FAQS

What are your delivery charges & timescales?

Purchased items will be shipped within 2-3 working days.

Please allow up to 5 working days for standard Royal Mail delivery.

The delivery charge is just £8.95 for fast delivery via courier to UK mainland - see full details on our Delivery section. 

Do I need to be there to sign for my delivery?

Yes - we use a secure courier delivery service and you must specify an address where someone will be present to sign for the delivery. If you know you will not be at home, please change delivery address to one which enables you to have your parcel delivered to a neighbour, work or business address. The courier company will re-attempt delivery but should there be several failed attempts and the parcel is returned to us, we will have to charge £4.95 for re-delivery.

What if I need help with my order, can I place an order over the phone?

Simply call us on 01208 862088 (Mon-Sat during shop hours 10am to 5.30pm) and a member of our team will be able to advise you.

Can I add an extra item(s) to my order?

Yes you can, provided your order has not already been packed. Please phone us to check and to allow us to take payment for the additional item(s) as we do not store your credit card details or have access to the card details for security reasons.

Can I order an item that is temporarily out of stock?

No, if something is temporarily out of stock it cannot be ordered, as we do not take payment for items we do not have in stock in our warehouse. 

Transport Liability

Orders will be sent to the delivery address that you specify when placing your order. We cannot be held responsible if this delivery address is incorrect. We cannot take responsibility for a lost or stolen parcel if you request it is left somewhere rather than being signed for at your address.

Undeliverable Parcels

When your parcel is shipped by courier, you will receive an email with the tracking link number of your parcel. If you would like some help tracking a parcel, please call a member of our team on 01208 862088 and we will pursue it for you.

Can I order items to be sent outside the UK?

Not at the moment.

Do your prices include VAT (Value Added Tax) and what happens if VAT charges do not apply?

Yes, all our prices are quoted in GBP (Great Britain Pounds Sterling) and we take payment in GBP. All prices quoted on our website include VAT. 

General Information

Please note that every effort has been made to ensure that the colour reproduction of products shown in our Online Store is as close as possible to the original.

Stock Levels

Our website will always endeavour to show current stock levels, thus preventing customers ordering products that are out of stock.
When an item is low on stock, it is possible for more than 1 customer to add the last remaining items to their Shopping Bag. In this event, the first person to complete Checkout will buy those items and a "Sold Out" message displayed should another customer attempt to Checkout with the same items.

Accepted Cards & Payment Information

We accept credit and debit card payment via Visa, Mastercard, Switch, Delta (Visa Debit), Electron and Solo.

Payment for your order is automatically processed as soon as your order is placed. Orders may be subject to security checks before despatch.

Alternatively you may also make a direct payment into our bank account to pay for an item. Please contact us for further details if you wish to do this. Items paid for in this way will be despatched as soon as the funds show as being cleared in our account.

All purchases are processed in Pounds Sterling.
