Frequently Asked Questions (and answers)
about Purchasing from our Online Control Shop
Q
Can I pay by credit card. I
don't have a Paypal account ?
A
Unfortunately we currently only accept payments via Paypal. However, it is
very easy and immediate to set up a Paypal account with a credit card. We
have been using Paypal since 2004 and we have no reservations in
recommending them.

Q
How do I know if the item is in stock and
when it will be dispatched ?
A
All products shown in the control shop are "in stock" and will normally
be dispatched within 1 working day of placing your order. We carry large
stocks of all items and it is unusual for us to be out of stock. However,
when an item is out of stock it will be clearly marked and you will be
made aware of this when trying to add it to your shopping cart.
Q
Do you supply tracking details for
dispatched parcels ?
A
Yes. We send all of our parcels by "First Class
Royal Mail Signed For" service to UK destinations and International
orders are sent by "Royal Mail International Signed For" service. In
both cases, a tracking number will
be supplied by e-mail to you which you can use to track your parcel at "www.royalmail.com"
Q
If the item is not what I want may I
return it ?
A
Yes. You may return it within 7 days from the date of
receipt to obtain a full refund, excluding postage and packing. Return
postage must be paid by yourself. It must be in its original condition and
contain all original parts. Responsibility for safe return is with you. (a
recorded delivery postal option is strongly recommended).
Q
Do the prices shown include VAT ?
A
The prices shown are exactly what you pay. We are not
(yet) VAT registered and so do not charge VAT on any items.
Q
I have completed a purchase of one of your
control boards with Paypal but my account on PC-Control does not show this
order . Why is this ?
A
You probably did not use the "return to pc-control" button
provided by Paypal to return to our website after completing your
purchase. This is necessary to update our records. However, your
purchase will still be processed normally and without any additional
delay, since we also receive e-mail notification from Paypal for every
purchase made. It just means that when you log on to pc-control your
account will not show the status of this order.
