HOW THE PURCHASING PROCESS WORKS (scroll down for GO TO STORE link)

 

1.  Sales are for delivery within Uruguay only.

 

2.  Prices quoted are the full, delivered price.  Shipping is included and there is no I.V.A. (value added tax) on books.

 

3.  Prices are quoted in Uruguayan pesos.  For example, one hundred pesos, written as $U100.00 is roughly $2.40 US dollars.  One thousand pesos is roughly $24.00 US dollars.  Note that peso prices in Uruguay are normally written with the periods and commas in the reverse positions from where you would see them in the USA and most Western countries, but here they are displayed USA style.

 

4.  Payments are made through South America’s largest payment gateway, Mercado Pago, with all of their Uruguayan payment methods available, including payments via Mercado Pago account information or the Mercado Pago app, payments with international and domestic credit and debit cards, or cash payments through the Redpagos or Abitab systems.

 

5.  Deliveries are made by Uruguay’s leading e-commerce logistics courier, UES.   

 

6.  Receipt of the delivered books requires the customer’s identification and signature.

 

7.  There are two UES delivery options you can select from:

 

     a.  Delivery to one of UES’s roughly 90 convenient pickup points which are spread around the country, and can be selected in the checkout process. This option is highly recommended, due to the complicated address system in Uruguay, particularly for homes.  Pick up at a UES location is the “no fail” option that keeps it simple!  You can see the UES locations here and can they can be selected during the ordering process.

 

     b.  Delivery to a home or business address.  This method is not recommended, unless you have an easily identifiable address, are sure you will be home during delivery hours, and speak Spanish fluently enough to converse with delivery drivers to coordinate delivery details if they call you. For delivery to your address, your Uruguay phone number must be provided, and it is highly recommended that you include the latitude and longitude of the delivery address. Instructions on how to determine a location’s coordinates can be seen at this link.  If delivery address coordinates are not included, the customer will be responsible for any reshipment costs of non-deliverable orders.

 

     c.  If your address details are very clear, and in the Montevideo area, UruXpat may elect to have our book distributor do the delivery.
