Alternatively, you can click «Use my current location» for the same function, provided you have adjusted your browser settings to allow access to your location. Moving to the next step by clicking the «checkout» button, you can view any applicable shipping costs, which are calculated automatically once you fill in your delivery address and select your shipping method. You will also see an estimated delivery time, based on the shipping method you chose. Additionally, you will be shown a summary of your order, plus a field to enter any discount code you may have. Finally, you can complete your transaction by clicking the «Complete Order and Payment» button.

3.2. Delivery, shipping method, transit time, and shipping costWhen you complete your order, you will first be asked to choose whether you would like to pick it up from a store or have it delivered to you. If you select the first option, you will see all available in-stock stores near the location "your location", which you can modify. If you have not set a location, all in-stock stores will simply be displayed. At this stage, you can also use the "Use My Location" button, as long as you have adjusted your browser settings to allow access to your location, or you can enter the postal code that applies to you.

Once you have entered your shipping address, you will see all available delivery methods. Your order is typically delivered to your location by our partner courier service, ACS. Alternatively, you can choose to have your order sent to one of the ACS Lockers located across Greece, with a maximum weight limit of 10 κιλά. Additionally, you may pick up your order via Box Now, which has a maximum weight limit of 20 κιλά. Orders placed on our eshop on business days by 12.00 midday that are eligible for delivery in Athens are, as a rule, delivered within 48-72 hours if the product is in stock (otherwise within the next 2-3 business days). For all other regions, and if the product is available, delivery timelines vary based on distance and can take up to 4-5 business days. In areas classified as hard-to-reach by our partner courier company, delivery times may be even longer. To avoid incurring extra shipping fees, your order is only processed once all products included in it are in stock. If for any reason you would like to receive only the available items from your order first, please call us at 211-9997590 and request this delivery, providing your order number. All deliveries are made during business days and hours, Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 19.00. We do not deliver on Saturdays, public holidays, or days when our main warehouse is closed for inventory counts. For orders including products that are not immediately in stock, we will contact you via email to inform you of their delivery timeline.

 

Please note that delivery times may also be impacted by your order’s payment method. For example, in the case of a bank deposit, delivery timelines depend on when the payment posts to our company bank account. We also highlight that the COMPANY is not liable for on-time delivery of products when shipments are handled by the courier company, as the courier sets its own delivery timelines based on the shipping/delivery address.

 

For products marked with any of the following labels:

·       Coming Soon or

·       Available to order

the delivery deadline is illustrative -non-binding for the COMPANY- and may be modified based on the availability of manufacturer Apple or the COMPANY’S suppliers, for all third-party products. In these cases, you will  be notified of the exact delivery date via an informative email.

 

Orders over €49 qualify for free delivery to all locations on ACS’s core network, as well as via the ACS Lockers network. Box Now delivery is free for orders over €49, and carries a €1.49 fee for shipments under €49. Additionally, orders shipped to locations outside ACS’s core network (classified as remote destinations) are subject to shipping fees; the exact amount will be communicated to you during the checkout process. Orders under €49 incur a €3 shipping fee for the ACS core network, while ACS Lockers charge a €1.49 fee for all orders up to €49. 

 

Additionally, if you are interested in immediate delivery, you may select delivery via Wolt, subject to the following specific conditions:

a) This service is available only if our stores are open, the required stock is on hand, and the store and recipient are both located within a 7km radius. 

b) An additional mandatory requirement is that your order may not exceed 15kg in weight and must not surpass the dimensions 50 × 50 × 50 cm.

This email will confirm the exact delivery time, and you must collect your order within 3 days of receiving that notification. If you have not paid for your order and you fail to collect it within the 3-day window noted above, your order will be canceled.

 

3.3. Payment Methods: When you proceed to the Checkout section, you will first be asked to let us know whether you wish to have an invoice issued or not. Please note that when you select to issue an invoice, you are acting as a 'supplier' (any natural or legal person, regardless of whether it is governed by private or public law, that acts, including through any other person acting in its name or on its behalf, for purposes relating to its commercial, business, craft, or professional activities), and not as a consumer (any natural person acting for purposes that do not fall within their trade, business, craft, or independent professional activity). This is also important because if you are acting as a supplier, you do not hold the statutory rights afforded to consumers – including, for example, the 14-day no-reason, no-fee withdrawal right   that applies to distance contracts – though you retain all of your statutory rights as a buyer. If you purchase as a consumer, we will issue you the corresponding retail sales receipt.

 

Next,   you will select your payment method: either via Viva.com, which includes the option to pay through IRIS, via Klarna, via Apple Pay, via bank deposit, or with cash on delivery [Cash upon delivery (Cash on Delivery - COD)]. If you have selected to pick up your order from a store, you will also see the "Pay in Store" option displayed. Specifically, the following payment methods are offered:

·       Up to 12 interest-free installments for purchases between 100 and 200 euros, and up to 48 interest-free installments for purchases of 200€ and above, made with a credit card via Viva. This offer applies to Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Diners – Discover cards.

·       Up to 3 interest-free installments with Klarna

·       Via IRIS through Viva

·       With Apple Pay

·       Bank deposit

·       Cash on delivery (COD), subject to conditions (see below).

Additionally, if you pay in-store, the following extra payment methods are also available: via Apple Pay, through the Trade & Upgrade program, and via an installment plan that does not require a credit card.

 

Important notes regarding payments via Viva:

You may choose to either be charged the full transaction amount upfront, or split it into equal, interest-free monthly installments. For interest-free installment plans, the full purchase amount is reserved on your card from the start. This means you will not be able to make additional purchases if you do not have enough available remaining balance on your card. Each month, the amount corresponding to one installment is charged to your card until the full sum is paid off.  Interest-free installments are only supported for credit cards, and specifically viva.com accepts cards issued by Greek banks. Additionally, if you return a transaction that was charged in installments, please note that the full amount will remain reserved even after we reverse the original transaction. This means you will see a charge for the installment amount each month, plus a matching credit for the same amount, until the end of your original installment period, when the full reserved balance will be released. We also inform you that generally, credits from reversed transactions take some time to process fully. Specifically:

·       If your card is a Mastercard or Diners/Discover, the credited amount will post within 1 to 2 business days, depending on your card’s issuing bank.

·       If your card is a VISA, the credited amount will appear immediately, provided your card type (e.g. Business, Personal, etc.) and its issuing bank participate in the instant credit program (VISA Direct). If this is not the case, the amount will be credited within 1 to 2 business days.

 

Important notes about payments via Klarna:

You also have the option to pay via Klarna {Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden, registration number: 556737-0431}, the Buy-Now, Pay-Later (BNPL) service provider we partner with (hereinafter, “Klarna”). A mandatory requirement to use this payment method is that you enter into an agreement with Klarna. This allows you to pay off your purchases in three interest-free installments  - 3 installments, 0% interest rate- using a valid card issued in your name (debit or credit -Visa / Mastercard-; prepaid cards, Maestro, and AMEX are excluded). Klarna's service is only available for purchases over 35 € and up to 1500 € per transaction. Specific terms apply to this service, available here[AG1] . The Klarna option will appear to you during checkout, so if you select it, you will be redirected to Klarna's platform when you submit your order. All you need to do is add the details of the credit or debit card you wish to use for automatic payments.  Please note that you cannot select a smaller or larger number of installments; the only available options are the three-installment plan, or paying the full amount in a single lump sum.

 

If you do not already have a Klarna account, you will be asked to create one during the payment process. To pay via Klarna, you must:

a) follow all the steps and requirements set out by Klarna during your sign-up (including completing all mandatory identity verification details for your account)

If your order qualifies for "Pay in 3 installments", you can select this option at checkout to split your purchase cost into three interest-free payments. When you choose to pay via Klarna, you split your purchase cost into 3 interest-free installments: your first payment is charged when you submit your order, and the remaining two equal payments are automatically charged to the card you used every 30 days (i.e., 30 and 60 days respectively from the date of your initial payment). Klarna will send you a notification via email or the Klarna app before each automatic charge is processed. When you use Klarna to split your purchase into 3 interest-free payments, Klarna runs a soft credit check. This will not impact your credit score; it simply helps Klarna confirm that you can make your payments on time.

 

If we are notified by Klarna that there is an issue with your card details, we reserve the right to reject your order or withdraw from the sale at any time. You are solely responsible for correctly entering your card details.

 

We would also like to inform you that Klarna is available as a payment method for self-employed sole proprietors, who are eligible to purchase select products with VAT exemption.

 

In general, Klarna can be used to purchase all products available in our online store.

In the event you return or cancel your order, you will receive your refund within 3 business days. Depending on your bank, it may take up to 14 days for the funds to appear in your account. Specifically, the refund process varies based on the payment method you selected when you made your purchase, for example:

Instant payments – the amount will be refunded to the account that was used to make your purchases

Invoices – the amount will be refunded once the invoice is canceled, if you paid via the Klarna app or through klarna.com

Installment payments – the amount will be deducted from your total outstanding balance, or Klarna will contact you to request your bank details.

 

For more information about order returns, please refer to Klarna's return guide: https://www.klarna.com/gr/odigies-epistrofis/

 

We process your order exactly like every other order placed on our website. If you choose to pay later via Klarna, Klarna pays us the full amount as soon as you place your order. You will then repay Klarna at a later date, in line with the payment schedule you selected. The full credit balance arising from your transactions with istorm.gr, including all related rights, guarantees and obligations tied to those transactions, is assigned by us to Klarna once payment is finalized. For this reason, you hereby acknowledge that all payments must be made to Klarna, in compliance with the terms shared with you by Klarna, which you accepted when you registered and completed your payment. istorm.gr accepts no liability for any claims Klarna may bring against you, and expressly disclaims all responsibility arising from the relationship between Klarna and you as a customer/purchaser.

If you send the transfer from a different bank, the payment typically takes 2-3 business days to post; if you send the transfer from the same bank, the payment will post by the next business day. If your deposit is not completed within 7 business days from the date you placed your order, your order will be fully canceled. Please do not forget to list your order number as the payment reference on your deposit slip, to indicate which order your deposit applies to.

Important notes regarding cash on delivery (COD – Cash On Delivery) payments:

Order payments via cash on delivery may only be made in cash — see the next paragraph for amount-related details — to the courier company's employee when your order's products are delivered. This payment method is therefore only available for orders that you have requested to be shipped via courier. The cash on delivery service is provided free of charge.

Settlement of these documents with cash is prohibited. Therefore, for all orders totaling five hundred (500) euros or more, cash payments are not allowed, and the cash on delivery payment method is excluded as a settlement option for these cases.
