Payment Options
What payment methods to do accept?
We currently accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal.
In what currency are products charged?
Although our site can display prices in different currencies, all products are charged in Euro. When you get to the checkout, it will display the price in Euro, along with the approximate price in whichever currency you've chosen.
How are prices in other currencies calculated?
The prices shown are calculated on a daily basis and are based off exchange rates for that day. Please note that these are only an approximate price and you will still be charged in the fixed Euro price.
When will I be charged for my order?
Payment for order will be captured when we dispatch your items. Please note: Although we DO NOT charge the transaction until goods are actually dispatched, some banks reflect the value of the order against your available balance immediately. In this case we have not actually captured the payment; the bank have merely 'reserved' the funds for us. This process is perfectly normal and is referred to as 'pre-authorisation'.
