AM I TAKING A CHANCE ORDERING GOODS FROM A COMPANY
THAT I HAVE NEVER USED?
No. Remember that any purchase you make from us using your credit card

Company is jointly liable for any failure on our part in supplying goods
to you. In other words, if we fail to deliver, you don't have to pay!
We are also legally bound by the Sale of Goods Act and EU Distance Selling
Regulations, which all web based retailers must comply with. These regulations
have been designed to protect you the CONSUMER!

only in the case of a confirmed order to enable goods to be dispatched
to you directly by a third party. The type of information we collect about
you includes name, address, telephone number and e-mail address. We never
collect sensitive information about you and the information we hold will
be accurate and upto date. Your credit/debit card information is NOT STORED
anywhere and you will need to re-input it every time you order. What information
we do hold about you will be held securely in accordance the Data Protection
Act 1998 - our registration number is: Z8944728. If you do have any queries
about privacy matters please contact Ahmed Khan on 0191 420 2809 or e-mail

with a confirmed order. From time to time we will run special promotions,
details of which will be sent to customers on our mailing list. Before

stage of ordering for your consent. If at any time you wish to be added/removed

WHAT HAPPENS IF I TAKE DELIVERY OF AN ITEM AND
DECIDE IT IS NOT SUITABLE?
We want you to be satisfied with your purchases every time you do business
with us. So to make things simple we offer a “NO QUIBBLES GUARANTEE”.
If for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase simply tell us upon
receipt of the goods and return them in their original condition within
10 days (14 days if you live outside the UK) - we will then issue a full
refund. If you are returning goods as a result of our error, we will also
refund the delivery charge. To make a return, please wrap the goods in
secure packaging enclosing a note telling us why you are returning them.
Please obtain a written receipt from whomever you chose to return the
goods with (i.e. proof of postage). This guarantee is given in addition
to your statutory rights.

ARE THERE ANY PLANS TO EXTEND THE RANGE OF PRODUCTS
YOU OFFER?
Yes we will. Given the fact that Health and Safety Legislation continually
changes as do fashion trends, it is highly likely that we will add additional
products to our range. New products will be posted on our
LATEST NEWS section prior to being incorporated into our ON-LINE
STORE.
Back to Top
DO YOU PRODUCE A PRINTED BROCHURE?
Our product range is changing all the time and we have found that as soon
as we produce a brochure new products are being added to it, this means
that you have to wait till the next brochure is printed before you can
see what new products are available - not a good thing! What we tend to
do is produce smaller leaflets more frequently and these are sent direct
to our existing customers, however, we do intend producing a series of
small brochures in due course. Each brochure will cover a specific group
of products i.e. chefswear, healthcare clothing, hi viz garments, footwear
and personal protective equipment etc. This will ensure that the customer
receives a more relevant brochure tailored to his/her specific needs.
We will also be able to quickly re-print them as required.

HOW DO I ORDER?
Our ordering system is easy to follow and has been specially designed
to save you time and effort. We have a secure online ordering system in
our ON-LINE STORE. It is just like shopping
at your local supermarket. You can add or remove any item you wish to
your shopping cart (trolley). When you have finished, you complete the
order by checking out. At this stage you will be asked to provide your
delivery and payment details. You can either enter your credit/debit card
details or opt to send them separately by fax, telephone or post.
Back to Top
CAN I ORDER BY TELEPHONE OR FAX?
Yes you can, simply fax or telephone your order to us at your convenience.
We will need the PRODUCT CODE(S), QUANTITY REQUIRED, DELIVERY/INVOICE
ADDRESS & YOUR PAYMENT DETAILS. This service is available 9am to 5.30pm
Monday to Friday & 0930am to 4pm on Saturday. Outside these hours
