How will I know that you`ve received my order?
After your order has passed through our security checks we will send you a confirmation email detailing the exact order received.

How will I know if the order has been sent?
The details of your order will be sent to our warehouse. Once they`ve packaged your order and sent it out, we`ll send you another email to let you know that it`s on its way. The timing of this email will depend on the delivery option you`ve chosen.

How do I track the delivery of my order?
Once your order has left our warehouse, you can track its progress online. Simply click on `My Account` in the top menu bar and you will be asked for your email address and the password you set up when ordering. Once you`ve entered these, you`ll see a list of your current orders. If the order has been despatched, you`ll see an order tracking number alongside it. Use this tracking number to find out how your order is progressing. You`ll see a status against your order to tell you what has happened to it. The status will be one of the following

Pending: We have the order but haven`t started to process it. You can cancel the order when this status is shown.
Processing: We are processing your order. Your order might be at any point between us sending the order to the warehouse and the warehouse being ready to despatch it.
Despatched:
We have despatched your order. You`ll receive an email confirming this and giving you a tracking number.
Cancelled: Your order has been cancelled by either you or us.

How do I get an invoice or VAT receipt?
You can obtain a VAT receipt by clicking on `My Account` which will take you through to a list of all the orders you have placed. Simply click on the order number in question and you will be taken to a screen that shows the option to `View Receipt`. Click on `View Receipt` and you will be able to view and print (if appropriate). This invoice also acts as a VAT receipt. If you have any difficulties please contact our Customer Service team who will be happy to assist you.

If you already know what you want to purchase, you can go straight to the product by using Search. You can type in the product name, or the product code if you know it. Or you may wish simply to browse by using Search.

Search Tips

Try to find a balance between being too broad or too narrow with your search request. e.g. bathroom scaleswill return many results – glass bathroom scales will return fewer.

Refine your search if you have too many results – these can be sorted alphabetically or by price. Simply click on the ‘sort alphabetically’ or ‘sort by price’ link.

Check your spelling.
