Simply browse our store, add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. When you have finished your shopping, click on ‘Checkout’ and you will then need to provide us with a few details that we need to be able to complete the order. Any advertised discounts will be automatically applied to your shopping cart before payment details are required.

We accept the following on-line payment methods via our 128bit Secure Payment Gateway – Stripe 

Credit Card, Debit Card

If you prefer to pay by Bank Transfer, simply place your order online, and instead of entering credit or debit card details you can choose ‘proforma invoice’ we will email you a ‘pre-invoice’.

Upon receipt of payment, your order will be dispatched. If you wish to pay by credit card, but do not wish to pay online, simply submit your order online in the usual way and choose ‘proforma invoice’ as your method of payment then call us up with the last four digits of your internet order number and your payment details.

If you have made a mistake in your order and cannot correct it in the shopping cart? Please contact us immediately and we will correct this for you.

When you receive our confirmation of order, this is to advise you that we have received your order. It does not mean that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. This term has been included to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, if we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product because it has been discontinued etc. In there has been a change in the price, we will contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Delivery

Most of our products are held in stock. Providing orders are received before 3pm (Monday to Friday) we endeavour to despatch the same day via our nominated Courier, usually DPD. If your order has been sent with DPD and you have provided a mobile phone number when checking out, on the day of delivery you should receive an email and text message advising a 1 hour delivery window. Please note that this service is provided by our courier and not ourselves. We are currently unable to offer this service on larger or special order items. Regrettably, the delivery window alert is not available for remote and offshore areas of the UK. Please note that we cannot be held liable for any deliveries not made due to customer not being in to receive delivery regardless of whether the delivery attempt is made within the 1-hour window or not. Please remember that the 1-hour window is a ‘best estimate’ and not a guarantee by the courier. Please ensure that your email address and mobile phone number are entered correctly and that your spam settings do not block our courier’s emails. epos-tills4less cannot be held responsible for any emails or text messages not being received.

If there is an unforeseen problem with your order we will endeavor to contact you as quickly as possible. Please make sure you are in to receive your delivery. Re-delivery costs incurred by no-one being available to sign for the goods, or through incorrect delivery information being submitted will be passed onto the customer. Neither epos-tills4less or the couriers we use can be held liable for any costs or inconveniences incurred through delays to delivery. If you decide not to receive the delivery in the permissible period we reserve the right to charge a handling fee of £20 + VAT to cover our administration and delivery costs, as we are not entitled to any refund from the courtiers in these circumstances. We guarantee that all non-custom deliveries will be made within the published mail order guidelines of 28 days. If you have not received your order within 28 days we will cancel your order if you are not satisfied and refund you in full (this does not apply to long lead time custom print jobs or special order non-stock items).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON DAMAGES

In the unfortunate event of your consignment having minor damage upon delivery, then please make a note of the extent of the damages on the driver’s delivery note when signing for the goods. Please contact us immediately to report the damage. If the damage is severe then please reject the whole delivery and immediately contact us for a replacement consignment. Any damages or shortages must be reported within 24 hours of receipt of goods. Deliveries signed for ‘Unchecked’ are treated as being received in good condition.
