General Website Terms & Conditions

Please note that while we do our best to ensure all information on the website is accurate and up to date, errors can occur. These can be more apparent during events and high volume periods.

We reserve the right at our discretion to cancel or decline orders. This can happen when items are out of stock, if they oversell (this can happen during events when multiple people attempt to check out at once,) when we can no longer honor a sale price, when items are incorrectly priced, when an item description incorrectly matches the product in question or when an item is discontinued by a brand.

We reserve the right to change our terms & conditions at our discretion and without prior warning.

Use of our website assumes all terms & conditions are agreed upon.

Order Processing Times

We aim to dispatch all in stock items in three to five working days. Processing times can be longer during high volume times, during holidays and due to adverse weather conditions.
