Collect at Shop

It is possible to collect goods by calling at the shop. Selling on the web is far less expensive than through a shop and our shop prices reflect this difference. If you wish to take advantage of web prices when calling personally, ask at the check out to be charge at web prices.

Payment

We accept Cheques, Postal Orders, PayPal, and the following cards, Delta, Mastercard, Solo, Switch and Visa. We can accept card payments by telephone during shop hours (see opening hours in about us section). We do not charge for any item until it is ready to ship.

Please note that cheques will have to clear before goods can be dispatched. This normally takes around 3-5 working days.

Contract

When confirmation of 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.
