Making A Purchase

Making a purchase could not be easier. Simply browse the website, add any items you wish to purchase to your basket, and head to the checkout to complete your purchase. Please note: When registering your account, all fields marked with a red * are compulsory fill-in fields, as this information is necessary to complete your order.

Payment

We accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, and debit cards. School customers will be eligible for the invoice payment option at the checkout. Please ensure that both the billing and delivery addresses are both schools to be offered this payment method.

For credit card security purposes, please ensure that if you pay by credit or debit card that you enter the cardholder's home address details in the invoice address section. You may still have the order sent to your school address by specifying a different delivery address.
