Terms & Conditions

Shipping And Handling
Shipping and Delivery is carried out following our strict delivery policy. UK delivery costs between £2.99 and £6.99 depending on class of postage and size of parcel. Please note, we do not ship or invoice to PO Box addresses.

If you are buying something as a present, why not save yourself the hassle and let us gift wrap it for you. We have two different colours of paper to choose from (silver and blue) and we can handwrite a message for you on a gift tag if desired. The gift wrapping service is from just £3.99 for most items (larger parcels may vary in price). Please note on the order form your wrapping requirements and we will contact you if further information is needed.

Delivery Schedule
If you place an order before 3:00pm, we will endeavour to have the goods dispatched on the same day. Delivery is usually by courier and must be signed for on receipt, for your protection and ours. Please allow up to 1-2 working days for delivery (although we will normally have it to you the next day) assuming the item is in stock. We will contact you immediately if the goods are out of stock and arrange for an alternative at your will, or keep you informed of delivery expectations.
All goods are packaged discreetly, and if you have any special requirements please enter these on the order form (general information/special requirements, page 2 of ordering process) or ring our customer help line (0870 2404604). Phone lines are open from 9-5 Mon - Fri (except Christmas and Bank Holidays).

Back Orders
If your item is not in stock, we will back order for you. You will always be emailed or called with the option to cancel your order if you would rather not wait, and we will of course keep you informed of the expected delivery time.

Tax Charges
All prices include VAT at 17.5%

Credit Card Security
All credit card numbers are encrypted in the software when the order is placed using 128 bit encryption. In a nutshell, 128 bit encryption is the standard E-business protocol so have no fears! The credit card numbers are only decrypted after they reach our computer in Head Office. They are not held in clear text on any web site.
