Age restrictions

We only accept orders from persons aged 18 or over. By placing an order, you are confirming that you are in this age range.

Residency

We only accept orders from and dispatch orders to addresses in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

Placing an order

It is your responsibility to check that your order is accurate before submitting it to us.

Pricing

All prices on this website are in pounds sterling and include VAT unless expressly stated otherwise. We take care to ensure that all pricing information on our website is accurate but occasionally there may be an error. We verify pricing at our dispatch centre. If the correct price is lower than that on the website at the time you place your order, we will charge you the lower price. If the correct price is higher than that on the website, we will try to contact you for instructions using the information provided on your order and give you the choice of cancelling your order or paying the correct price.

Promotional Codes

Promotional codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other voucher or discount code. Promotional codes cannot be used on discounted items. Promotional codes cannot be used on purchases of any codeine based products, NHS or private prescriptions, infant formula milk, nappies, Alli, Deals of the Week, Deals of the Month, Fragrances of the Week, Fragrance of the Month, Gift of the Month, Buy More Save More products and products featured within BOGSHP, BOGOF, 3 for 2 promotions, or any offer or product which we deem inappropriate for discount.

Promotional codes cannot be used in conjunction with delivery promotions, i.e. free standard delivery on orders of £35 or over. By choosing to add a discount code on such an order, this then voids the free delivery discount and applies the discount code instead.

It is the customer’s responsibility to decide which discount is most beneficial before applying any discount code. No cash alternatives are available. If you are using a threshold promotional code that takes off a percentage or amount from your order, you will be charged full price if the total goes below this threshold in the case of a cancelled item or order.

Please note: some promotional codes may only be valid for one redemption per customer.

Accuracy of Product Information

We try to ensure that all information and colours are correct at the time of their publication. However, the representation of colours on your browser may differ from the actual colours of products supplied. Any typographical, clerical or other error is subject to correction without any liability on our part. Any advice or recommendation given on this website or otherwise given to you by us, or any of our employees or agents, is followed or acted upon entirely at your own risk and we are not liable for such advice or recommendation.

Concluding a Binding Contract

When we receive an order from you to purchase items from us, we will confirm that we have received the order by email to the address provided by you in your order. Your order is an offer to purchase an item and will not be binding on us until you have received an email to confirm that we have dispatched that item to you or you receive the item.

Our professional codes of conduct and legal restrictions may limit the number of any item we are permitted to supply to you and, as such, we have no obligation to supply quantities exceeding the relevant permitted maximum and will charge only for those we do supply. We reserve the right to reject any order.

Postage and Packing Costs

We currently only ship to the United Kingdom and Channel Islands. If you are outside of this area, please contact our customer services for shipping costs to your region.

Postage and packing costs will be added to the cost of your order and will depend on the total cost of the items you order and, where delivery options are provided, the option you choose.

The postage and packaging charge you will pay will be displayed on screen before you confirm your order to us. Where multiple items are included in one order, we may dispatch the items separately, in which case, you will only be charged one postage and packing charge. If your order total drops below the £25 delivery threshold due to cancelled orders, you will be charged the standard delivery rate.

In recent times deliveries may take a little longer due to unforeseen delays. This is unfortunately outside of our control.
