Add to your Basket

The Basket is where you store items you intend to buy; you can always remove items from the Basket if you change your mind. When you find what you want click the ‘Add to Basket’ button on the item's product information page.

You will then see the item listed in your Basket. To select another item for your Basket press the ‘Continue Shopping’ button and repeat process. You can change the details of your basket at any time before proceeding to purchase. If you want to change the quantity you’ve ordered just type how many you want in the quantity box. If you wish to remove the item altogether just tick the remove box next to that item. To reflect these changes press the button 'Click here to update your basket'.

The delivery charge for your order is displayed as you fill out your basket. Note if you amend you order the delivery charge will also change when you update your basket. This is because delivery charge is based on weight of the products. For all orders over £500, excluding VAT, delivery is free within mainland UK.

When you have finished filling your basket click the "checkout" button to fill out your order.
