How to Pay
We currently accept payments in American Dollars, British Pounds, South African Rands and Euros.
FactoryElectric.com accepts your payment via the following methods:
- Electronic Transfer
You can transfer funds directly from your account to ours in the UK or in South Africa. - Cash
If you wish to pay cash for your purchase, this can be deposited directly into our accounts in UK or South Africa. If the cash is in Zimbabwe, you can either take your cash into any bank in Zimbabwe and ask them to transfer it to our account. - Cheque
All cheques will need to clear with our bankers prior to collection of your purchase. - Personal FCA in Zimbabwe
Using a Zimbabwean personal FCA is easy, simply take the pro-forma invoice to your bank, that operates your FCA, and ask them to transfer the funds directly into our account. - Corporate FCA in Zimbabwe
Unfortunately using funds in a Zimbabwean Corporate FCA is difficult because of all of the bureaucracy caused by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. However it is possible for us to make the necessary arrangements to facilitate this. Please contact us to discuss. - Credit / Debit card or Paypal
Unfortunately we are not yet in a position to accept these forms of electronic payment, but we are working on it and expect to have it up and running in the near future.

I live overseas can I buy something for someone in Zimbabwe?
Yes you can! Simply create your free account, make your purchases and add the details of the recipient to your order. We will contact them to advise them of where they can collect their item(s) / gift(s) from once payment has been confirmed with you.
The item I wish to purchase says “Temporarily out of stock.” How long does it take for new stocks to arrive?
We receive regular shipments of our products and therefore the item you may want to purchase could be anywhere from 1 day to 3 weeks away from being available on the website. Please either contact us and ask about your particular product or add it/them to your basket and complete the basket enquiry form to find out.
