Back to topWhy has my credit/debit card been rejected?
There are a few different reasons why this might have happened. Most common is a slight mistake in the card details entered - please double check your card number and make sure you have entered the correct CVV number (the last three digits of the number printed on the back of your card).
You card may have been rejected because the billing address entered did not match the address held by your bank. Go back to step 3 and add your card details again. Make sure all the relevant address fields are completed and that the address is the same as the one on your bank statements.
If a saved payment card has expired please use the 'add card' function to re-enter the details with an updated expiry date. You can delete old cards by using the 'remove' button on step 3 of the checkout.

I am not in the UK - will I be charged extra for delivery?
Within the EU (and sometimes elsewhere), additional customs charges and VAT are possible, but these will vary by country and by item. Depending on these criteria, it is also possible some orders may attract no additional charges at all. Please note that the responsibility to settle any excess charges will be with the recipient. We have no control over these charges and we have worked hard to supply comprehensive delivery documentation, allowing customs departments to validate that shipment. We recommend that you check with your local customs officials or post office for more information regarding importation taxes/duties that may be applicable to your online order. We appreciate your business and are determined to help you in whatever we can. Thank you!
