How do I know it is safe to place credit card details and personal details on this website?
We are very careful with your security. The most important identification to you that the website is safe is the lock sign that appears on your browser once you enter the checkout area. This signifies that the site has been certified as using a secure SSL server, which means that the data you input is encrypted such that no-one can intercept the data as you enter it, and that it is held securely once you have entered it. Further than that, we use Secure Hosting to process all credit and debit card data for us. They are the preferred payment gateway of "Safebuy" the UK's leading accreditation scheme for web retailers. They are fully approved by all the major banks, and we never see your card details - we just approve the transaction once we are ready to despatch to you.
Furthermore, we use the "Verified by Visa" and "Mastercard Securecode" process to re-direct you to your bank after you have entered your card details and before the transaction is completed. Because only you know the passwords etc., that you have set up with the bank, only the genuine cardholder can complete the codes which allows the transaction to complete successfully. At that point you are returned to our website and we can confirm the process is complete and the order has been successfully placed.
You can also check that we are a fully legitimate business. We are listed in all standard directories at the address shown on our contacts page and with the telephone number shown there and at the top of every page of our website. You are welcome to call us (0800 5677850) and ask any questions you wish. We are also registered at Companies House with the England Company number 07867514.
