How to pay: cash on delivery
There is one way to pay on this site today: you pay the courier at the moment your parcel arrives. This is called cash on delivery.
We do not ask for money up front. We do not ask for your card details. You do not need an online account, an app or a code.
This page covers, in order: how cash on delivery works, how much to have ready, what the courier accepts, which currency you pay in, what we will never ask you for, how we protect your data, and how refunds are paid if you return an item.
Cash on delivery is the only payment method today: how it works
Here is the whole process, from first step to last:
- You fill in the order form on the site with your name, full address, telephone number and email address. There is no card field on the form, because none is needed.
- We call you to confirm the product, the quantity and the address. On that call we tell you the total: the product price, delivery and any cash-on-delivery fee.
- You receive a confirmation email setting out the exact amount to pay the courier. The order only goes ahead once you have accepted that email in writing: the total in that email is the total you will pay, and nothing else.
- We pack and dispatch your parcel within 1-2 business days of the confirmation call. If anything about the address is unclear, we contact you using the details you gave us.
- The courier delivers to your door within 1-3 business days of dispatch and asks you for the amount shown on the label.
- You pay the courier and the parcel is yours. Always ask for a receipt for the payment and keep it with the delivery note.
In practice: your order arrives within 2-5 business days of confirmation and you pay at that point. Handling and delivery times, including the exceptions for certain areas, are explained in our delivery policy.
No other payment method is live: no credit or debit cards, no PayPal and no advance bank transfer. If you see anything stating otherwise elsewhere, this page is the one that applies.
We are working on adding card payments. Until they genuinely work, we will not show them and we will not promise them. When they are live, you will read it here, on this page.
What to have ready: product price, delivery and any cash-on-delivery fee
The amount to have ready is the sum of three items. You see each of them, one by one, before you confirm the order.
| Item | Cost | Where you see it |
|---|---|---|
| Product price | The price shown on the product page | Product page, confirmation call and confirmation email |
| Delivery | EUR 5.90, or free on orders over EUR 39. In Poland and the United Kingdom the equivalent in local currency is shown when you order. | Confirmation call and confirmation email |
| Cash-on-delivery fee | None. Paying on delivery costs you nothing extra. | Confirmation call and confirmation email |
| Total to have ready in cash | The sum of the three items above | Confirmation email and the label on the parcel |
Three rules we always keep to:
- We tell you the total beforehand, not afterwards: on the phone and in writing in the confirmation email. If an item is not in that email, you do not pay it.
- The courier cannot ask you for anything above the amount shown on the parcel label. If that happens, do not pay the difference and email us at info@gadgerz-shoppy.com.
- Prices include VAT where applicable for the delivery country. Any delivery charge is shown separately, as in the table above.
Cash or the courier’s card reader: what the driver accepts
The safe option, and the one that works everywhere, is cash. Have the exact amount ready before the courier arrives.
- Have the right amount ready. The driver may not carry change, particularly for large notes.
- A card reader in the van is not guaranteed. It depends on the courier and the area: not every driver carries a terminal for card payments.
- If you want to pay by card, ask us first. Email info@gadgerz-shoppy.com with your delivery address: we will check with the courier covering your area and reply within 24 business hours.
- We do not accept cheques, vouchers, top-ups to prepaid cards or transfers to personal accounts.
- Always ask for a receipt for what you have paid. It is your proof if anything is disputed later.
If you are not in when the courier calls, the parcel is not lost: redelivery and holding arrangements are explained in our delivery policy.
Currency by delivery country
You pay in cash in the currency of the country where the parcel is delivered. There is no currency conversion to work out and no conversion fee.
| Delivery country | Currency, in full | Code | How the price is written |
|---|---|---|---|
| Italy | euro | EUR | Written, for example, as 49.90 euro |
| Spain | euro | EUR | Written, for example, as 49.90 euro |
| Poland | Polish zloty | PLN | Written, for example, as 199.00 Polish zloty |
| United Kingdom | pound sterling | GBP | Written, for example, as 39.90 pounds sterling |
The price you see on the site in your language is already in the currency you will pay in. We do not recalculate the amount at the point of delivery.
We will never ask for your card details before delivery
This is the most important part of the page. Read it and keep it in mind: it is there to protect you from scams carried out in the name of online shops.
Neither we nor the courier will ever ask you, by phone, email, text message or WhatsApp, for:
- your credit or debit card number;
- the expiry date or the three-digit security code on the back of the card;
- the PIN for your card;
- the one-time codes your bank sends you by text message or in its app;
- the login details for your online banking or your email;
- a bank transfer or a top-up to an account or prepaid card held in an individual’s name;
- an advance payment of any kind to “release”, “clear” or “confirm” a parcel.
If someone asks you for any of these and says they are Gadgerz Shoppy, give them nothing and pay nothing. Email us straight away at info@gadgerz-shoppy.com with the message you received: we will check it and reply within 24 business hours.
Site security: HTTPS on every page and data handled safely
- Every page on this site runs over HTTPS, that is, an encrypted connection. Your browser shows a padlock next to the address: it means what you type into the form is sent protected rather than in the clear.
- Always check the address in the browser bar: it must start with https:// and contain the site name, gadgerz-shoppy.com. An address that looks similar but is not identical is not ours.
- We do not collect or store payment data, because we have no need for it: you pay the courier, not us through the site. There is no card number of yours anywhere in our records.
- We collect only what we need to deliver your parcel: name, address, telephone number and email. We use it for the order, the delivery and customer support. How we handle it, how long we keep it and how to ask us to delete it are explained in our privacy policy.
- Cookies are your choice. You can review or change your choices at any time by reopening the preferences panel from our cookie policy.
How refunds work if you return an item
You paid the courier in cash, so there is no card to credit the money back to. That is why refunds are paid by bank transfer to an account you give us.
- You email us at info@gadgerz-shoppy.com to tell us you want to return the item. You have 14 days from the day after you receive the parcel to exercise your right to cancel. You can use our model cancellation form, but you do not have to.
- We reply within 24 business hours with the return address and instructions for packing the item.
- You send us your bank details for the refund, along with the account holder’s name. Those details are the only banking information we ask you for, and only at this stage.
- You send the item back within 14 days of telling us, with everything that came in the box.
- We refund you by bank transfer. The refund is made within 14 days of the day we receive the item back, or of the day you give us proof that you have sent it back, whichever comes first.
The transfer costs you nothing: we cover the bank charges. We refund the product price and the standard delivery charge you paid. The full conditions, the cases where the right to cancel does not apply and how faulty goods are handled are set out in our refund policy and our terms and conditions. None of this affects your statutory rights: goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described, as required by the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Full details are in our warranty and product safety page.

Payment questions
Do I have to pay anything when I place the order?
No. You pay nothing when you order and you leave no payment details. You pay only when the parcel is at your door.
Can I pay by bank transfer before delivery?
No. We do not accept advance payment in any form. If someone asks you for an advance transfer in our name, it is an attempted scam: please report it to us at info@gadgerz-shoppy.com.
Can I pay the courier by card?
Only if the courier covering your area carries a card reader, and that is not guaranteed. Have cash ready. If you need to pay by card, ask us before you order and we will check for you.
Can I open the parcel before I pay?
No, the courier cannot allow that: payment comes first, then the handover. You can, however, check that the parcel is intact, not wet and not crushed, and refuse the delivery if it is damaged. If you refuse it, you pay nothing; then email us at info@gadgerz-shoppy.com and we will deal with the rest.
What receipt do I get?
The courier gives you a receipt for the amount collected: keep it with your order confirmation email, which sets out the product, the price and the total paid. If you cannot find the email, check your spam folder. If you need an invoice for the purchase, ask us at info@gadgerz-shoppy.com quoting your order number.
What happens if I am not in when the courier calls?
You lose neither the parcel nor any money, because you have not paid anything yet. The rules for redelivery and collection are explained in our delivery policy.
