You may pay the order in the following ways::
1. Payment at the register, when picking up the order from the Travel FREE store you have indicated when ordering through the portal.
2. Payment through the virtual POS terminal in the preorders portal.
3. Upon delivery.
The problems when paying with a credit / debit card most often are due to several reasons.
1. Make sure that you confirm the payment, pressing the correct button. The most frequently mistake made is that the customer, instead pressing the confirmation button, presses the button for canceling the payment.
2. Check whether there are sufficient funds in the card, required for executing the transaction. If needed, deposit additional funds in your account, so you can make the payment.
3. Do not close the window before the finalization of the payment and the display of notice that the payment is made. If you do so, you will disrupt the transaction and the payment will not be made.
Our border shopping dates back to the far 1991, and the Travel FREE concept was born during 2004, as a result of the vigorous expansion of the European Union and the end of the duty-free commerce on its territory. If you, as most of the people, have missed to notice that fact, most probably the reason for that is Travel FREE. That’s because now we operate at the locations of many of the former duty-free shops, with our priority being offering world known brands at the lowest prices possible.
TravelFree is reserved trademark of the German company Gebr. Heinemann for stores, located in the border areas.
Currently the Travel FREE stores are in the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, Italy and Northern Macedonia.
