How do I order
from you? This site utilises a shopping cart technology via secure processing servers.
You can simply browse through our online catalogue pages and add the items you want
to your shopping cart by clicking on the BUY button. You can view your shopping
basket at any time and remove items from it. When you've finished shopping simply
click on "Checkout" button on the Shopping basket page to enter our checkout page
and select your payment method.
Do you accept Credit Cards?
Yes, we accept Credit
Cards such as MasterCard and Visa; also debit cards such as Delta and Switch
Maestro,
processing is via our payment provider's online secure transaction servers. All
product ordering is sent to us via e-mail, but your credit card information is kept
within a secure sockets layer (SSL) high encryption, because of this no one has
access to your credit card details, not even us. We use the facilities of large
well-known companies for our credit card transactions, their system verifies your
card details via your card issuer or bank and confirms a payment to us, we do not
see your card information, so remains very secure.
Can my credit cards detailsbe stolen in online transactions?
The risks on the Internet are the same as in mail
order. If you feel confident to buy by phone, fax or mail, you should be confident
to buy on the Internet. In fact, your rights are the same whether shopping on the
Net or in the high street. The Sale of Goods Act and the Trade Descriptions Act
cover them. If you receive faulty goods from any UK source, you have the right to
a full refund. Many people don't realise the extent of protection that their credit
cards companies provide. It's simple. If you get transactions charged to your account,
you can request verification via your credit card issuer. Web transactions are mainstream.
Millions of pounds of transactions are now being conducted across the Internet every
day. Thousands and thousands of purchases are taking place, and multi-million pound
companies such as Tesco, Amazon, Dell and Comet are making the Web a major ordering
mechanism, with many more joining. They would not do this if the system were fundamentally
insecure.
Do you have Fraud prevention and credit card security measures?
Security
and fraud prevention are very important to us, not only do we take measures to ensure
our systems are secure but we join with our partners in ensuring your credit card
information is protected. Fraud prevention systems are in place to ensure that only
a verified card holder payment has taken place. For further peace of mind you can
join your card issuer scheme, entirely optional. This user authentication is offered
by the major card schemes, Visa and MasterCard, Referred to as Verified by Visa
and MasterCard SecureCode, authentication requires the cardholder to enter a PIN
over a secure connection with your credit card issuer. You can identify a secure
area with the address starting with https:// and a padlock symbol showing at the
bottom of your browser.
Do you guarantee all your products are available?
We cannot
guarantee all products are always in stock, but as long as your items ordered are
in stock we will dispatch them normally within 1 working day on confirmed payment.
