How we Operate

ON THE “KISS” PRINCIPAL - EVEN NICER AND MORE SIMPLE!!!!

From the Quartermaster; David Lonsdale.

REGISTERING INTO THE WEBSITE

The FIRST thing that you need to do is Register into the Website itself.

When you do so, we shall ask you various options. This is so we do not unnecessarily e-mail you unwanted information but only that which you would like to receive.

Once you have logged in the first time; should you visit us again, then the hassle has been done.

PURCHASES

The system guides you in respect of any item or items that you might be interested in. It is easy to revise your ‘Wants’ List before letting us know your Final Choices.

We then take your ‘Pro Forma’ Invoice and add in the costs of shipment to you which we can assess from your delivery address. We need also to double check the status of the item/s that you want; just to make sure that we still have them in stock.

We shall then send you a Final Statement of Account; giving you the Best and Least Expensive ways of making payment to us.

When we have received your payment; the goods will be despatched to you and at the same time an e-mail will be sent off to you confirming same.

If for some reason you are not completely happy with your new purchase/s; then return it to us within 14 days and we shall refund you your full outlay. Good Hunting!!!!

ITEMS THAT YOU MAY WISH TO SELL
