Once we receive your order we will contact you with delivery times.

Availability
We endeavour to hold sufficient stock to meet all orders but if we have insufficient stock to supply or deliver the goods ordered we will contact you to give the expected delivery time. We may offer a refund.

Payment
Payment is done through Paypal. If you have an account you can log in. If you do not have an account you can pay with all major credit cards. Paypal is an easy, secure method to shop on the Internet. We do not collect or store credit or debit card details.

Cancelling your Order
You can cancel your contract at any time up to 7 working days after the day of delivery. To do this, please e-mail us or write to us.

You do not have to give any reason for cancellation. However, a brief explanation will help us to improve the service we offer to customers in the future.

If you cancel, you must return the goods to us at your own expense. A term to this effect is only compulsory if you choose to make the buyer responsible for the cost of returning the goods. You must ensure that the goods are packaged adequately to protect against damage.

If you fail to return the goods, we will collect them, and we will charge you the direct cost of collection. If you fail to take reasonable care of the goods before they are returned to us, and this results in damage or deterioration, we will charge you for the reduction in value.

This cancellation policy does not affect your legal rights.
