Making A Purchase
Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping basket. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Switch, Solo, Maestro, Amex, Diners & Delta. You may send your credit card information via phone, fax, snail mail or over the Internet separately if you wish. We have recently introduced Paypal as a payment option. Simply proceed with your order normally and you will be offered this payment option in the checkout stage. All orders are processed through Sagepay (formerly Protx) using 128 bit SSL encryption for your safety.
If you have made a mistake in your order and cannot correct it in the shopping cart, contact us and we will correct the mistake.
When you place an order to purchase a product from dawsons.co.uk, we will send you an e-mail confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order. When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. However, we do have the right to terminate the contract in the event that the goods are unavailable, mis-priced or cleared funds are not received. Dawsons takes payment immediately by authorising and settling all transactions as soon as the customer's address has been verified by their issuing bank. If a product is not available to dispatch at the time of the order, the payment taken will be regarded as a prepayment. This is for our security as well as yours. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable. |
Shipping And Handling
The majority of our orders are shipped by TNT. We charge just £9.99 for most deliveries within the UK mainland, and this also includes Free Insurance UP TO £1000. (For certain small, light items you will find a £3.50 Recorded Delivery option available at the checkout area). If you live outside this area or have any questions then please e-mail us or call us prior to placing your order. We can give you an accurate quotation for carriage by return email.
On certain large, heavy items we reserve the right to charge you additional amounts but we will inform you of this prior to despatch to give you the option to cancel. Delivery is by Carrier or Royal Mail Record Delivery and must be signed for by yourself. If you wish an order to be signed for by a neighbour then please let us know on the relevant section on the order form.
Based on feedback from our customers we now offer an option to request delivery to an alternative address. However we will make several checks before the decision is actually made to send the goods to this nominated alternative address. We do reserve the right to not deliver to this alternative address under certain circumstances, but we will contact you by email, should we reach this decision.
