Buying with local pickup

How to Know if Local Pickup is Available

Local pickup availability is determined by the individual vendor for their specific products and locations.

• During Checkout: When you add items to your cart and proceed to checkout, if a vendor offers local pickup for your selected items and location, you will see a “Local Pickup” or “Store Pickup” option available among the delivery methods.

The Local Pickup Process

If a vendor offers local pickup, here’s how the process generally works:

1. Select Local Pickup: During the checkout process, choose “Local Pickup” as your delivery method if it’s presented as an option for your order.
2. Complete Your Purchase: Proceed to complete your payment using the available cryptocurrency payment methods.
3. Order Confirmation: After your purchase, you’ll receive an order confirmation email. This email will typically include initial details about your order and the vendor.
4. “Ready for Pickup” Notification: Crucially, please wait for a separate notification from the vendor confirming that your order is ready for pickup. This notification will usually be sent to your registered email address and may contain important details such as:
   • The exact pickup address.
   • Specific pickup hours.
   • Any identification required for pickup (e.g., order number, ID).
   • Any special instructions from the vendor.

Important Considerations for Local Pickup

• Vendor-Specific Details: Local pickup terms (hours, exact location, required ID) vary greatly between vendors. Always refer to the specific instructions provided by the vendor in their “Ready for Pickup” notification.
• No Shipping Costs: When you choose local pickup, you will not be charged any shipping fees for that portion of your order.
• Location Dependency: Local pickup is only available if the vendor’s physical pickup location is accessible and offered for your order.
• Proof of Purchase: Always be prepared to show your order confirmation and potentially a valid ID when picking up your order, as required by the vendor.
• Communication: If you have any questions before or after placing a local pickup order, please communicate directly with the vendor through the “Get Support” option on your order page.
