Delivery method - Based on times specified in the dispatch confirmation and or as agreed with the customer.
The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. Product prices include VAT.

Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error.

Payment for all Products must be by credit/debit card or other method as available on our web site. We accept payment by Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Maestro, Visa Electron and Visa Delta. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch your order.
