Questions about renting from ITShop
Clear answers about prices, identity checks, payment, delivery, tracking, returns, and bulk laptop rentals in Nigeria.
Getting started
What to know before selecting a device and rental period.
What is the minimum laptop rental period?
One laptop has a 7-day minimum rental period. Bulk rentals of 10 laptops or more can be reviewed from 2 days upward.
Do I need to create an account before renting?
No. ITShop uses guest checkout. We create the customer and rental records securely after you submit your order.
Who can rent equipment from ITShop?
Individuals aged 18 or older, businesses, schools, training centres, NGOs, institutions, event teams, and other organisations can submit rental orders.
Can I rent more than one laptop?
Yes. Choose the required quantity on the product page. For 10 or more laptops, you can also use the bulk rental request so delivery, specifications, and timing can be reviewed as one order.
Pricing and payment
How rental totals, stock requests, deposits, and payment work.
How is my laptop rental price calculated?
The rental total is based on the selected device, quantity, rental dates, and active pricing rules. Your checkout summary validates the amount before payment.
Is delivery included in the displayed product price?
The product price covers the equipment rental. Any delivery estimate is shown separately during checkout and may be reviewed against the final address.
Is a security deposit included in checkout?
No. A security deposit is not included by default. If one is required for your order, ITShop will communicate the amount and terms during admin review.
How do I pay for my rental?
Checkout uses Paystack for secure online payment. Manually arranged payment options may be available for approved business or bulk orders after you contact ITShop.
What happens if I request more units than are currently in stock?
The checkout marks the order as a stock request. ITShop will confirm availability, delivery timing, or suitable alternatives before the equipment is released.
What happens if a paid order cannot be approved?
If a paid order is declined during identity, document, stock, or fulfilment review, the payment is marked for refund and ITShop completes the refund through the applicable payment process.
Identity and documents
Why verification is required and how your information is handled.
Why does ITShop verify my identity?
Rental equipment remains the property of ITShop. Identity verification helps reduce fraud, protect the devices, and connect each rental to the correct customer.
What do individual customers need for verification?
Individuals provide their first and last name, date of birth, 11-digit NIN, consent, and a clear NIN slip or card. Customers must be at least 18 years old.
Does ITShop store my complete NIN?
No. ITShop does not store your complete NIN. We retain a protected hash and the last four digits for security and audit purposes. When automated verification is enabled, the complete number is sent securely to the identity provider only for the lookup.
Why do I need to upload my NIN document?
The NIN slip or card supports identity confirmation and helps protect rental equipment. ITShop will contact you if a clearer or corrected document is needed before delivery.
What documents do companies and institutions provide?
Organisation rentals require registration evidence, a representative ID, and an authorisation letter connecting the representative to the rental.
Which identity-document file formats are accepted?
You can upload PDF, JPG, PNG, or WebP files up to 8 MB each. Files should be complete, readable, and free from glare or heavy cropping.
Delivery, tracking, and returns
What happens after payment and while the equipment is with you.
Does payment mean my equipment is immediately dispatched?
Payment reserves the order for review. Identity documents, stock, delivery details, and any required deposit must be approved before equipment enters delivery preparation.
How can I track my order without an account?
After checkout, ITShop displays and emails a private tracking link. It shows payment, preparation, delivery, active rental, and return updates.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery timing depends on stock, quantity, device preparation, document approval, and your address. ITShop confirms the delivery window after reviewing the completed order.
Can someone else receive the equipment for me?
Tell ITShop before dispatch if an authorised representative will receive the order. Additional confirmation or identification may be requested before handover.
Can I extend my rental period?
Contact ITShop before the return date. Extensions depend on availability and become active only after the new dates and additional rental charge are confirmed.
What happens when my return date is close?
Your tracking page and email notifications remind you about the return date. ITShop will coordinate the return or approved extension with you.
What should I do if equipment is damaged, lost, or stolen?
Contact ITShop immediately and do not attempt an unauthorised repair. The rental agreement and inspection record determine the next steps and any applicable cost.
Business and bulk rentals
Planning larger orders, custom specifications, and temporary projects.
Can ITShop supply laptops for training or CBT exams?
Yes. Submit the quantity, dates, venue, required applications, and preferred specifications early so stock, setup, and delivery can be planned together.
Can I request a special laptop specification?
Yes. Use the special specification request for custom RAM, storage, processor, operating system, software, quantity, or another device type.
Can required software be installed before delivery?
Add the software and configuration requirements to your order notes or bulk request. ITShop will confirm licensing, compatibility, setup time, and any additional charge.
How early should I book a bulk rental?
Book as early as possible, especially for large quantities or fixed event dates. More notice gives ITShop time to align stock, prepare devices, and confirm one delivery window.
