Shipping charges are subject of VAT (sales tax) at the same rate, as the goods shipped, currently 20% for UK and EC customers and tax free for all other customers. This is the requirement of Customs and Excise, for more details contact your local Customs and Excise office.

In case you order more than one item and not not items are available from stock, we will do a partial shipping of the items that are available first and complete the order as soon as possible. The number of shippings we do does not change the total amount charged to the customer for shipping. If you do not want to receive a partial shipping - please indicate that in the special instructions section during ordering.



Overseas customers

All our prices are shown and invoices are issued in British Pound Sterling £ (GBP)

When you pay for goods by a credit card, YOUR credit card company automatically converts our GBP price into your currency, for example $. The exchange rates used by YOUR credit card company may vary daily and we are unable to tell you exactly how many $ your credit card company will charge you. That is totally beyond our control.

For current exchange rates you may use XE online currency converter

If you however wish to find out the EXACT price in $ you should :
  • Call your credit card company and find out if they apply any charges for currency conversion
  • Ask for the GBP exchange rate of the day. (Typically a number between 1.2 and 1.5)
  • Multiply that number by our price in GBP
Alternatively you may not worry about it, since the difference between the approximate US$ price and the price shown on your statement will probably be less than the cost of your phone call.



Returns policy

Goods have to be returned in the unused condition and the original stock packaging (Shoe box/ CD case/DVD case, etc.) has to be included.
