ENCRYPTION OF YOUR ORDERS IS TAKEN CARE OF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN YOU CHECK OUT YOUR SHOPPING BASKET.

For security purposes all credit card data must be sent over the internet in encrypted form and this is done for you automatically by Paypal (our card handlers) when you check-out your shopping basket on-line. Paypal use top-flight industry standard encryption so your details are totally safe with them - the system is so secure even we don't see your card details! Paypal just okay your payment and transfer the funds to us.

And remember, we handle all our production and packing securely in-house. We don't contract agencies to complete the task you set us and we don't pass your details to third parties. Everything is completed right here in house where we have strict control. We take care of you and your personal data. Thirty years service with no breaches of confidence is the best guarantee of all. Click and buy from us with confidence.

Despite minimising all possible risk and processing thousands of on-line sales some new customers can be uneasy about ordering over the net. If that's the case then you don't have to: We have accepted credit cards direct for mail order sales for over twenty years, long before the Internet was invented, and have our own merchant membership with the card companies.  If you want to sidestep the internet then simply telephone Paula our receptionist and give your order to her over the phone (dial 0113 2451309) [24hr service].

Or, print out the order form here, fill it in giving your card details and post it to us by snailmail.    We still despatch by return post but it can take a day or two extra for your order to arrive here in the post.

It is impossible for hackers to get to any of those methods.

Paying by Post: Paying by post has some advantages, for instance, if you wish to keep your purchases secret even from those close to you who may see your card or bank statement then you can pay by postal orders or cash (in a registered envelope) Details of how to do this are on the payment section of our order form

More details of alternative methods of remitting money are given here
