after delivery – so no need to worry about conflicting return rules.
PAYMENT INFORMATION
You can pay on the site using a credit, debit card or via PayPal if it is available in your region. If you select to pay with a card, you can pay with Visa, Mastercard, Diners, Discover, and American Express (available for USD only).
Payment can also be made via Gift Certificate, however, Gift Certificates are only issued for marketing purposes and cannot be purchased as yet.
You will be charged when your order has been verified and approved.
The payment process happens in two stages; the first step is an authorization, which is a temporary hold of funds on your credit/ debit card, when you purchase a product using card payment, the bank will ‘hold’ money on behalf of lootadeal to ensure there will enough funds to be charged when the order is confirmed. This may reflect as a transaction on your account but at this stage, no funds have been taken from your account.
The second stage of the payment is when the funds are transferred from your account. These steps usually happen within minutes of each other. However, if your order is not verified and approved, the funds will not be transferred from your account and the hold will be reversed after 48 hours. If this happens, you will receive an email updating you that your order has not been successful and no money has been transferred.
When an item is marked ‘Eligible for Cash on Delivery’ on a product page, it means you can pay for this item with cash when your driver delivers your goods.
Important: Currently we only accept cash payments when the Cash on Delivery (COD) option is selected. Credit & Debit Card or any other digital payments won’t be accepted on delivery.
If your whole order is eligible for COD, it will be displayed as a payment option for you to select at checkout. Then make sure you have the exact amount of cash ready for our friendly delivery driver when he arrives.
We can’t offer COD for every order. If you get to the checkout and COD is NOT listed as a payment option, unfortunately, your order doesn’t qualify.
We don’t offer COD for any orders that:
- include digital products (e.g. eBooks, gift vouchers or airtime)
- include customised products (e.g. a sports shirt printed with a personalised name)
- a total of $25 or more
If COD isn’t available for you, don’t worry. There are lots of other 100% secure and easy ways to pay, including EFT & debit cards.
