HOW DO I PLACE AN ORDER?

You can use the website to browse our ribbons and make your selection. We've placed them in popular categories to make them easy to find, or you can make our selection according to colour. Most ribbons are available in a range of widths and can be bought by the metre or roll so you'll need to make your selections before adding to your basket. Once you've made your selection, click Add To Basket, and your ribbons will automatically be added to your Shopping Basket. You can view this at any time by clicking the bag icon at the top of the page. You can amend quantities or delete ribbons from your basket. When you've finished shopping, view your basket then click Go To Checkout. You will automatically be directed to our secure payment system.  

​

We take payments via PayPal but you don't need a PayPal account - you can enter your card details at checkout. We accept Visa and Mastercard, and we can take card payments by phone. Please be sure to check the correct delivery address is entered. If in doubt, give us a call.
