When we have received payment in full for each relevant order placed by you, together with the cost of any associated delivery charges, we will issue you with a despatch email, and only at this time is your order accepted by us.
Your order will be delivered by a courier as set out in the delivery details of the individual website you have placed an order on.
We reserve the right to refuse orders prior to acceptance and will not be required to provide an explanation.
All items are subject to availability. We will inform you as soon as possible if the goods you have ordered are not available.
