Methods of Payment

You can telephone us and place your card order with one of our assistants during office hours or you can fax your card details through to us or post them in (see the bottom of each web-page to telephone, fax or post an order in).  If you want to place your order on-line we use Paypal's High Security Credit Card Handling System. Paypal is ideal for both overseas and U.K. clients. Orders are despatched immediately we receive payment from Paypal, usually within hours.  We will process as speedily as possible and email you with an acknowledgement at the moment of despatch as usual so you know where you are.

You do not have to join Paypal or register to use their card handling system - it is just like any other shopping cart but extra-secure. There is no charge for you to use it.  Just hit the Buy-Now buttons on our website and everything will be taken care of.  If you choose to use your credit/debit card via Paypal then we never see your card details (Paypal keep them secret) and  you benefit from their state of the art maximum encryption ordering system.   (Note: If you are ordering from outside the U.K. Paypal will automatically compute the U.K. price into your home currency at the best rates for you making things extra easy.)

Anyone can pay us using any credit or debit card from anywhere in the world using Paypal's Secure Payment System.

Simply hit the Buy Now buttons shown on each page on this website to order one or more of those items. This is a fast and easy method if ordering for most of our range.

Exceptions: Our website is in constant development and not all of our pages have yet been implemented for use with Paypal If you find a page with no Buy-now buttons you can send us your order by email and pay the total of the order by using the Buy-Pennies button below.

Outstanding Credits: Established mail-order clients who post written orders in to us may have existing credit outstanding on their account from their last transaction. The way to incorporate these credits into your on-line order is to not use any of the buy-now buttons on the website but list all the items you require in an email. Total the order up - deduct the credit you have in your account and use the Buy-Pennies button below to send us the balance. Straightaway email us your order and we will balance up your account and confirm despatch of your order by email. To make sure you don't miss anything off your order it is wise to copy and paste the orderform on www.sorcerers-apprentice.co.uk/orderfor.htm into an email. then fill in all the details on the form and list the items you require. All prices on our website include U.K. post and packing but if you live outside the U.K. the order form will show if there is any extra airmail costs to add.   In the credit card section of the form type 'Paying by Paypal.' Make sure you put the words ' 'SA666 - PAYPAL ORDER' as the subject heading for the email. Total the order and email a copy of it to us at:  


Now hit the 'Buy-Pennies' paypal button below and input the money you want to send us(or use the Buy-Pennies button on the bottom of the order form). This will take you through to the Paypal Shopping Cart Service where you can enter the total amount of money you want to send us.  For example, if the total of  the order you want to place is  £89.67 then enter 8967 in the quantity column. As soon as Paypal transfer the 89.67, usually within hours, we will despatch the goods listed in the Orderform you emailed to us. We will confirm despatch of your order to the emaill address you used when sending your order to us. Using Paypal this way is just like ordering a Money or Postal Order except that you don't get charged for it (the Paypal service is free to purchasers).  The idea is that you are remitting for the total amount of the order you want to place and so  you should enter the number of pennies you want to send us in the quantity box and press the update button and then email us your order separately. We will then confirm despatch to you by email.   

For multiple item/compound orders which you want to pay for by ANY credit or Debit card Via Paypal: Whether you live in the U.K. or Overseas please compile your order, add up the total, then click this 'Buy-Pennies' button to move to the Paypal Shopping Cart System. Enter the quantity of pennies which equates with the total of money you want to send. (e.g. £24.95 = 2495 pennies) Then email us your order. As soon as Paypal transfer the money we will confirm despatch of your goods by email.  Try it.


Terms:  Our standard Terms of Business apply. In addition the following apply to Paypal orders. All the goods we advertise are here on the shelves for by-return despatch. If for some reason an item is temporarily out of stock due to cyclic refills we will credit you with the difference, send on the rest of the items with a statement of your account showing unspent monies. We will then complete your order with a second delivery as soon as refills of the book or item arrive back into stock. If you decide not to wait for refills and ask us to return the excess credit to you by Paypal we will do so but will deduct 5% of the total of your oustanding credit to cover Paypal's money handling charges.

We look forward to assisting you in your spiritual quest.
