Costs and Payment
Q. Why are there different prices depending on the quantity I buy for some products and not for others?
A. Simple! We work out the best possible price we can and include delivery costs. For most items this makes us able to offer a discount on multiples as we can combine and reduce delivery costs. On some larger items it is not possible to combine items due to carrier carton or pallet restrictions on sizes in this case the price will appear the same for example the price for 1 piece will be the same as for 4 pieces.

Q. What is POA?
A. There are some instances where carriage cannot be calculated due to us requiring the destination address to be able to cost the delivery.
