Our acceptance of an order takes place when we dispatch the items to you. Acceptance of your order may be dependant on stock availability. We will endeavour to contact you by email in the event of products being out of stock with our supplier or there being a delay in delivery to us of more than 10 working days from the day after the order is placed or in any case within the statutory 30 days. In this situation a substitute product or refund will be offered. We will pay the cost of your returning any substitute products not wanted. If an order contains several items, of which only some are in stock we may deliver these items separately with no extra delivery cost to you. We will notify you by email of a partial dispatch.
