Orders will be paid for based on your pre-agreed terms. For new customers, we require an account application to be filled out once your online order has been received and payment terms will be agreed once your application has been accepted. We accept all major credit and debit cards (excluding American Express) by BACs and cheque. If you would like to fill out an account application, it is available to download here. Completed account application forms can be sent to us via email, fax or post.

Once you have received an order confirmation from us, your order will have been inputted into our back office system and can no longer be amended through the website. If you do wish to amend your order please contact us, and as long as your order hasn't been sent to the warehouse for packing we can update your order for you. Please note: we cannot guarantee changes to an order once it has been placed as it may be already processed.

• A discontinued item is no longer in stock - in this instance, we will cancel the item and you will not be charged for it. The website should notify you this at the point of order, but occasionally an item will show as in stock when it isn't. In this case we will cancel the item at point of dispatch and you will not be charged.
• A current item is no longer in stock - in this instance the website will tell you the item is being held on a backorder, however the final charge on your order confirmation will include the out of stock item. When we dispatch the order, we will only take payment for those items on the delivery note.
• The payment authorization on your card, will hold funds for the total order with your bank, but we only take payment for what we send you. This means, you will only pay for what you have been invoiced and this can be less than the original amount authorized. Since items move in and out of our warehouse very quickly, our stock figures can and do change between order placement and dispatch, therefore we have this system in place to ensure you receive as much of your order as possible.
