If you have not yet verified your age on a previous order, you will be asked to send a scan/photo of your photo ID such as your driving license or passport for each named party.

We reserve the right not to supply an age-restricted product where we reasonably believe that you are below the eligible age to purchase the Product.
When you place an order with us, you will receive an automated order acknowledgement and subsequent automated email updates. Receipt of the order acknowledgement and email updates does not mean that the order has been accepted by us.
All orders are subject to internal analysis before dispatch by our Customer Services Order Analysis Team. Orders may need to be put on hold before dispatch if further investigation as to our ability to sell the Product(s) to you is deemed necessary. Such orders can be held for up to 72 hours. We are not liable for any loss or inconvenience such delays may cause you. Please see Clause 12 below that refers specifically to our Conditions in relation to the sale and purchase of cream chargers.
Products purchased from us are not for re-sale or distribution. We reserve the right to restrict the number of a particular Product you may order and reserve the right to cancel any orders which we suspect are being purchased for re-sale or distribution. If you intend to resell the product, please contact us about opening a Wholesale account.

9. Your responsibility
It is your responsibility to provide us with your correct Personal Information and when requested, proof of identity. It is your responsibility to provide us with any information we may need to fulfil your order.
If the Product is to be shipped abroad, you must check if the Products are permitted under the laws of the destination country and if the Products may attract local taxes or duties that you will need to pay.
10. Delivery
We will need to have your telephone number on record on every order in case of delivery or payment issues. If you provide us with inaccurate information, this may result in delivery delays.
We do not provide a personal collection service. Orders must be delivered to the billing address as specified on the records of your payment card. Please email us if you wish for the order to be posted to an alternative address. Such requests may cause delivery delays and we cannot guarantee that such requests to deliver to an alternative address may be authorised by our security team.
It is our policy that we do not post cream chargers to certain addresses such as university halls of residences, colleges, schools, hospitals, and parcel drop centers or lockers. We do not deliver to Jersey Island.
The above list of places we do not deliver cream chargers is not exhaustive and we reserve the right to cancel your order if we find that the address you have provided for delivery does not pass our internal investigations.
We use couriers to deliver our Products. By placing an order with us, you agree to use the couriers assigned to your order and to adhere to the Third-Party courier’s terms and conditions in addition to these Conditions.
Our Next Day Delivery Service is subject to a cut off time. If you choose Next Day Delivery, we are unable to provide guarantees that the courier will be able to fulfil the requirement to deliver by the following day.
Next Day Delivery is not available to orders deliverable to international and off-shore UK addresses. If you reside off–shore, please contact us prior to placing an order so that we can quote you the postage price. If you order cream chargers, you need to know that this order may take longer to deliver as nitrous oxide cannot be shipped via airmail and this may impact on delivery times.
We aim to dispatch our orders within 72 hours (excluding weekends and bank holidays).
Once the order is dispatched, we are not responsible for delays in the courier’s service. It is your responsibility to track the order. Please contact the courier directly if you think your order may be late or lost in transit. We do not accept liability for late or non delivery of orders as it is out of our control.
Upon delivery, the courier will require a signature from the person who accepts the parcel. If you request that the courier delivers the parcel without obtaining a signature, you do this at your own risk We will not be responsible if the product is missing or stolen, and you will need to follow up the matter with either or both the police and the courier company.
If you have provided delivery instructions to leave the parcel in a safe place or with a third party (such as a neighbour), please be aware that this is only a request to the courier and there is no guarantee that your instructions will be followed. Please also be aware that providing alternative delivery instructions will void the insurance liability with both us and the courier.
We cannot accept liability if couriers leave parcels in a ‘safe place’ when it has not been requested and the parcel goes missing.
We accept no liability if the courier’s tracking system records a completed delivery, but you claim to not have taken possession of the parcel. In such a situation you must contact the courier and make a police report.
If you are not available to accept the parcel, the courier will leave an "attempted delivery" card. Please contact the courier, not us, to arrange redelivery of your package. Please arrange for redelivery promptly as your package will be returned to our offices seven (7) days after an undeliverable parcel remains unclaimed and you will need to pay a further postage charge for us to re-post your item.
Delivery costs are subject to change. Some products must be shipped using specific methods. For example, any product containing pressurised gas (such as nitrous oxide or carbon dioxide) must be shipped with particular couriers because these are hazardous substances that conventional delivery services such as Royal Mail will not accept. If you select a courier at checkout that will not accept for delivery one or more Products in your order, we will hold your order and ask you for additional funds so that we may arrange for delivery with a suitable courier.
For more information on Delivery, please see each specific listing.
