What to include...

Part number and description of item.
Quantity required.
How do you want the goods shipped? We ship by Regular Air or by Express Courier (FedEx or other reputable international carrier) with Web based consignment tracking. See below for approximate delivery times and costs.
How are you to pay?
Include an email and a phone or fax number in case we need to contact you about the order. (these details will not be used for any other purpose)
State your full company name and address (and shipping address if different). IMPORTANT: Make sure you state the country. It is not always obvious to us.

Quotations

We can provide a price/delivery quotation if asked. It is important that you state the country where the goods are to be delivered and used. Not only does shipping costs and documentation vary considerably throughout the world but technical specifications differ from area to area.

If you are outside the UK local taxation may be relevant to you. Unless to the UK and EU we ship with local taxes unpaid. You may have to pay tax upon importation. Orders are accepted on the basis it is your responsibility to pay any local or importation taxes that may be due.

Even though we may quote prices in US dollars or other currencies they are derived from the UK Pound Sterling (GBP) price. World currencies vary regularly against each other and the price you actually pay may vary (up or down) from the price we quote. This is inevitable and unavoidable.

We maintain an up to date currency conversion utility here.

How to pay

Credit Card

	BarcodeMan accepts...
	Visa
	Master Card

Payment by credit card is the simplest and most flexible method of payment. Especially for one-off or occasional orders. We prefer this method but acknowledge some corporate bodies and others are not able to use this method.

We need all the following details...

Credit card number
Expiry date
Card Verification Code
Cardholder's Name
Cardholder's Address

Delivery can usually only be made to the Cardholder's Address unless the credit card company agrees.
