How do I place an order?

Ordering on line is easy. You simply place the items you require in your shopping basket by clicking on "Add To Basket" whenever you see an item you would like to buy. Adding an item to your basket does not commit you to buy as you can always remove it later. You can review the contents of your basket at any time in the shopping basket by clicking on "basket" prominently displayed on most screens. Once you have found all the items you need, go to the checkout where we will ask you to confirm your password and e-mail details if previously registered, or register by providing these details; and then pay for your purchases by following the simple instructions given there. When you have completed the checkout details you will be shown a "Final Order Summary".

For security where confidential information is requested The WorldPipe Band Shop is hosted on a secure server using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is commonly used for managing the security of message transmission on the Internet through the use of public-and-private key encryption and a digital certificate that establishes your credentials when doing Internet business or other on-line transactions. An independent certification authority, in our case Thawte, issues this certificate.

You will then need to enter your payment details including your card details.

What happens if the product I have ordered is out of stock, or the price increases before my order is fulfilled?

If the product you have ordered is out of stock we will contact you to advise you when more stock is due.

Please also note that if the price of the product has increased between the time of the order and our acceptance of it we will contact you advise you of the change in price.

In either case, you will then need to confirm to us whether you wish to proceed with your order.

Is there a maximum order quantity?

Yes. We will not accept orders for more than 10 units of any one individual product. For larger orders please contact Official Merchandising Limited using the contact details at the top, or bottom of this page.

What about prices and VAT, exchange rates, and so on?

All prices on the web site are quoted in GBP (£), and include VAT (European Community Value Added Tax).

Refunds (where appropriate) of any VAT amount charged when goods are exported outside of the European Community, is the responsibility of the customer.

I'm ordering from abroad - how will my order be dealt with by customs?

When ordering goods from Official Merchandising for delivery outside of the European Community you may be subject to import duties and taxes that are levied once the order reaches the country of delivery. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.

Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. Additionally, please note that when ordering from Official Merchandising, you are considered the importer of the order and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods. Generally, customs forms for international orders will list the value of the contents of your order by product type.

Please be aware that cross-International border deliveries are subject to possible opening and inspection by customs authorities. Additionally, we may be legally obliged to provide certain order, delivery and product information to our international carriers. The carriers may need to communicate such information to the customs authorities in order to facilitate customs clearance and comply with local laws.

We cannot accept cancellation of orders due to your refusal to pay such duties and taxes as may be levied and are unable in these circumstances to refund the value of your order.

What payment methods do you accept?

Only the following credit are acceptable as payment for orders via this website: Visa, Master Card, Switch, Solo, Delta.

When will I be charged?

We will only debit your account at the time that your order is ready for delivery to you.

What are the cancellation, returns and exchange procedures?

You have the right to cancel any order that you have placed with us or return or exchange any item purchased from us for any reason whatsoever until 7 days after the date on which the product has been delivered to you, provided you have not used the product or, in the case of software, audio or visual products, have not unsealed its packaging.

This right does not apply to any products that we have made or customised specifically for you; e.g. personalised replica kits including player names and numbers, which cannot be cancelled once such personalisation has been effected, which may be especially for new kit launches, substantially in advance of delivery, or any products that by their nature have a limited lifespan. This does not effect your statutory rights.

In the unlikely event that any item is found to be faulty in any way Official Merchandising will offer a full refund or an exchange if replacement stock is available at that time, but will have no further liability to you.

To allow us to provide an efficient service please ensure that you have ready your order number, whether the item is faulty and if you wish to exchange the item, the style, colour and size of the replacement item.

Our Customer Services department are happy to speak to you and you can contact us between 9.00 am and 5.30 pm Monday to Friday. All times are local UK time. They can be contacted from the UK on 0141 556 1333 or internationally on +44 (0)141 556 1333.

If you are returning or exchanging goods you will be given a unique Returns Reference Number and this should be clearly written on the package being returned. A copy of the original despatch note will also need to be included in the package.

All returned goods should be sent to the address provided by Customer Services. All goods must be returned at your own cost unless they are faulty or supplied in error and we recommend as a minimum that a certificate of posting is obtained for all product returned.

A cheque refund for the cost of the purchase price excluding delivery charges will be sent to you within 7 days of your notifying us that you wish to cancel your order and receipt of the goods provided that the above process has been adhered. Likewise refunds for faulty goods or goods sent in error including delivery costs will be made by cheque within 7 days of your notifying us and the return of the goods.

How do I make a comment or lodge a complaint?
