Ordering & Cancelling Orders

Our order process. Our shopping pages will guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order with us. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.

How we will accept your order. After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order and inform you of your order. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.  Our acceptance of your order will take place as described below.

We will confirm our acceptance of your order to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the products have been dispatched or, in the case of Click and Collect, are ready for collection from your nominated store (“Dispatch Confirmation”). Your order is accepted by us and a Contract is formed between us when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order or are unable to supply you with a product we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. There are a number or reasons why we may be unable to accept your order or supply a Product, for example:

• The product is not in stock or no longer available;
