How to order
You can order products displayed on this website
by telephoning us
on-line via our secure server.
If you have placed your order on-line, we will quickly send you an e-mail to confirm that we have received your order. If you wish you can print this out so that you have a hard copy of your order details. The fact that you receive an automatic confirmation does not necessarily mean that we will be able to meet your order.
Prices
Our prices are shown on our web site. We try to make sure that the prices on our website are accurate but we will need to validate the price before we process your order. If we are unable to supply a particular item which you have ordered or if the correct price for an item is different from the price on your order, we will notify you as soon as we can after receiving your order. If this happens, you may cancel your order and we will refund you any money that you have paid.
All quotations given by the Seller (unless otherwise agreed in writing) are subject to withdrawal and alteration without notice and do not constitute an offer to supply goods. Goods supplied against order via the web site will be charged at the price and the date of despatch. Prices, unless shown in the checkout area of the web site, do not include the Cost of delivery and value-added tax which must be paid by the Buyer, unless stated otherwise.
Payment
You can pay by Visa or MasterCard credit cards or debit card. To ensure that shopping on-line is secure, your credit/debit details will be encrypted and transmitted over a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to minimise the possibility of someone being able to read your details as they are sent to us over the Internet. The prices displayed on are web site are in British Pounds Sterling and any orders received will be debited in British Pounds Sterling. In the case of orders received by the Seller from outside the UK, the exact exchange rate will be determined by your credit card supplier at the time the order is processed.
Delivery
Delivery of the goods will be arranged by ourselves using either our own delivery methods or using an outside contractor. You will be notified of the delivery cost before you submit your credit card details. If your delivery address is outside the UK and you order in any other way other than on-line, please contact us for details of the delivery charge.
All goods received from the Sellers via a carrier must be signed for as “unexamined” and shortages and defects must be advised within 3 days of delivery (or collection). The Sellers shall not be responsible for any consequential loss or charge other than of replacing the defective unused goods.
Returns
We believe that you will be delighted with your product but there may be occasions where you feel it necessary to return an item. We aim to keep the process as simple as possible. Please contact us directly to discuss any returns within 14 working days of the date on which you receive it. The Buyer will be responsible for the item or items until they reach the Seller. For the protection of the Seller, the Buyer suggests a secure delivery method is used that requires a signature upon delivery. If the Buyer returns an item to the Seller which is faulty, or that the Buyer did not order or for any other reason which is the fault of the Seller, the Seller will pay you the cost of the return postage. In such circumstances, please telephone or e-mail the Seller in the first instance and we will let you know how you should send the item to us. All refunds will be paid within 30 days of cancellation of order.
In the event of return for reasons other than faults, a 15% re-stock fee may be applied by the seller. Re-stock fees are in place to cover inspection of the returned items.
Please note: If the order is specified as being a “special order” (Often in the case of Tecarc machines), the buyer will be notified prior to shipping and returns will not be accepted unless the machine is deemed to be faulty.
