Payment Security

Paying for goods online is a major concern for many people. The biggest fraud type in the UK is card-not-present fraud, which cost £183.2m in 2005. Using your credit or debit card online is often a worrying process as unless you are using one of the big shops you cannot guarantee the level of security that the site you are on uses.

We use third party payment providers for all of our card transactions and offer a selection to choose from. Global customers can pick from either Paypal or Nochex whilst UK customers have the added benefit of also being able to pay by UK cheque or using the revolutionary new Payoffline system sposored by the Alliance and Leicester.

By using thrid party payment solutions we can ensure that we are not privvy to your card information at any stage of the payment process as you will move from our site to either the Paypal or Nochex site to enter your payment details. Using this system we can rely on their sophisticated security measures to ensure the privacy of your data and you can rest assuresd that no-one has access to your information.

Online Payment Options

Both paypal and Nochex offer secure credit card payment systems. Most interenet users will be familiar with paypal and you can use your paypal account to pay for goods on our site or use your card details to pay for an order.

Nochex is a UK payment system similar in principle to paypal, the added benefit for you is that you can use debit cards and switch cards.

Both sites use cutting edge security techniques and both are regulated by financial regulatory authorities who oversee their security measures.
