We’re very pleased to announce that our new Shopping Basket went live this morning. Hopefully, this will make everyone’s job just that little bit easier. There’ll be no more writing down item numbers, emailing us the details, and waiting for us to send you back a PayPal invoice. From now on, you can browse through the catalogue, add what ever you wish to your basket as you go, and pay when you are ready.

The shopping basket will speed up the order process and allow us to get the goods to you much more quickly. A few points worth noting:

• We still use PayPal to accept all payments. However, you do not need to have a PayPal account. If you choose, you can simply enter your credit or debit card details in place of a PayPal ID. After entering your name and address information, you will be automatically directed to PayPal, where you can pay your invoice.
• Anyone who has problems using PayPal (for example: some corporate credit cards block PayPal payments) should contact us for details on how to pay by Bank Transfer. You can still use the shopping basket, but we need to direct you to an alternate payment page.
• All pages on our site that ask for personal information (name and address, for example) are encrypted, so there is no danger that this information will fall into the wrong hands.
• Postage and delivery costs are calculated as you add items to your basket, and are based on weight. The difference in postage costs between countries is low, and for this reason we have chosen to charge the same, regardless of destination. There is a special discount for UK and Irish buyers where the total purchase amount is above £250. Details can be found by clicking on the Delivery link on the shopping basket page.
• The shopping basket will not allow you to buy any item that has run out of stock. For example, if you order 10 of a particular necklace and we only have 8 remaining, the shopping basket will tell you and allow you to change the amount.

Now that the site changes are complete, we will be putting up a range of new stock from our restocking trip a couple of weeks ago. All the new stock will appear at the front of any catalogue page.

One final change we made to the site is the addition of a FAQ page. This page answers many of the more commonly asked questions, and should keep you informed a lot quicker than we can by email. If you have any questions not answered here, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
