Our Products
Product Availability
If a product is visible on our website, it’s available to purchase unless ‘Out of Stock’ is displayed in the product description. In the rare event that a product you’ve purchased is ‘In Stock’ but not available; we’ll contact you before we ship your order and invite you to choose between a replacement product of the same value, or a refund.
Product Descriptions Explained
Every product has a main heading and images to help describe it. We also apply our own quality rankings to product condition. These are detailed below.
Every product has a ‘Description’ and ‘Additional Information’ tab. The first includes body measurements for clothes, and content summaries for books. The second, provides a list of product attributes including size and colour for clothes; and genre and subject for books.
Product attributes are linked to all products, forming the basis of our shop filters. Filters will help you broaden or narrow your search, and are located in the left margin of any shop page.
