Ordering, cancelling before despatch and returning after despatch
Ordering
Please see our ordering online is easy guide for instructions on placing an order.
By completing and submitting an electronic order form, you are making an offer to purchase goods which, if accepted by us, will result in a binding contract. Please note orders will only be despatched once we have authorisation from your payment card issuer. We will not be liable if there is a delay, and we will not accept your order if payment is not authorised.
Certain steps must be followed for a contract to be formed, as described below.
After you have placed your order:
1. We will send you, as soon as possible, an email to acknowledge your order. It will confirm which goods you have ordered. This email is not an order acceptance from us.
2. When we despatch your goods from the warehouse, we will send you a confirmation email. This email constitutes a formal acceptance of your order by us. This also means that a contract between us is agreed and we are obliged to fulfil our obligations under this contract.
We do not have to accept your order, and for example, we will not accept your order if:
· we do not have the goods in stock
· your payment is not authorised
· there is an error on our website regarding the price or other details of the goods
· you have cancelled it in accordance with the instructions below
We reserve the right to refuse any order.
Cancelling an order before despatch
If you change your mind after placing an order, you can cancel it at any time before we despatch it. Please see the Contact us page for our telephone number. You will need to give us your name and address details, as well as your order number to cancel your order.
If you cancel part of an order the postage and packaging charge is recalculated on the price of the goods you keep. For example, if your order is for £60 worth of goods and you then cancel a £15 item, your order total will drop below £49, and you will no longer qualify for FREE Standard delivery.

Items purchased between Sunday 31 October and Friday 24 December 2010 can be returned for a refund or exchange up to and including Saturday 29 January 2011. Normal conditions apply.
When you order from us online, you are entitled to a cooling off period after despatch, when you can return your goods without any penalty. Our cooling off period is 30 days, which includes any statutory cooling off period.
This period starts the day the contract is agreed (i.e. you receive an email from us saying we have despatched your order) and ends 30 days after the day following delivery of the goods.
Certain items are excluded from the cooling off period guarantee, unless we are at fault. These are personalised or engraved items.

Goods must be returned in their original condition, including immediate packaging, within the cooling off period.
