Terms & Conditions

Cost of Goods & Cost of Shipping

The price of all goods and services are clearly displayed. Other than the addition of postal charges which are added once you have completed your shopping, there are no hidden additional costs or low order fees. Postal fees will depend on the level of service required and the weight of the final order.

Postal costs can readily be checked at any stage of the shopping process by entering into the secure checkout area (no purchase at this stage is necessary). Available postal services, their relevant change and approximate delivery timescale will be clearly displayed.

Methods of Payment

We accept payment by cheque, postal order or credit/debit card. Bank transfer payments can also be made - please contact us for further information on this.

Discounts/Promotions

We occassionally run promotions, discounts or offers for you and your little ones. Unless specifically stated, these cannot be combined with other discounts, promotions or offers within the same order.

Delivery

Orders are usually dispatched within 24 hours of clearance of funds. Should any item be out of stock at the time of order, the order is normally part dispatched with the out of stock item following once in stock. Should there be any unforeseen delays or issues with the order we will e-mail and discuss options. We will always endeavour to ensure customer satisfaction and will do all we can to meet customer requirements where possible.

Security

All customer areas (such as accounts, entering personal details etc) are SSL secured via GeoTrust, and our security can be validated by clicking on the GeoTrust logo. These areas are defined by the https:// file path which will be displayed in the browser address bar.

All credit/debit card transactions are carried out by third party credit card processors which meet the FSA standards of UK banking. ALL payment transactions are carried out on a minimum of 128-bit encrypted SSL servers, and verification can be made by contacting the payment processors concerned.

Refunds/Returns

We offer no-quibble refund/exchange policy if the goods dispatched are faulty or not as described. We wish to ensure 100% satisfaction with our products, so if you have any concerns about our products, please contact us.

Please note: should a product be returned from outside the UK, for whatever reason, we are not liable for the duties, taxes or cost of return that may be incurred as a result. If you have a problem with an item in your delivery, please speak to us in the first instance.

Complaints

We aim to achieve 100% customer satisfaction. However, if something does go wrong, we will do all we can to put the situation right within our capabilities.

Data protection & Privacy

We are registered with the Data Protection Agency, and abide by the guidelines issued by them.

We do not pass on, discuss or sell ANY customer details to ANY third party unless required to do so by law.

There is one exception, of course - we do provide delivery address and telephone number (when provided) to our courier company for the sole purpose of delivering the order. The telephone number is only required in case of delivery issues (for example, if the driver can't find an address and gets lost!), and this delivery information is not passed to any third party, again unless required to do so by law.
