Useful information for customers
What is a Wishlist?
Your Wishlist is a tool on ArzMall that allows you to bookmark products that you are interested in for later review. You can manage products in your wishlist by adding/deleting tags.
What to do before you buy?
Check product details carefully
Review the shipping terms, refund and return policies, and other terms and conditions of the product you want to buy carefully before placing an order.Communicate with the supplier
Make sure you're eligible to buy the item you are interested in. If you cannot meet certain conditions, such as the minimum order quantity for an item, please contact the supplier before ordering the item.
Understand the product you want to buy
Use common sense. If a product or the price of a product seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Get to know the supplier you are buying from. To check on a supplier's Feedback Profile and History, click on the positive feedback number in Supplier Details on product page.
Learn about our Buyer Protection Plan
Keep your contact information updated (including your email address, phone number, etc.)
What to do before you pay?
To be protected 100% against fraud we suggest you always use ArzMall's payment methods, this means to buy your items through ArzMall's shopping cart.
Although this is not obligatory but it is highly recommended.Only purchase from vendors who accept ArzMall's payment methods because your payment is only released to the vendor after you confirm satisfactory receipt of your order.
Don't pay with cash or with money transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram directly to the vendor. If a vendor asks you to use a payment method other than ArzMall's Escrow, please report to us.
Keep records of your communication with the supplier, especially if the buying terms are different from those specified on the original product detail page.
Transaction returns & disputes
How do I dispute a transaction on my account?
It's not uncommon for transaction disputes to be the result of a misunderstanding. Before contacting your vendor or the ArzMall team to raise a transaction dispute, please take a moment to consider the following scenarios and whether they apply to your individual situation:I did not authorise the transaction / I do not recognise the company name on my statement
Many companies use different trading and merchant names to identify their stores. This is especially prevalent for online merchants. If you do not recognise a merchant description on your statement, a quick internet search or phone call to the company may help clarify the nature of the goods or services they provide.
If your account has supplementary holders, be sure to check whether they could have made the purchase(s) in question.
Finally, it's a good idea to think back to the date and dollar amount, as this may prompt your memory. If you use a calendar or diary, check what you were doing on the day of the transaction (include dates either side, as it's not uncommon for there to be a delay from when you make a purchase, to when it shows on your account).
The goods received are not as described
Check the merchant's return policy. This policy should be clearly displayed in-store or on the sales voucher.
Obtain a detailed description of the return policy from the vendor before placing your order.
The goods or services are not received/rendered
Double check the expected date of delivery, as you are unable to initiate a transaction dispute if this date has not yet passed.
The transaction amount on my statement differs from my receipt
Contact us immediately.
I do not remember making a purchase on the date reflected in my statement
As with scenario one, think back to the date and dollar amount to help prompt your memory. If there are any supplementary holders on your account, be sure to check with them.
Finally, it's not uncommon for there to be a delay from when you make a purchase, to when it shows on your account. Please consider purchases you may have made a few days either side of the transaction date on your statement.
If you have considered the above scenarios and are still questioning one or more transactions on your account, please call us immediately so we can investigate the issue and if required, block your account to prevent further unauthorised purchases.

I did not receive an activation email from ArzMall
If you haven't received the email to activate your ArzMall account there are a few common reasons it may not have come through:
- The email is still in transit. Depending on internet traffic and how busy your ISP is, it can take a couple hours for emails to arrive. This is more likely to happen around holidays and peak sending times.
- The email is getting trapped by an over-aggressive spam filter. Check your junk or spam folder to see if the activation email landed there. If not, it could be happening at the server or ISP level. You may want to check with your server administrator or try signing up with another email address, if you have one.
- A corporate firewall is stopping the email from getting through. Some corporate email servers have firewalls, which block certain emails in an attempt to provide greater security and reduce spam. If you're on a corporate email server, check with your server administrator to make sure that emails from @arzmall.com addresses aren't being blocked.
- Maybe you typed the wrong email address when you signed up?
If you still haven't received the email, navigate to the login page and enter your login credentials to prompt a resend of the activation mail. You can contact our support department through email if you need additional help signing up.
