PAYING BY BANK TRANSFER

Scroll down or click here to go to Bank Details

The advantages of paying by bank transfer are:

• No credit cards are involved, you log into YOUR bank account at YOUR bank, the service is free, you don't even have to 'register' (assuming you already use online banking).

• Unlike credit card we do not have to ship to the cardholder's address
  
• Most banks now offer Faster Payments (within the UK) - the money will be in our account within two hours, scroll down or click here for list of banks

• Once you have entered our bank details you can 'SAVE' them. Then, the next time you order, merely log into your bank account and click MAKE A PAYMENT > PAY QUICKTEST > [enter amount] > CONFIRM

• We are keen to encourage these transfers and will send UK orders of over £100.00 post-free, scroll down or click here for details.

Overseas Customers must pay in Pounds (GBP)* If your bank transfers your currency and our bank converts it to GBP there will be a charge, you must pay this charge.
* I use the international abbreviation "GBP" rather than the symbol "£" because the "£" sign does not display or print on many computers outside the U.K.

HOW TO MAKE THE TRANSFER

Log into your bank account online. Each bank will have a slightly different process, but it will be basically: select MAKE BANK TRANSFER, fill in our Sort Code, our Account Number and the amount, click CONFIRM.

Ensure you transfer GBP (British Pounds) and that you pay any charges (check with your bank).

If you are NOT transferring the money over the intenet (you ask your bank to make the transfer) and if your bank is using an 'intermediary bank' in the UK which is NOT HSBC, we will be charged GBP 12.00, so you must add GBP 12.00 to the amount you are paying. Confused? - then ask your bank.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

AFTER you have made the transfer email to tell us that you have paid.  Include, in your email, any number that will make sense to us e.g. order number or invoice number
or
if we have sent you an email with the order details, click REPLY and type "Paid".

TIP: if the name of your bank account is different from the name you used when placing the order, you must TELL us, otherwise we won't know the payment is from you.
