What if I need to cancel an order?

For all orders placed on our website we incur bank fees and gateway provider fees. Therefore, we must pass some of this fee onto you should you choose to cancel an order.

For this purpose we will impose a small fee of 5% of the total of the order.

You will need to contact us and provide your credit card number along with the name on the card and expiry date. We require this information from you as we do not receive any of your credit card details when an order is placed.

Once an order has been sent we can no longer provide a refund. If you have failed to check delivery timeframes or simply change your mind then you must wear the cost.
