Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Cancelled / Refunded Orders Prior to Despatch

Occassionally our site will state that a particular item is in stock & avaible for despatch, when in fact it isnt. This is a unfortunate feature of our ecommerce system & the way our supplier SIM's operate and is beyond our control. As a result your order may be cancelled without prior notice if a solution cannot be found in good time. When this happens we will endevour to issue you a full refund as quickly as possible. Please check your emails for notifications on the status of your order. We will accept no responsibilty for emails dropping into spam folders or going un-noticed.


Damaged or Incorrect Items

If for any reason the product you ordered is incorrect or damaged then naturally we would be happy to replace the product or refund you in full. Please notify us via email or phone of any damages / incorrect products within 7 days of your delivery. Proof of damage will be required.


Returning Products

Should you need to return any products to us then you will be responsible for the cost of the postage. A returns form can be downloaded usling the link below. Once completed please include it in the returning package. On receiving the products we will carry out an inspection and should we find that it was in anyway our fault or the product was faulty then we will happily refund you the cost of the postage. Naturally should we believe it not to be our fault then we may choose not to refund any postage and may choose to claim costs of packaging for returning the products to yourself.

The product will be inspected against “reason for return” before any refund or replacement is posted out / made. Please note that will we only pay collection fees on warranty items unless agreed otherwise. Please ensure receipts are forwarded to us with the return where possible.
