How do I make a purchase?

Once you have found what you are looking for, select size and quantity and click ‘ADD TO BASKET’. Review your selected items by clicking the BASKET symbol in the top right corner of the page. You can remove items from your shopping basket at any time during your visit.
When you have decided what you would like to purchase, hover on the BASKET symbol to either review your items by clicking on ‘BASKET’ or click on the ‘CHECKOUT’ button to buy your items, then complete your purchase.

Is is safe to use my credit card on your website?
We use the latest SSL encryption technology to transmit your personal and credit card information through our systems. All orders are processed through a secure checkout system provided by Sagepay. For your safety and protection, we will confirm that the billing address you provide matches the address registered with your credit card company.

To find out more visit the MasterCard® SecureCode™ and Verified by Visa websites. Once you have registered and created your own private password with your card issuer, you will be prompted automatically at the checkout to provide this password each time you make a purchase.

Delivery charges for extra large items (e.g. furniture) will have to be arranged on a cost basis. Please ring us on 01962 890055 for details.
Will I have to pay customs and import charges?
It is possible you will. Any customs or import duties and taxes are charged by local customs agencies once the parcel reaches its destination country. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel.
V.A.T is automatically removed for orders with a destination outside of the UK. You will need to pay the V.A.T applicable to your destination.
We have no control over these charges and cannot tell you what they will cost as customs policies, import duties and V.A.T vary widely in each country and are set out by the recipient country, not by the UK. It is the customer's responsibility to understand any additional payments required on your purchase, so do contact your local customs office for current charges before you order.
If any parcels are returned to us due to customs charges being higher than expected, we reserve the right to deduct from your refund any costs we incur.
What can I do if something is wrong with my order?
If you receive the wrong item or something is missing from your order please send us an email to online@thehambledon.com and we will sort it out.
