Terms & Conditions
Making A Purchase Purchasing from A1 Items Ltd should be a pleasure. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.
We may contact you before processing your order if we require confirmation or clarification of your requirements. Your order will be processed promptly upon receipt of your reply and normally be dispatched in next 3-5 working day.

We accept all major credit/debit card payment. If you are shopping from outside the UK your credit card company will convert the transaction to your own currency.
We accept all major credit/debit cards. We do not charge for any item until it is ready to ship or be engraved. Backordered items are not charged until they are shipped. You may send your credit card information via phone, fax or over the Internet. A bank approved Java encryption system is used to protect your credit card details over the internet for your security. If however you would still prefer not to send your cards details in this way please telephone or post them through. We do not advise using email for security reasons.
When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
Shipping And Handling Deliveries are normally made by first class post/CityLink to UK mainland addresses. For addresses outside the UK mainland we will confirm delivery arrangements and cost with you before proceeding with your order or charging your account.

Back Orders If your item is not in stock, we will back order for you. You will always be emailed with the option to cancel your order if you would rather not wait.
