Order Information
Free Next Working Day shipping on all UK Orders

Making an online purchase could not be easier. Just browse the website, and click on any items you wish to buy that have the "Add to Basket" button displayed in the status box, and put them into the shopping cart.

After you have finished your selection, choose the shipping option that applies to your country, and you will see the total P&P for your purchase, and then click on "Checkout".

At this point you will need to supply a few details that are needed to satisfy the order, and then you will be prompted to select your payment method. (Please note the contact telephone number requested at checkout is for use by the courier company to contact you, only when necessary to rearrange a failed delivery, and will not be used for any other purpose).

If you elect to pay by credit or debit card, you will be directed to Paypals secure payment server for online card processing (please note, a paypal account is not required).
If you wish to pay by cheque please email for details.
In the unlikely event that two people purchase the same product before the stock control system has reflected the sold status of that item, then it will be sold to the earliest purchaser, and all monies refunded to the second purchaser.

If you need to discuss a particular item or are experiencing difficulties with your purchase
Please feel free to call on : 07986 655268

If you do not wish to use the shopping cart:

Contact sales via email, include your full name and address, and indicate your preferred method of payment. We will email you back with confirmation that the item is still available, along with the total price to pay, and the item will then be reserved for you for a specific period awaiting your payment. The item will then be shown in the status field as: Reserved

Please note also, some of the heavier items for sale on the site (eg mechanical calculators) are not available through the online shopping cart as the overseas shipping charges can vary significantly according to destination. Where this is the case the 'Add to Basket' button will not be present, but the status field will show 'For Sale'. For these items you can use the email contact system as above. Payment methods are the same for both Cart and Non Cart purchases.

Shipping costs for individual items are as illustrated against each item, with different rates for UK and Overseas destinations.

(Until further notice all UK mainland orders are free, and international deliveries are subsidised)

If buying more than one item, then shipping costs will in many cases proportionately reduce, according to the total weight of the order.
