Paypal is the preferred payment for
this site - it is one of the safest online payment methods and allows you to pay
with a number of cards. You do not need a Paypal account to pay but perhaps you
should consider setting one up - it's free and easy to do so. Why have your credit
card details with lots of retailers when you could just have one account that is
accepted by many websites. I DO NOT
see your credit/debit card details. Indeed, as general good practice on the web,
I urge you to BEWARE of using shopping
baskets from sites that may not be truly secure. This site is a relatively small enterprise
and doesn't have the resources to fund an ultra-secure online ordering system, hence the hook-up with Paypal - this provides peace-of-mind for both you and
me.
Each image is priced on the website
and each image has an "add to basket" button. When you press
one of these buttons you will be directed to your shopping basket. You can
remove items by updating the basket. If you wish to continue viewing images
and/or buy further photos you can use the "continue shopping" button to return to the page you
were browsing. Please ensure you are pressing the correct button for the image
you require - it is always below the photograph. However, as mentioned, you can always delete items
from your basket before you checkout. In the left-hand column of each page there is a
"view basket" icon so you can return to your shopping basket at any time to
review your purchases and, if you're ready, checkout.
When you are ready to pay press the
"proceed to checkout" button. Paypal account holders simply log in and pay with
a click. However, you can still checkout using your credit card on arguably the
most secure system around. Paypal generates an invoice for you and a copy is
sent to the website when your images will be sent via e-mail. I like to do it
this way as I feel I can provide that little extra customer service with a
friendly message and some advice on how to safely store your images on your
computer's hard drive or other media. All orders are
processed as quickly as possible but the office is not a 24/7 operation.
I may be on the road taking photographs, buying collections of old images or
having a day off! I do however like to keep everyone happy as, as such, I
generally process orders on the same day. You are a valued customer and are
treated as such. If this website was a zillion-pound turnover operation I would
have systems in place that could automate the process and speed things up a bit
but my limited resources has [and still is] spent on the images themselves -
which really are priceless. I am just a small but enthusiastic set-up so please
be patient.
Images can be sent via CD but this costs
a little
extra. Please e-mail
me
