How to Order

Finding items
You can make your way around the site using the various links until you find what you were looking for, or simply browse until something catches your eye.
To find out more about a product, click on the image of the product or on the 'More Info' button. You'll then be taken to that product's page, which shows you image(s) of the item, more information about the item, a 'Buy' button to add the item to your Basket, and sometimes links to other related products.

Adding items to your Basket
When you click on 'Buy', the item is added to your Basket (on the right-hand side of the screen). This is a place to store anything you intend to buy. You can of course remove items from your Basket if you change your mind.
When you've finished shopping, click 'View Basket' (on the right-hand side of the screen). Here you will see a summary of everything in your Basket. You can change the quantity of any item by entering the new quantity and clicking on 'Update' (to remove an item, change the quantity to zero). Always remember to click 'Update' after changing a quantity.
When you're ready to buy, click 'Proceed to checkout' to begin filling out the order form.

Completing the order form
On the first page, fill out your name, email and address details. You only need to fill in your house number and postcode; to save you time we complete the rest of your address from these details (you have the opportunity to check and amend them on the next page).
Check the 'Remember Me' box to save you having to enter these details when you return to our site. (This service relies on a cookie being placed on your computer; if you clear your cookies, then you will have to re-enter your address details next time you order.)
When you're ready, click 'Continue'.
On the second page of the checkout, check that the address details shown are correct. The 'Contact' address must be the same as the address the credit card bill is sent to. If you require the goods to be sent to an alternative delivery address, or if there is an error in the 'Contact' address, click the appropriate 'I want to change the address listed' button, fill out the form, and click submit. Click continue when you are happy with the order details shown.
The next page of the checkout is where you fill in your payment information. We accept the following credit cards:
Mastercard, Visa, Maestro, Delta
Fill out your payment details and click 'Process Order' to complete your order.
You are given an order summary showing your order number. Please make a note of this in case you need to refer to it at a later date.
Once your payment has been processed you will be sent an email acknowledging receipt of your order.
