Order & Delivery Questions

Are my credit card details safe?

Our secure-server software uses SSL to encrypt all your personal information, as well as your credit or debit card number.
SSL is a security protocol used for securing communications on the web.  SSL technology takes a message and runs it through a set of steps that encrypts the message.  This is done so that the message cannot be read while it is being transferred.
When the message is received by the intended recipient, SSL decrypts the message, checks that it came from the correct sender and verifies that it has not been tampered with.

What happens if I want to return some goods?

If you need to return all or part of your order then please contact us within 24 hours. Please note that we will not accept returned goods because of measurement discrepancies for which we were not responsible.
