Regarding the online shopping and pickup in club service platform (Click and Go)

All terms and conditions in the Policies and Returns section of pricesmart.com are applicable. Since the Click and Go online sales service (online purchase and club pickup) has been enabled as a temporary solution to the current global health situation, PriceSmart hereby reserves the right not to allocate cash back accumulation to purchases processed through this service provisionally and will communicate if the ability to accumulate this benifit, with cards or memberships, is reestablished to its members in a timely manner. Members who wish to accumulate cashback for purchases made must use the club purchase service and other associated services established to accumulate this benefit.

The Click and Go service does not currently allow the issuance of electronic invoices nor is it applicable to diplomatic benefits in countries where this purchase method is provided.

All purchases made through this platform, in the countries where it is available, will generate charges in American dollars (USD), are subject to the processing bank’s exchange rate in the countries where PriceSmart operates and will be processed through aeropost.com, a PriceSmart company. An exception applies to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia and Barbados, where all purchases made through this platform, will generate charges in local currency. The amount billed at the time the order is placed is subject to change, and therefore could reflect a different amount on the invoice and statement of the card with which the customer pays for his order compared to the amount indicated at the time of paying for the order online. The price of products on pricesmart.com is displayed following our club policies and practices. This means they include all taxes in Barbados, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Trinidad and Tobago. Similarly, In order to follow local regulations and practices, local products in Aruba, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama and US Virgin Islands will have the sales tax added at checkout. PriceSmart.com may apply a USD$5.00 stocking fee per order (the stocking fee may be charged in local currency; daily exchange rate applies). This stocking fee will not be charged during the COVID-19 restriction period.

The Click and Go/Delivery service has an order placement time limit in order to guarantee delivery in the shortest amount of time possible, within the club’s working hours and in accordance with the public transit guidelines and restrictions that may exist in the countries where the service is provided. Therefore, the member understands all orders will be processed over night and made available for pickup the day after order completion. For the Click and Go service, the member will have a 24-hour window after the pickup confirmation communication is sent to pick up their order. If a confirmed order is not picked up within the specified time, a USD $10.00 restocking fee will be charged and a refund of the order fee will be processed to the card used by the member to place the order (the restocking fee may be charged in local currency; daily exchange rate applies). For the Delivery service, the member agrees to guarantee reception of the order at the address indicated at checkout, and as indicated through the service's communication provided to facilitate delivery. The member will be charged the USD $10.00 restocking fee, in the cases where the member fails to receive the order. This stocking fee will not be charged during the COVID-19 restriction period. All orders will be delivered in a sealed package, with the corresponding printed invoice attached. The member will be responsible for retrieving their purchases from the assigned driver's car. The driver will only be responsible of delivering the order to the building or residence indicated in the order's delivery address. In the cases where these conditions are not met, the member must reject the delivery and notify the issue via email to the email address of the club where the order was placed. Doing so will be the only way to trigger reimbursement for the order. Members accept and understand that, upon placement of pickup-in-club orders, they are responsible for procuring capacity and means to pick up and transport large format and high weight items, such as large appliances, furniture and other large format products. Members also understand and accept that delivery service orders will be conditioned by the transportation capacity of vehicles used for such end and, therefore, do not consider the transportation or delivery of large format items. PriceSmart will offer members to coordinate a delivery service exclusively for these large format items, at an additional cost. PriceSmart staff will contact the member to arrange and schedule deliveries on a case-by-case basis. See Delivery service coverage areas.

Click and Go purchases, as well as physical purchases at the club, will be restricted for staple or high demand products for an indefinite time, in order to give as many members posible the opportunity to buy said products. PriceSmart reserves the right to define and update the list of products to which this restriction applies in quantity discretion, and will indicate any updates in this regard to its members both at clubs and its web site, being this last the primary and most up-to-date source to that end.
