Please Note: We have determined this information by visiting each site individually, but there may be some cases where it has not been clear from the information provided exactly which cards are accepted. However, every online store accepts at least the major credit cards. Therefore if no card is indicated, it means that the merchant does not take immediate online payment or is providing a free service.
Free Delivery, Discounts, Credit and Price Matching |
 |
|
You may see one or more of these indicators next to a merchant's name:
Free Delivery: This tells you that some kind of free delivery is offered - which may be conditional or unconditional. Examples of conditional free delivery are where you need to spend a minimum amount or order a minimum quantity. We do not include special offers such as "Free Delivery for a limited period".
Discount: As above, please be aware that discounts can be conditional or unconditional. You may need to spend a minimum amount or order a certain quantity to qualify. Special or time-limited offers are not included under this indicator.
Credit: Some form of credit is offered, which may be in the form of finance or the merchant's own
store card or budget card. Stores offering finance through a third party are also included under this indicator.
Price Matching: This indicates that the merchant promises to match or beat the price of a product or service that you may find elsewhere.
We hope this information provides a useful guide when you are in a hurry or when you need to choose between several merchants offering similar services. Please let us know via our Contacts page if we have missed anything or if there is other information that we haven't provided which might be useful to you and other shoppers. We are always looking for suggestions on how to improve this Directory. Your input is most welcome.
