Contract for the Supply of Goods

  • Shopping Direct is a trading entity of Online Commerce Ltd., 1 A P Ellis Road, Upper Rissington, Cheltenham, GL54 2QB.

  • No contract for the supply of goods will subsist unless and until an email is sent by Shopping Direct to you confirming that your order has been shipped (this does not include our order receipt email).

Our Prices

Price Promise

  • Shopping Direct continuously monitors other suppliers' websites and may modify prices accordingly to ensure we remain competitive. As a result, by the time your pre-order of a forthcoming release or your back-order of an out of stock title is dispatched, we may have changed the price on our site. Our Price Promise means that when your order is ready for dispatch, we compare the current price of the title against the price we quoted at the time of your order, and we only charge you the lower of the two.
