What happens if the item(s) I ordered are out of stock?
Should an item be out of stock when you order we will inform you of this and you will
have the option to either cancel the order or wait until new stock arrives in.
Our sales team will be able to inform you when an ‘out of stock item’ will be expected to be back into stock.
If I order two or more items and one is out of stock what happens?
You can either have the ‘in stock’ item delivered straight away and we will then dispatch the balance of you
order at no extra cost when it arrives in stock or you may wait until we have all your ordered items
in stock before they are delivered together.
When is my credit/debit card charged?
For all items in stock your credit/debit card will be debited when we process the order.
We do not charge for items that are out of stock until the item is in stock and ready for dispatch.
What happens to my credit card details?
We DO NOT keep credit/debit card details once an order has been processed.
All our transactions are processed through SECURE TRADING On-line trading.
So in instances where an item is out of stock at the time of ordering we may need to take your credit/debit card
details again once the item(s) arrive into stock and are ready for dispatch.
Can I request the delivery driver leaves the item in the porch/garage/behind a bush etc if I am out?
No. Delivery drivers WILL NOT leave any item without a signature
Can I request my order is delivered to a delivery address different to my home?
Yes, when ordering you will see a section that allows you to have an item delivered to an alternative address,
this can be a friend, family or work place. In ALL instances of a delivery to an alternative
address a signature will be required upon delivery.
I have ordered an item but did not receive a confirmation of my order, why?

it is possible you put the wrong email address in. If you DO NOT receive a confirmation email please contact us.
When do I receive my invoice?
Invoices are sent via email when the item is dispatched.

Security
How safe are my personnel details when I am shopping with EDUK?
We work very closely with 21 Digital (our service provider), and Comodo to ensure that all your personal details are kept safe,
both through-out your transaction and in our database.
We use SSL (Secure Server Lock) Technology to encrypt your personal details.
What actually happens to my details?
The information you input into our system in the shopping cart is then encrypted and sent to our secure server.
When you enter the shopping cart you will notice that the URL (web address) in your web browser changes from
http:// to https://, showing you that you have entered a secure site. In addition a
small lock symbol will appear in the information bar of your browser, showing that sever lock technology is in place.
On the secure server the information is then decoded for the order process to continue.
Are my details stored ?
Yes. All details such as your name/address etc are encryted and stored on our secure server,
so that there can be no un-authorised access to these details. We DO NOT store credit card details on our server as
all payments are made through SECURE TRADING on-line trading,
so should you make another purchase from us or for any additions or refunds regarding your original purchase,
then we will need to obtain your credit card details from you again.
Purchasing
How do I find the item I am looking for?
There are two ways to find a particular item. Firstly, if you know the make and model number of the item,
simply type that into the search box at the top of the page. (i.e. Panasonic TX55LX650B).
Secondly, if you don't know the exact model number but know the type (i.e Panasonic LED Television) then you can use our menu system.
In this instance click the 'TV, Blu-ray & Home Cinema' button then either select the type from the drop down menu or wait till the 'TV, Blu-ray & Home Cinema'
page loads then select from the options.
You will now be able to refine your search by select from Type/Brand/Screen Size/Price/Features etc.
You will now see a list of your selection, which you can then view either by price or by Brand (depending on your selection).
Once you see the item you want click the ‘More Details’ button to see full specification and product details.
Can I add more items to my basket ?
Yes. Just like you would do in a Supermarket, once you've added an item to your
basket it will remain there so that you can go to other sections of our website to
purchase other products.
The item I want is out of stock, what can I do ?
If an item is out of stock you can still order the item and we will advice on the expected in-coming date.
Alternatively, you can call us, during office hours, on 01282 443850
Alternatively you will see of the product's page an alternative item,
this maybe a choice of the same make, same colour, size or features depending on your initial selection of product.
If this alternative is not what you're looking for simply follow the search facility described above.
I have a Discount Code, how do I use it ?
Discount Codes are available from many sources, such as Price Comparison websites, and also within our own website listings.
You will need to follow the link from that site to your product of choice. When you add the item to your basket then proceed to the
