FAQ
UPhones will accept payment via PayPal. For security reasons, if the delivery address on your order is not a confirmed address on your PayPal account, you will receive an email to your PayPal registered account for confirmation before your order is accepted. Once you reply to this email, your order will be considered for authorised and we will dispatch it to your selected address.
Please reply to any orders as soon as possible. UPhone cannot be held liable for any delays to delivery incurred as a result of your failure to respond.
When you pay through PayPal, we get a notification from PayPal to advise us if the delivery address provided is confirmed on your PayPal account. If PayPal advise us that the address provided is not confirmed, we will need to receive confirmation from you in writing to allow us to send through your order.
Just reply to the email we send you to confirm that the delivery address is correct and we will dispatch the order as soon as possible. If we don't get a reply to the email within 7 days, we will have to cancel your order and process a full refund.
When paying with your credit/debit card, several checks are carried out to protect your card from fraudulent activity. The most common check is to ensure that your billing address precisely matches that held by the card issuing bank. If some of the details match, but not all, we will email the email address provided to ask you to confirm. If none of the details match, then your order will simply be cancelled and refunded. You will receive an email to confirm this.
Contact us if you believe this is so, but in most circumstances we have not charged you and it is what is known as a "shadow transaction" showing on your account. When you attempt to confirm and pay we send an authorisation to your bank/card issuer and they reserve the funds by placing a shadow transaction on your account. This makes sure that you can’t spend this money elsewhere. If payment fails or you abandon the payment, we will not request these funds and so your bank will release them back to you. This shadow transaction may remain on your account for up to 6 days, unfortunately this is completely out of our control.
