SHOPPING GUIDE
To place an order, you must be registered with www.columbus-outdoor.com. There are two options for registration:
Register before ordering
First, you must access the REGISTER section in the main menu
You will only need to register once. Our website is aimed at the end consumer, which means that you must register as an individual and not as a legal entity. To do this, you need an e-mail address and a personal password. The other information is optional and helps us to get to know you better and to be able to offer you what you need. We will ask you for the delivery address and your personal details once you are placing your order.
We adhere to the applicable data protection regulations and will not pass your details on to third parties
Once you click on the "Register" button, a registration confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address indicated in the previous step.
To validate your registration, click on the link in the email.
Buy as a visitor without the need to register
You will need to add the items you wish to purchase to your basket.
Once they are in the basket, click on the "Place order" button, which will take you to the checkout.
Once at the checkout, you must fill in all the compulsory fields in the address and contact details section, all of which are marked with an asterisk (*).
When purchasing as a visitor, you will not have access to certain features within the private customer area.
PURCHASING PROCESS
Once you have chosen the item, you will have to select the size and colour (if these options are available) and then click on the button marked “Add to cart”.
If you wish to continue with the purchase, remember that our website is aimed at the end consumer. Therefore, invoices will always bear the name of an individual and never that of a legal entity. If you are a company, please contact us by email at: [email protected] to find out about our B2B conditions.
After adding the products to your basket, you can go directly to the payment process or you can change the items in your basket.
If you wish to proceed to the payment process, place the cursor on the button marked "PROCESS ORDER" or "PAYPAL" to make the payment through the secure payment gateway for card payments or using Paypal.
Once in the Payment section, you must follow the steps indicated and complete the information requested. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. If you are already registered, but not logged in, when entering your email address, you will be asked for your password and some fields will be automatically filled in according to your profile information.
If you are not registered, you will have to provide a personal password that can be used to access your account after making the purchase.
Delivery address
In the next step, you will have to specify the delivery destination. All products on our website will be delivered to your home. The courier companies we work with will offer you pick-up options at collection points as an alternative to home delivery.
Payment
Lastly, you must make the payment. The platforms guarantee and protect information during the process of transmitting the user data, thus offering secure transactions. Payment can be made via PayPal (see www.paypal.es) or by Credit Card.
Once payment has been made, we will send you a confirmation email with all the details of your purchase.
