We have considerably reduced our workforce in our warehouse and have strict measures in place to follow all government guidelines. The safety of our employees and customers is paramount and we are taking every measure to ensure we can operate as best as possible. We look forward to returning to normal as soon as the time is right. Take Care.

VAT Free Explained:
For all VAT Free offers, prices have been reduced in the promotion with a discount which is equal to VAT Free (16.66%). Therefore it is equivalent to not having to pay the VAT. VAT is still applied to the order at the current rate of 20%.

For example, if you order an item costing £10 ex VAT. The total you would normally pay is £12 inc VAT. When we are running a VAT FREE promotion, we reduce the price of the item by 16.66% to £8.33. Therefore when we add on the VAT, the total you pay is £10 which would be the original price ex VAT.

Standard mainland UK delivery will be charged at £4.95 + VAT unless stated otherwise. Additional carriage charges may apply for large or heavy items, or items sent directly from our supplier.  VAT Free offers can only be used on the website or through our Call Centre.

Issuing a replacement is something that occurs under the original agreement and it does not mean that you receive a new warranty.
