I made my first purchase and received a confirmation SMS/Email. What should I do?

Congratulations on your first purchase with phygicart.com. Unless prompted, you need not respond unless called by the Customer Service team or asked to specifically. This is to confirm your order and ensure you are able to track your order with the order ID.

I just sold an item on phygicart.com and received a notification. What should I do?

As a seller on phygicart.com you need to respond immediately to any notification of a sale and confirm orders when prompted. You can view and manage your sales orders from your account and ensure prompt response and dispatching of sold items as soon as it happens. This is a conditional requirement to remain active on phygicart.com and ensure that your store meets the phygicart.com Service standards.

Okay, it’s been 3 to 7 days and I haven’t received my Order yet! Where is it?

3 to 7 business days is the usual timeframe for receiving an item bought on phygicart.com unfortunately however, delays might occur for a variety of reasons, and for that we apologize. Reasons for this could include, but are not limited to; the seller might not be ready to ship the item from their side, there could be unprecedented volumes in delivery from the courier company or other unforeseen delivery schedule issues, and even at times delays from the buyer side such as missed communication to confirm purchase or to schedule a delivery time among other things. Your shipment status is updated under the Airway Bill (AWB) status update, allowing you to track it each step of the way to your door; however as a first step don’t worry your purchase on phygicart.com is secure and it’s our aim to provide you with the best shopping experience and we take your receipt of an item within acceptable timeframes very seriously. Should you have any concerns you can reach our Customer Service Team through the Contact Us page via the inquiry form or Contact Centre (number listed there). We’re always here to help you.

I am still worried! What if my item gets lost?

There’s no need to worry. An item is only considered delivered when we have your signature on the delivery note and the item is in your hands. . For whatever the reason, if an item does get lost you will receive a full refund of your money if you have paid through electronic means (Credit or Debit Card, CashU, other payment cards) and in the event that you chose Cash on Delivery (COD) then you are not liable to make a payment or penalized for a non-delivered item.

I don’t get the difference between a retail item bought from phygicart.com directly and an item bought through Marketplace, what gives?

Phygicart.com is an online shopping platform which supports both individual marketplace sellers as well as retails stores who display and sell their merchandize online via the site. Buyers on the site could also be sellers and vice-versa. Whether you buy from the marketplace or from one of our preferred retailers the service through phygicart.com will be the same. Phygicart.com is the premium and leading eCommerce community in the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA)

If I buy something from the marketplace will my problems with individual sellers be treated differently from buying with the main retailers?

As a phygicart.com Shopper any issues you may face will be handled in exactly the same manner, with full and unconditional support which is your right as a valued and respected customer. All our sellers, Marketplace and Retail have to adhere to the same high standards of service and authenticity of their advertised merchandise. Basically you receive what you have bought according to the advertised item. As always, our Customer Service Team is there to help with any issue or problem faced, and we aim to get any complaint or concern you may have resolved as quickly as possible, and to your satisfaction. Our Customer Services Team are also there to hear from you regardless and we encourage feedback and love to listen and grow our services with your input; remember we can only improve if you provide us with feedback on the service levels you have received. We are there for you, and you can call us or drop us your comments through a host of channels available via the Contact Us page.

Okay, this isn’t what I bought?

Never fear, we will help you in correcting that should this be the case. Also as a phygicart.com shopper you have the right to return an item within three (3) days even if it is the exact same item you have ordered so long as it meets our return policies namely being in the same condition received and with the original packaging intact.

Okay, but what if I decide after three (3) days I don’t want the item, if it was a store, I have up to 30 days, what happens then?

Yes you can - if your item is faulty or not in working condition due to a product defect or not functioning as it is supposed to - then you can still return it and we will arrange a pickup of the item to be returned to the seller and your money refunded. To do so please contact our Customer Service Team through the Contact Us page via the inquiry form or Contact Centre (number listed there) However if there is nothing wrong with the item and you just want to return it, please note that some individual sellers do not accept a product back after the three (3) days have passed although we can contact the seller on your behalf to try and arrange such a return however that is dependent on their acceptance and policies.

I still want the item despite the fault, what happens then?

We can arrange a replacement or even at times an item might be repaired or fixed. To do so please contact our Customer Service Team through the Contact Us page via the inquiry form or Contact Centre (number listed there)

I’ve changed my mind; can I return what I’ve bought?

Yes you can. We want to offer you, our valued customers, and the peace of mind of shopping with us and also we fully understand that sometimes you might change your mind on a bought item, if after making the purchase online and you still have not received the item, you could still cancel your order. If you have paid through electronic means (Credit or Debit card, other payment cards) then the money would be refunded, but due to individual card providers, the amount may take time to reflect in your card statement. If you wish to return the item after receiving it, you have up to three (3) days to do so, so long as the item is in the same condition as received and with the original packaging intact. For phygicart Fashion items you have a little longer to return an item up to fourteen (14) days so long as it is in the same condition received and with the original packaging intact. In all circumstances you can contact the Customer Service Team through the Contact Us page for a return of an item or refunds.

But what if I want to return an item after three (3) days?

If you have filed a complaint within three (3) days then a return is possible after this period. You can either file a complaint or Contact Us through the Inquiry form or Contact Centre (numbers and method available on the Contact Us page of phygicart.com).

Do I get the full amount returned/refunded to me for a Returned item?

Shipping fees will be deducted from the amount, but you will receive a refund for the balance. This fee will be waived if the item was not as advertised, defective or not functioning as advertised. So basically if it is a return because you have simply changed your mind then the shipping fees will be retained by phygicart.com and we just refund you the item amount paid. You will be refunded the shipping fees for returned items not in proper working condition or faulty and/or defective.

What Guarantee and/or Warranty is offered on items sold on phygicart.com?

There are different types of sellers on phygicart.com and hence different Warranty and Product Guarantees on offer. Please read the offer note against each item listed carefully to understand the individual seller’s policies and procedures. If the item(s) bought is from phygicart.com’s own Retail store then every item has the phygicart.com Guarantee of one (1) year from the date of purchase. For Marketplace sellers it depends on the individual sellers and store policies according to the offer note displayed against every item. Phygicart.com is not responsible for those items however as a buyer you have several recourses for any complaints in regards to individual sellers.

Yeah, what are those? I have a complaint against the seller.

You can file a complaint against the seller and/or contact the Customer Service Team via the Us page and the seller is obliged to respond and interact actively with his/ her customers. We take the peace of mind and satisfaction of our buyers very seriously and we will not tolerate noncompliance with phygicart.com Service Standards and Policies

I think the item I bought might not be a genuine item, what can I do?

Phygicart.com does not tolerate any fake items to be displayed by any of its sellers and strict action will be taken against any seller should this happen. Our Customer Service Teams will investigate thoroughly any such complaint and the selling of fake or banned items could lead to a seller’s blacklisting and closure of his/her store.

Can I return it and get a refund?

If after the three(3) days No Questions Asked return period has elapsed, and you item deemed fake, then absolutely yes, so long it is in its original condition and with the original packaging intact, and you can do so via the Customer Service Team through the Contact Us page or filing a complaint requesting a return.

What if I am not sure what I bought is a genuine item?

Again, as part of the community your feedback and input help make it better. By raising the question or filing a complaint, you give the seller an opportunity to respond to your concern or contact the Customer Service Team through the Contact Us page to take this matter up with the seller.

Can I replace an item?

At the moment we do not offer replacements however you can still return an item. Please see our return policies for that.

Why do you sometimes ask for a copy of my credit card and/or an Identification Card such as a Passport copy, do you not trust me?

This is for your protection as much as ours, as well as all our buyers to ensure that an item bought on phygicart.com using electronic means such as Credit or Debit cards is genuinely the card of the actual buyer and not related to a lost, stolen or fraudulently-used card. In effect it is an extra layer of verification as part of our secure shopping environment and authentication process and security levels.

I am still not comfortable with you having this level of information on me?

Unfortunately it is required at times, and in the case of Credit Cards we only ask for the front-page of the card. However if you have concerns regarding this you can also opt to use Cash on Delivery (COD) or other limited eCard options such as CashU.

I bought an item from phygicart Fashion but it is the wrong size and/or colour. What can I do?

Occasionally this will happen, however for phygicart Fashion items you have a little longer to return an item; up to fourteen (14) days so long as it is in the same condition received and with the original packaging intact. You can contact the Customer Service Team via the Contact Us page to affect a return.

I filed my complaint and contacted your Customer Services and nothing has happened yet?

Firstly, we apologise for the delay. Every complaint filed or issue sent to Customer Services is logged and remains open until full satisfactorily resolution. We work in partnership with all or buyers and sellers to resolve matters speedily, however at times due to complexity of an issue it might require longer to resolve. But rest assured that your case or complaint is not ignored and is being worked on.

But a complaint I had was closed by the seller and I am still not happy or satisfied?

Your complete satisfaction is our primary goal, and you can still re-open the complaint or contact the Customer Service Team through the Contact Us page.
