Can I collect goods in person?
Pickup of the order in person is not possible at the moment.
What are discount coupons?
During many of our promotional campaigns we offer discount coupons to our customers. They take the form of codes which should be entered in the appropriate field in the shopping basket. This will cause the amount payable to be calculated taking account of the discount.
Remember that most discount codes have an expiry date. After this date the code becomes inactive and can no longer be used to obtain a discount.
What is the storeroom?
The storeroom is an area where you can add products that you are still thinking about. This function is available only to registered users.
If you are debating whether to buy a particular product, and you have an account with us, just log on and add the product to your storeroom. The products in the storeroom are remembered for you. When you next log on to the store, you will find all of the products you saved. At any time you can return to them, move them to the shopping basket or remove them from the storeroom.
Can I obtain a VAT invoice?

If the delivery address differs from the invoice address, mark the “Different delivery address” option on the form and state the address to which the goods are to be delivered.
The date of issue of the VAT invoice will be the date on which your order was dispatched. It is not possible to change this date.
