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, MasterCard, American Express and Paypal. 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, you may also pay via telephone during normal working hours.
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.
Our website is very complex in its operation. Should a situation arise with the website, or software that causes an item price to be incorrectly calculated, or an additional product such as a chain price not to be calculated correctly when included with a product, we will not be obliged to honour the price as it would have been deemed as an obvious error. We will however contact you to advise.

PayPal www.paypal.co.uk

Returns Policy
Your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive.
You are entitled to cancel your order and return the goods within 14 working days for a full refund, including the cost of any compulsory delivery charges, but excluding any postal upgrades which are the clients choice. Do this by contacting us by email or telephone and quoting the order number supplied to you. Your refund will be paid within 30 days. You are responsible for the cost and risk of loss or damage when returning the goods, so you should take out enough postal insurance to cover their value. This cancellation policy does not affect your rights when we are at fault - for example, if goods are faulty or misdescribed.
*Although we legally have to state 14 working days for returns, we do actually have a policy of 30 calendar days.
*Although we have to legally state refunds will be processed within 30 working days, in reality they are usually only 1 to 2 days, if not the same day.
Refunds will only be made to the named purchaser who placed the order, and will only be paid back to the same payment source, either being the same credit or debit card, or the same Paypal account. If the item was received as a gift, then we can arrange a credit note or voucher instead.
Several times a year we do close for holidays, this can cause a slight delay on refunds, however you will be aware of this in advance with either a notice in the shopping cart at the time of order, or a message on your invoice upon receipt of your order. We will always extend your returns period by the length of our closure so as not to disadvantage you returning goods.
Any goods returned should be in saleable condition, and not personalised or engraved.
