What happens when you place an order with us?

Placing an order with us has a number of processes to go through before you receive your goods, at the moment you ‘checkout’ and pay for the order the beginning of your contract with us starts. The key steps are:

There is no obligation on us to supply any other products that were part of the order until we have possession of those goods and they are available for dispatch.

As a consumer you are entitled to cancel your order (subject to clause 7.1-7.6) within 14 days that begins on the day after you receive your goods.
