Making a Purchase

Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our Catalogue, and click on any items that you wish to buy and put them into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on "Order" and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to satisfy the order.

Please note that due to cost considerations, we have a minimum goods order value of GBP 10.00 (GBP 12.00 including VAT) per transaction.

Custom Leather

All Leather shades matched with our Special Matching Service are carried out under 'daylight' lighting conditions, unless otherwise requested.

Screen Colours
As colour characteristics can vary across different devices and manufacturers the shade options shown in our online shop, should be used for guidance purposes only. Sample cards for the different products we sell are available to purchase. Further information may be found here.


Shipping & Handling Charges

Prices shown on the web site do not include shipping charges - these will be calculated towards the end of the checkout process. Royal Mail 24 is not a suitable shipping option for Leather, cloth, etc. due to size limitations. Because of the wide diversity of products that we offer for sale, it is not possible to predict the exact shipping weight and cost in every case. Bulky but light consignments, for example, may need to be recalculated on a "volume-equivalent-weight" basis. Similarly, certain delicate items may require disproportionately heavy packaging, if shipped on their own. The shipping cost shown is based on typical values - if there is a significant deviation we shall notify you by email, prior to dispatch, and ask you to re-confirm the order.

We will change the carrier that a parcel is sent with only if necessary, and we may not inform you prior to dispatch of this change.

On shipments outside of the UK, an insurance charge forms part of the shipping and handling calculation. If the value of the goods ordered falls below £20.00 Sterling, then we remove the insurance charge and will ship the goods uninsured.

Dispatch and Delivery Schedule

We will normally process and dispatch your order within 5 business days. If there are likely to be any delays in fulfilling your order we will advise you of such. If you have ordered leather, we may contact you to confirm the exact costs involved prior to shipping, and ask for your confirmation to proceed with the order. 

All UK orders are typically dispatched using a trackable next day service, however we do not guarantee next day delivery from dispatch as parcels may experience delays in transit. For certain regions, such as the highlands & islands, delivery can take up to a week. 

All international orders are typically dispatched using a trackable service. We cannot guarantee a delivery date due to the nature of international shipping, however as a rough guide: 3-7 days for carrier delivery, 3-14 days for post delivery. International post orders are normally sent tracked & signed, however not every country allows this service - to view the postal services available for your country, please use this website. If your country does not support trackable post, we reserve the right to send it using an untrackable service.

Non-receipt of goods must be notified within 14 days (UK) / 30 days (International) of shipment date.

Back Orders
If your item is not in stock, we will back order for you. Should there a long expected delay, you will be contacted with the option to cancel your order if you would rather not wait.

Tax Charges

VAT @ 20% is payable on all orders that are to be delivered within the UK. All shipments destined for countries outside of the UK are not subject to tax (VAT) at checkout.

Please note, that shipments destined for countries outside of the UK (including the EU), will be subject to local import duties and taxes.
