We accept most major credit/debit cards for individual transactions to the value of £25,000 (inc. VAT), provided that the card is registered to the confirmed delivery address and the payment is 3D secure (Verified by Visa / Mastercard SecureCode).
What should I do if my card was declined when placing an order?
There can be number of reasons for your card to be declined:
1. There is not enough credit on the card. Please can you try using a different one.
2. Your bank could impose a single transaction limit to your card, or if you do not usually shop with us, they may have prevented the transaction as being out of shopping pattern. We have found that the latter option is very likely if you have fraud protection enabled on your card.
3. Please make sure all of your details entered are identical to those on the card. Make sure that the billing address is the card registered address.
Are receipts sent with deliveries?
Yes. A full VAT invoice is provided for all orders.
