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 card payments. If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else, place your order and your card company will convert the transaction to US Dollars or your own currency.

We accept Visa and MasterCard. We do not charge for any item until it is ready to ship. Backordered items are not charged until they are shipped. If you do not wish to pay online, we can process your order over the phone.

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

When confirmation of your order is received, our system will generate a sales order form, 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 or overpriced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Shipping And Handling

All packages sent from us are sent via a 'Signed' for service via courier. Smaller items may be sent via Royal Mail, but this will still require a signature on delivery. Our website calculates the weight of your order and the shipping destination. Only the shipping options appropriate to your order will be displayed. We use several reliable courier companies for our UK customers, to ensure ‘on time’ deliveries and the best possible service.

Lost Goods

If your goods have not arrived within 3 days of the delivery confirmation email (for international orders , please allow up to 28 days), please email or telephone to let us know.
