Back to the Top Methods of Payment Credit or Debit Card - We accept all major credit and debit cards - Mastercard, Visa, Maestro, Switch, Solo and Visa Electron. Payment is conducted via HSBC, one of the world's largest secure payment providers. Payments are pre-authorised (or ‘reserved’) and no money is taken until the goods are shipped (with the exception of Solo and Electron, where the type of bank account stipulates that pre-authorised payments are not possible, and where payment is therefore deducted at time of use). Backordered items are not charged until they are shipped. Paypal – we are able to accept Paypal as an alternative to credit/debit cards. Ask for details. Cheque - Make your purchase on-line in the normal way and choose the 'Cheque Via Post' option. Cheques should be made payable to CopShopUK Ltd, and sent to our registered address (as shown above). Please note that we will require receipt of your cheque prior to despatching the goods, together with an additional 7 working days for your cheque to clear.

* Free carriage/discounts may be available for high value/bulk orders, as well as for high value/low weight orders. Contact our sales office for details. When can I expect delivery? Customer satisfaction and speedy service is of paramount importance to us – orders received before 3pm Mon-Fri are despatched same day (subject to stock availability) via either Royal Mail 1st Class or 24hr courier (at our discretion, dependent on the weight, value and destination of the order). This means that the vast majority of orders will arrive next day. Please be advised that we do not guarantee a next day service, nor do our advertised postage and packing rates include a ‘built in’ or implied premium for a guaranteed express delivery – we place equal importance an all orders as our priority, and continually monitor our delivery services in order to bring you the most efficient service at the best prices. Inevitably from time to time there will be supplier delays and other unforeseen difficulties beyond our control. In these instances, and if the delay is longer than 48 hours, we will email or telephone to advise you. If an item is required urgently or by a strict deadline then please contact our sales office to confirm stock availability and avoid disappointment. Note: Certain bespoke items (personalised FPN Holders, e.g.) attract additional delivery times, as will be indicated alongside the product information. Goods despatched by courier Goods despatched via courier will require a signature, the delivery driver will usually attempt delivery on two consecutive working days following despatch. Should you be unavailable to take receipt of your order, a calling card will be left, and you will need to contact your nearest depot to arrange redelivery or collection. We rely on our courier being able to successfully deliver orders. It is your responsibility to ensure that the delivery address you choose is suitable, or that you contact the courier immediately following a failed delivery attempt to avoid items being returned to sender (typically 3 days after a card is left). Should you wish a courier to leave a package in a safe place (i.e. without a signature), or with a designated neighbour, please indicate this at point of ordering in the 'Special Delivery Instructions' section, but PLEASE BE ADVISED that parcels left in this way, at your request, are left entirely at your own personal risk. If no 'Special Delivery Instructions' are entered at time of ordering, the courier will assume that you wish the parcel to be delivered to the recipient's address only. Note: When items are returned to us undelivered, we are charged by the courier company. CopShopUK Ltd will pass these charges on to the customer, unless it can be established that the fault of non-delivery lies with the courier. Similarly in these instances, CopShopUK Ltd will not be liable for the additional charges resulting from extra delivery attempts, re-sending of parcels or changes of delivery address.

Back to the Top Data Protection, Privacy and Credit Card Security CopShopUK Ltd takes your privacy in relation to the protection of personal information very seriously. We undertake never to pass information about our customers on to 3rd parties except for the purposes of processing your order, or unless legally obliged to do so. Being from a Police background we understand the need for discretion in the despatch of goods – all orders are packed in plain packaging with no reference to the nature of their source. Customers can request the information held about them and what we do with it at any time in writing to the address shown above. Cookies are used on this shopping site to keep track of the contents of your shopping cart once you have selected an item and to store your details in the 'Remember Me' Option. If you would like additional advice about cookies please feel free to contact us. For maximum peace of mind, we use HSBC, one of the world’s largest secure payment providers, to ensure the best possible security in relation to your credit and debit card information. The secure nature of the payment process can be verified by the ‘padlock’ which can be viewed at the top of the screen when you are asked for your payment details. All credit card numbers are encrypted using 128-bit encryption on HSBC Secure Server when the order is placed. They are only decrypted after they reach HSBC computer. They are not held in clear text on any web site. CopShopUK Ltd computers do not see these card numbers at anytime, therefore minimizing the risk of fraudulent use. If you are unsure of using your cards on-line please email at info@copshopuk.com Back to the Top Returns Policy CopShopUK Ltd complies with the following regulation: "The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000" which can be found at http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2000/20002334.htm We spend a lot of time researching and testing the products we stock to make sure that they are all of a good quality. We do appreciate that from time to time products can fall short of this quality and we need to be able to get you a replacement item. Similarly there may be occasions where an item fails to meet expectations, or needs to be exchanged for an alternative size or specification. In these instances please follow the procedure below: How to return a product The fastest way for us to deal with your return is either by completing the e-mail Returns and Exchange form on our website, by emailing us directly at info@copshopuk.com, or by speaking to one of our advisors on 01843 825757. Either way we will note your details, provide you with a returns contact (via e-mail or telephone), and ask you to re-package and return the item as you have received it. ALL RETURNS/EXCHANGES* MUST BE REPORTED WITHIN 7 DAYS AND RETURNED WITHIN 14 DAYS OF PURCHASE *Excludes worn/used items later reported faulty under guarantee, see relevant section Conditions of return for unwanted items / items for exchange Unsuitable items, or items for exchange need to be reported within our 7 day cooling off period, and returned to us within 14 days of purchase. The customer will be required to stand the cost of return, however in the case of exchanges, and unlike most of our competitors, we charge NO EXTRA POSTAGE AND PACKING to get the preferred item(s) back to you (up to a maximum of two exchange requests per order). Items must be returned in a resalable condition, including all product packaging. We have an obligation to the next ‘owner’ of a returned unwanted item to ensure that the product is satisfactorily presented. Please do not return boot boxes without additional wrapping, as this may constitute customer damage and be subject to a 10% handling charge. A refund will not be issued for returned unwanted goods that in the opinion of CopShopUK Ltd are not in a resalable condition - this includes packaging. Note: Customers are responsible for any goods returned until they are received at one of our registered addresses. Goods that go missing in transit cannot be reimbursed, so we recommend that customers ensure they have adequate postal insurance/proof of postage. We are unable to accept any of the following items for return unless they are faulty, whereupon we will send a replacement: Personalised items, including FPN Holders, embroidered epaulettes or clothing Books and DVD's Earpieces/undergarments/socks (for hygiene reasons) Faulty, Damaged, Missing or Incorrectly Supplied Items Claims for any of the above/notification of defects in newly supplied products must be made within 7 days of receipt of the order, and returned within 14 days of purchase. Later claims will be accepted at the discretion of CopShopUK Ltd. With clearly unused/unworn faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied items, an exchange or refund will be issued within 7 working days of receipt of the returned item. Where items develop a fault beyond 14 days but within our 6 month guarantee period, it will usually be necessary for us to send the goods to the relevant manufacturer for a fault assessment. In these instances a repair or exchange may take up to 28 days. Where it is agreed that the product is faulty, an exchange or repair will be offered, together with a refund of return postage costs incurred by the customer (based on Royal Mail Standard Parcels or First Class post, whichever is the lesser). WORN/USED ITEMS REPORTED AS FAULTY MUST BE RETURNED WITHIN 14 DAYS OF NOTIFICATION OF THE FAULT. CopShopUK Ltd will keep the customer fully advised of the progress of his/her faulty product return via e-mail or telephone. Each case is likely to be different, and will be treated individually at our discretion. In the event of a returned item being found not faulty, CopShopUK Ltd will not refund return postage costs, and may charge additional postage fees should a customer request the return of the item following inspection. Nothing in this returns section, nor anywhere else in these Terms and Conditions, affects your statutory legal rights.
