Choose your maximum despatch time carefully. If you choose 'send today' we will ONLY send items that we have in stock the moment we receive your order. If you choose 'send within 5 / 10 working days' we will try to restock any missing items in your order for 5 / 10 days. This DOES NOT mean that we will hold your order for 5 / 10 days - we will send it as soon as it is complete.

To see the postage charges, choose your 'postage zone' from the drop down menu (click the down arrow) and finally click 'checkout'.

A new window will open, connected to our secure site allowing you to enter your personal information safely. Enter your e-mail address and password (you will have to create a password if this is your first time shopping with us), then enter your address and payment details. Finally you will reach the confirm page where you can check that your order and details are correct before hitting confirm and completing your order.
