After going under the railway bridge and past the railway station on the left hand side, you will be in the one way system. At the third set of traffic lights turn right (at the cinema complex). Park in the Nicholson Centre Multistorey car park a short way up on the left. Walk down into the shopping centre, look for the Argos store, just past Iceland and Superdrug.

  Question: 3. How can I Pay?

  Answer:

  You can pay with cash or we accept payment by any CREDIT CARD issued by any recognised bank in the world (Mastercard, Visa, American Express but not Diners cards) and any DEBIT CARD (Maestro, Switch, Solo or Electron) issued by any recognised UK bank.

  As far as online ordering is concerned you have a number of payment options.
  You can give us your payment details online via our secure payment server or you can request us to telephone you wherever you are in the world and we will take down your card details over the phone. Either way we provide the personal touch. Once we have processed your card payment we will ship your order. PLEASE NOTE that we do not charge your card until the order is ready for despatch.

  Alternatively, payment can be made DIRECTLY INTO OUR BANK ACCOUNT either ONLINE or AT ANY BRANCH OF NATWEST BANK. Once we can see that the payment has been made into our account we will ship your order. We will give you our bank account details either over the telephone or via e-mail.

  If you prefer to PAY BY CHEQUE, we will ship your order no more than five working days after we receive your cheque in the post. If you have your cheque guarantee card details on the back, this will speed up the process.

  If you prefer to PAY BY POSTAL ORDER (denominated in Pounds Sterling), your order will be sent the day we receive payment.

  Question:4. How long will it take to ship my order?

  Answer:

  We download orders from our website constantly during each working day. As each order arrives, we check stock availability and then pick it and pack it ready for despatch. If there are any items that are not immediately available then we will telephone you and offer you the option of an alternative product, or to wait until stock of the missing item arrives, or to send out the order without that item.
  When we receive an order together with the payment details (or can make telephone contact with you before noon on the working day concerned to get them over the phone), we can usually ship the order to you on the same day for delivery the following working day. However, we never ship orders that include fresh or frozen meat or fish products on a Friday (since the next working day is Monday) unless you have requested a Saturday morning delivery (£20 delivery surcharge). If we send such an order out on Friday for Monday delivery then the order will stay in the Business Post warehouse over the weekend which is clearly not desirable. We do not offer a delivery service on Sundays or public holidays.

  Question: 5. Who will deliver my order to me and how long will it take?

  Answer:

  We utilise the national carrier Business Post for most of our UK deliveries. Our agreement with them is that they will deliver the order to you anywhere in the UK before 5.30pm on the next working day. Deliveries are usually in the morning though.
  If you have chosen your home address for the delivery of your order and you are not at home when the Business Post driver tries to deliver your order to you then a card will be left at your address advising you of the attempted delivery (unless you have given specific alternative delivery instructions such as delivering to a neighbour or leaving the parcel in a secure place on your property where it can be left safely).
  In order to avoid the possibility of not being able to deliver to your home, we are happy to either deliver to an office or business address instead or, with your agreement, deliver to a trusted neighbour. This can be discussed with you when our mail order staff telephone you to discuss your order.
  Orders that can be packed in a Jiffy bag are usually sent by Royal Mail First Class recorded delivery which reduces the delivery charge but is still usually delivered the next working day.
  International orders are either via Fedex, who offer a two day delivery service to most destinations in the world, or via Royal Mail recorded delivery which takes about five days to most destinations.

  Question: 6. How much will delivery of my order to me usually cost?

  Answer:

  The normal delivery charge for Jiffy bag deliveries up to 500g via Royal Mail recorded delivery is £2.99.
  Business Post delivery charges up to 15kg (including packaging and packing materials) to UK mainland addresses is £8.99 plus 59p per kg up to a maximum of 30kgs.
  International delivery charges vary and can be found under the Delivery Charges section of this website.

  Question: 7. How can I get my order delivered to me free of any delivery charges?

  Answer:

  As long as your delivery address is in England, Wales or Southern Scotland, and the order value of all items supplied exceeds £70 but is no more than 15kgs in weight then we will deliver your order to you free of any delivery charges. However, in the event that we are unable to supply certain items that you have ordered, and this reduces the order value to less than £70, then you will need to add other items to increase the order value to over £70 in order to qualify for free delivery.

  ---

  Question: 8. Can I get a delivery on a Saturday?

  Answer:

  As long as your delivery address is in the UK, we can deliver on a Saturday morning but there will be a £20 delivery surcharge. This is over and above any other delivery charge applicable to your order.

  ---

  Question: 9. What do I do if the product that I want is not featured on the website?

  Answer:

  The majority of the products sold in our retail store in Maidenhead are listed on the website. The only real exception to this is the arts and crafts section and the sports clothing. Although we try and keep the website listing up to date, new products are coming in all of the time and there is sometimes a delay before we get them onto the website.
  We are able to get any product that is available in the main store in South Africa and, since we have regular airfeight shipments coming in all of the time. we should be able to get any product that your heart desires. Send Mike an e-mail via the CONTACT US section of our website and he will get your product for you. Bear in mind though that such SPECIAL CUSTOMER REQUESTS can sometimes take a month to six weeks to arrive.
