3.Payment
We accept payment online via PayPal or via telephone ordering. By placing an order you consent to payment being charged to your credit card as detailed at the time of your order. Upon payment and acceptance of the goods, title to the goods will pass to you.

4. Delivery
Despatch of all in stock orders will be made within approx. 5-10 working days. If you have an urgent requirement please contact us – we always try and help. If for any reason the timescales cannot be honoured you will be kept informed.

Delivery charges are calculated automatically according to your address and value of order – when free shipping may apply.  Delivery charges are added when you add to your shopping cart. Goods are despatched using our nominated parcel carrier or collected by the customer.

Where delivery is made by our parcel carrier, the delivery charge is for 1 attempted delivery only. Should you not be in to receive delivery, and have not provided us with alternative delivery instructions, a card will be left and your order will be taken back to the parcel carrier’s local depot. You should call to arrange redelivery within 5 working days. If you do not arrange redelivery within this time, your parcel maybe returned to Photo-mounts and you will be charged for redelivery. If you request re-delivery to a different address, then we may levy an additional charge of £5.00 to cover the cost charged to us by our parcel carrier. It is strongly advised, therefore, that alternative delivery instructions are provided to us at point of order.

You are responsible for payment of any local customs and import duties.
We ask that, should your item fail to arrive in the allotted timescale, you advise us by email or call us as soon as possible so that we may investigate with the parcel carriers. Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only and we will not be liable for any delay. It is your responsibility to ensure that you order from us in adequate time to prevent any disappointment resulting from late shipment.

Consolidating orders to reduce delivery charge.  On occasion, you may find that you need to add to your order after it has been placed. In these circumstances, we ask that you submit another order online. If this is done on the SAME DAY as the original order we will be able to consolidate the two, thereby reducing the overall delivery charge. Where orders are placed on different days it is not always possible to offer this consolidation service due to the high level of administrative work required.
