PAYMENT


How do I pay for the goods?

We accept online payment in a secure environment. Currently, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Delta, Switch, AMEX, PayPal, Apple Pay & Google Pay. Please note, payments made via PayPal will automatically be converted and charged in GBP (£). To avoid any additional charges, we recommend that you select GBP as your chosen currency if paying with PayPal.

Is there VAT on my order?

There is no VAT on children’s clothing, footwear up to a girls size EU38 & a boys size EU41, belts or books. Hair accessories, adult’s clothing and footwear as well as gifts and toys carry VAT at the standard rate of 20%. Prices are shown inclusive of VAT where applicable. All deliveries outside EEC countries will be charged exclusive of VAT.

I have a discount code, how do I use it?

There is the opportunity to redeem voucher codes after proceeding to Checkout on the 'Customer Information' page. On the right hand side, there is a field where you can enter your e-voucher or discount code information and click Apply to have it redeemed against your basket. Please note, there may be exclusions and terms and conditions to using your code, usually not in conjunction with sale, discounted and multi-buy offers. For further information please visit our Terms & Conditions page.

When ordering from overseas do I need to pay customs charges?

For EU shipments, all duties, taxes and fees are included with your order total and you will not need to pay any additional fees upon delivery. For delivery outside of the EU, UK VAT is not due. We will declare all products within your delivery, however, if there are any import taxes, duties or handling fees due in the country of destination, these will be payable by the receiver. These are not included in the price charged by Trotters Childrenswear & Accessories. For further information please visit our Terms & Conditions page.

What happens if I think I have been charged twice?

Occasionally after purchasing with Trotters online if you check your bank account it appears that you have been charged twice, there is no need to worry. There is a very simple explanation for this.
Trotters will only charge your card once your order has been dispatched, depending on your card provider, when placing an order, they will put a hold on the funds at the time you checkout to ensure the funds are available when we come to charge your card just before we dispatch.
This hold is known as a pre-authorisation. If you are viewing your statement online, it will appear as a charge for the value of your order which is why it looks like you've been charged twice. The pre-authorisation is standard practice when funds are transferred electronically. The pre-authorisation should automatically drop off within 5 working days of when you originally placed your order, however you can contact your bank and ask them to release the funds sooner if you wish. Your Bank may require us to fax through details to confirm we no longer need the funds held which we are always happy to do.
If you need further assistance from us please contact our Customer Service Team using our Contact us page.

Can my order be delivered to a different address from my billing address?

Yes, it can. You will find an option to choose a different delivery address during the checkout process. You can also save multiple addresses for a quicker checkout process, the next time you shop.

What happens if I am out when the postman tries to deliver?

For UK deliveries, usually a card will be left and re-delivery will be attempted the next day. If the parcel cannot be delivered it will be returned to us. In that circumstance, we will contact you to arrange sending your parcel out again. For overseas delivery, you will need to contact your local postal service to arrange redelivery. Trotters is not responsible for arranging redelivery overseas.

SITE DETAILS


Is our site secure?

Not only does Trotters protect the security of your information during transmission by encrypting the information that you input and transmit to us, but also you can be sure that the site is safe and private.

What about accessibility?

At Trotters we are working hard to provide a website that is accessible to everyone, including those with visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments. We are constantly checking and improving our website to ensure it meets the demands of the Disability Discrimination Act and the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, priorities 1 and we are working towards meeting priority 2.

This statement explains the accessibility features we have implemented to make our website easier to use and navigate.

In terms of navigation, where possible we have made links consistent between pages throughout the site. Trotters.co.uk is also fully accessible using only a keyboard and can be navigated with scripting disabled. We are constantly testing colour contrasts and combinations to ensure our website can be read by users with visual impairments, including those with colour blindness. In addition, we have limited the use of Flash and other applications that are known to cause screen flicker. It is also possible to use our site without viewing images or graphics by ensuring that all relevant non-text elements have explanatory text descriptions.

We use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for visual layout. This allows users to override our styles with their own preferred fonts and colours for increased readability. By displaying many links in a different, bolder colour it distinguished them from our standard web text. Links are highlighted with an underline or an underline will appear if you roll over a link with your mouse. In general we use tables for tabular data and not for page layout.

Trotters.co.uk can be accessed on PCs and Macs from the following browsers:

 

    • Chrome
    • Internet Explorer version 7 and above
    • Firefox
    • Safari
