Electron cards can only be used in person at our showrooms. You may send your credit card information via phone, snail mail or over our secure server via the Internet.

All credit card numbers are encrypted in the software when the order is placed. They are only decrypted after they reach our computer. They are not held in clear text on any website whatsoever. Full security checks are carried out before goods are shipped in order to avoid credit card fraud. We reserve the right to refuse to process an order if we are not convinced that the genuine cardholder has placed the order.

Personal or business cheques are welcome but will need to be cleared before the goods are shipped.
In some cases this can take up to 14 working days from when we bank the cheque, this method is not recommended if you need the products quickly.

Bankers drafts and building society drafts are acceptable as well as postal orders. These will be cleared immediately in most cases.
You may also transfer money (or pay by cash) directly into our bank account, in which case goods will be shipped as soon as funds have cleared. Please speak to us to obtain details and procedures.

We are only able to deliver to the registered cardholders address.
Normal next day shipping is normally £10 but free of charge within mainland UK on all orders over £100.
Outlying regions of Scotland and any of the Islands are slightly more and slightly slower so please check price and time before you order.

You may wish to pay extra for a timed delivery or even a Saturday Morning delivery please phone for a specific quotation as Saturdays are quite a hefty premium.

Delivery Problems (What happens if something goes wrong):

If you are unavailable to sign for a delivery, the Courier/delivery agent will leave a card for you to contact them directly. The courier is under strict instructions not to leave the consignment at any other address whatsoever. If a parcel is not signed for, or collected from the depot within 5 days it will then be returned to us, and as the courier charges a surcharge for return this will be borne by the customer who will be liable for the shipping costs both ways.

Please note that the delivery time for certain larger/awkward items may take longer to arrive. Please allow up to 3 working days for bulky large items.
In the event of a delayed delivery or faulty goods, we accept no responsibility for loss of earnings or event cancellations, which depend on the products in question.
All shipments in transit from C.R. Services are covered by our carrier’s insurance. It is the buyers own responsibility to inspect and if necessary claim from our carriers in all cases.
Clearly marking Damaged or Broken on the carriage should suffice and the carrier needs to be informed immediately if any claim is to be made/upheld.

Yes! Our systems dispose of your card details once we have processed your order.

Our system sends a generated email to confirm your order has been placed, every time. We will also email you when the status of your order changes.

Do you offer finance?

At the moment, we are unable to find a finance company that is prepared to offer our customers competitive rates.
Most companies offering finance will charge very high interest rates or are interest free if you pay well over the odds for your item.
At present it is still easier, cheaper and quicker to pay on a credit card.
