I have put in my card details but they aren't being accepted.

This could be due to a number of reasons. You need to make sure that the invoice address is exactly the same as the address where the card is registered to - the one on your statements. It could also be the card you are using: we don't accept American Express and some types of MasterCard. Another possible reason is that the payment could not be authorised because the necessary funds were not available (note that credit card payment is taken straight away). If you have checked these possibilities and are still experiencing problems in completing your order, please call: 0800 138 1370.
