Making A Purchase

Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on ‘Checkout’ and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

We accept Visa, Amex and MasterCard. Backordered items are not charged until they are shipped. If you do not wish to pay online, you may send your card information via phone.

If you have made a mistake in your order and cannot correct it in the shopping cart, contact us and we will correct the mistake.

When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Shipping And Handling

Shipping & Returns

Postage costs are clearly shown before you complete your order.
It is our intention to complete orders as quickly as possible and to provide the most efficient and cost effective delivery method. Delivery charges vary throughout the site, but are never more than what it actually costs us to package and deliver an item.

When comparing costs of products, please consider the total price including postage and packing rather than looking for offers of ‘free delivery’ or flat rate charges. Please also remember that the price of packing is included within delivery charges.

If you are not generally at home during the day please consider having your order sent to an alternative address such as a to neighbour, or your place of work.

Delivery prices are quoted for mainland UK only. We can deliver some items to Ireland, Scottish highlands and islands and also abroad. Please contact us directly if you have any queries about delivery locations. If you can do this by email (link below) and provide a delivery postcode (or location if no postcode is available) along with the product you are interested in, we will get back to you as quickly as possible.
We will send an e-mail to let you know your order has been processed and despatched. 

Orders typically take between 1 and 10 days to arrive, only longer than 48 hours during busy or seasonal periods such as bank holidays or Christmas for example. If an item is out of stock then delivery may take up to 28 days. If there is likely to be any sort of delay with your order, we will notify you by email or phone at the earliest opportunity to give you the choice of ordering an alternative item in stock, or refunding your purchase.

Please contact us for further information

Returns and Refunds

You can return your item(s) to us within 28 days of receiving your order for a complete refund. All that we ask is that the item(s) must be returned to us in their original as new condition with all of the tags attached and the item(s) still in their original packaging. Items that have been used, washed, soiled or damaged in any way will invalidate our offer.

Delivery Schedule

We deliver your order right away. We will normally send your order to you in 2 business days. 

You must inform us within two working days if the goods are lost or damaged in transit so that we can make a prompt claim against the delivery company and correct the problem. Please quote your order number in all correspondence.

You agree that proof of delivery supplied by our delivery company is sufficient evidence to establish that goods have been received.
