If you opt to use PayPal, please ensure that your correct details are within PayPal. We are unable to dispatch any item to any address other than that confirmed by PayPal. If you are purchasing an item which you require delivering to a different address, please ensure that you add or select the correct address prior to checking out via PayPal and by adding the alternative delivery address into our Checkout page.
Should you fail to follow these instructions, your payment will be refunded and the item will be immediately added back into our inventory. You will need to re-purchase the item and supply the correct address. We will not accept any liability if you fail to provide the correct address in the first instance, and we subsequently refund and place the item back into our inventory and that item is then purchased by another customer in the time it takes you to resolve your delivery address details and make repayment.
From time to time, we find that customers have not updated their linked card details in PayPal. In these instances, PayPal issue an eCheque to us which takes up to 12 working days to clear. We will not dispatch your item in these cases until a cleared payment has been received. We will not accept any liability for late delivery if your card details are not up-to-date. We will endeavour to contact you using the details you have provided to notify you of any such issues and give you the opportunity to remedy.
Also, we will not accept PayPal for any collection orders under any circumstances for the protection of both parties. We can take payment by bank transfer on collection.

Item dispatch
Items are dispatched once payment is received in full. You should ensure that your details are up-to-date before purchasing from us.
When a cleared payment is received before 2pm. this generally means we are able to dispatch the same working day unless the displayed dispatch time contradicts this.
Cheque
We accept crossed cheques payable to Grumpy Greyhound Limited. Please allow 5 working days from date of delivery before contacting us.
Please await instructions sent after purchase before sending payment. DO NOT send cheques to our legal registered business address.
Postal Orders
We accept crossed and uncrossed postal orders.
Crossed postal orders should be made payable to Grumpy Greyhound Limited. Please allow 5 working days from date of delivery postage before contacting us as they have to be banked into our business account.
Uncrossed postal orders are less secure but allow items to be dispatched upon receipt as they do not need to be banked. You are responsible for any loss in transit or insurance to cover the value of your uncrossed postal orders.
Please await instructions sent after purchase before sending payment. Do not send postal orders to our legal registered business address.
Bank Transfer
After purchase, please contact us for our business account details.
The time taken to process bank transfers varies depending on several factors, all of which are outside of our control.
If you send payment using FPS (Faster Payments Service), payments are usually received within 2 hours.
BACS payments tend to take up to 3 working days.
International bank transfers can take substantially longer.
In any instance, you agree to cover all transaction fees associated with processing any bank transfer from your side unless prior consideration and agreement is reached in writing by both parties.
Cash
On very rare occasions, do we accept cash on collection due to efficiencies of our working day.
However, please be aware that this is not our preferred method of doing business.
VAT, CURRENCIES & EXCHANGE RATES
As we are based in the UK, we operate in UK £ Sterling.
We display other currencies as a guide only - not only do exchange rates fluctuate, your card company will perform the conversion at their own set rate at the time of purchase. If you'd like to check a currency we don't offer, www.xe.com/ucc has an excellent converter.
GENERAL NOTE: Under no circumstances, will we allow collection of items if cleared payment has not been received.
