About ELVARA

What is ELVARA?

ELVARA is a Cairo-based online retailer of performance and recovery wearables — WHOOP, Amazfit, Google Fitbit and Garmin — plus bands, chargers and accessories. We serve athletes, executives and health-focused customers across all 27 governorates of Egypt.

Is ELVARA legit?

Yes. ELVARA operates openly at elvaraeg.com and on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok as @Elvara_eg. Every device we sell is 100% original and arrives brand new in its factory-sealed retail packaging. We inspect every unit and log its serial number before dispatch, and we record a packing video for every order. We offer Cash on Delivery — you see the product in front of you before you pay — and direct customer support after the sale.

Where is ELVARA based?

Cairo, Egypt. We ship from Cairo to all 27 governorates.

Is ELVARA an official or authorised WHOOP reseller?

No — and we will never claim to be. ELVARA is an independent retailer. What we do guarantee is that every unit is genuine, brand new and factory-sealed, that we log your device's serial number on our side, and that we stand behind your purchase ourselves with the ELVARA 14-day promise. If something is wrong with your device, you deal with us directly.

WHOOP Products

Which WHOOP should I buy in Egypt?

WHOOP One 5.0 if you want WHOOP's core recovery, strain, sleep and HRV intelligence at the most affordable entry point.
WHOOP Peak 5.0 if you want deeper health coaching — Health Monitor, Stress Monitor and Healthspan with WHOOP Age.
WHOOP MG if you want ECG and blood-pressure insights on top of WHOOP's core stack.
WHOOP 4.0 if budget is tight and you still want WHOOP.
Current prices are always shown on each product page. See our full WHOOP MG vs WHOOP 5.0 buying guide.

Does WHOOP MG detect AFib?

No. WHOOP MG's ECG and blood-pressure insights do work in Egypt, but irregular-heart-rhythm (AFib) notifications are not available in Egypt. These are fitness and tracking devices — they are not medical devices and they do not diagnose anything. If you have a medical condition, speak to your doctor.

Does the price include the WHOOP membership?

Yes. Every WHOOP tracker sold at ELVARA includes a pre-paid 12-month WHOOP membership.

What happens after my 12-month membership ends?

You renew directly through the WHOOP app. WHOOP charges renewals in USD at their then-current price. Renewals do not go through ELVARA.

Are WHOOP MG bands compatible with WHOOP 5.0?

Yes. MG bands have ECG indents for full functionality on WHOOP MG, and they also work perfectly on WHOOP One 5.0 and WHOOP Peak 5.0 (without ECG). If you have an MG device, always buy MG bands.

Do WHOOP 5.0 bands work on WHOOP MG?

Physically yes, but you lose the ECG feature because 5.0 bands lack the ECG indents. For full MG functionality, buy MG-specific bands.

Do WHOOP 4.0 bands fit WHOOP 5.0?

No. WHOOP 4.0 uses a different connector. 4.0 bands fit 4.0 devices only. 5.0/MG bands fit 5.0 and MG devices.

Is Cash on Delivery available?

How much is shipping?

Cairo & Giza: 80 EGP. Alexandria: 85 EGP. Canal & Delta (incl. Damietta): 90 EGP. Central Egypt: 95 EGP. Upper Egypt: 100 EGP. Sinai, North Coast, Matrouh & Red Sea: 150 EGP. Your exact fee is calculated automatically at checkout — see our Shipping Policy.

Pricing & Payment

What payment methods does ELVARA accept?

Cash on Delivery across Egypt, plus InstaPay bank transfer. No prepayment is needed for COD — you pay when your order is delivered.

Do you offer instalments?

No. ELVARA sells on cash on delivery or bank transfer only. We do not offer instalment or financing plans of any kind.

Why is your price higher than the US price?

The Egyptian price carries import cost, shipping into Egypt, local warehousing and our after-sales support. You pay that overhead once instead of handling customs, currency conversion and international return shipping yourself. We are not the cheapest seller in Egypt and we don't try to be — what the difference buys you is a genuine sealed unit, a logged serial number, and someone who answers after you've paid.

Returns & Warranty

What is your return policy?

You have 14 days from delivery. A sealed, unopened item can be returned for a refund. If an item is faulty, arrived damaged, or is the wrong item, we repair or replace it within the same 14 days — opened or not. See our full Return, Refund & Warranty Policy.

What if my device doesn't work?

Contact us immediately at info@elvaraeg.com or via Instagram DM. For activation and setup issues we walk you through it. For a hardware defect within your 14-day window, we repair or replace the device at no cost to you and we cover the return shipping. If a defect appears after the 14 days, email us with your order number — your statutory rights under the Egyptian Consumer Protection Law are unaffected and we review every case individually.

What if my order is not as described?

If what you receive is not what was described — not original, not new, missing the membership, or the wrong colour — that is our error. We replace it or refund you in full, and we pay the return shipping.

Pre-order & Stock

Why are some products marked as pre-order?

Stock of some models fluctuates between shipments. Pre-order lets you reserve your unit from our next arrival. Any pre-order item is clearly labelled as such before you order, and we tell you the expected wait.

How long is the pre-order wait?

Typically 1–3 weeks depending on the model. Premium bands (LeatherLuxe, SuperKnit Luxe) can take longer. We keep you updated by email or Instagram DM.

Can I cancel my pre-order?

Yes. Cancel any time before dispatch for a full refund. Once the package ships, our standard return policy applies.
