How Can I Pay?

Online Card Transactions

We accept all major credit cards commonly accepted in the UK. These include MasterCard, Visa Credit, Visa Debit and more. We're currently working at integrating Paypal and will let you know as soon as this facility is up and running.
 

Credit Cards


We encourage all our customers to pay for their orders through our website. We’re not alone in adopting this policy, far from it. Most responsible online retailers are taking this line and the reasons for it are quite simple... Paying through a properly coded, Enhanced Validation SSL secured website is statistically the safest form of payment available when ordering online.

What's more, whilst our telephone lines are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, our website operates automatically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Please note - payment can only be made using a credit/debit card that has been issued in the UK or Republic of Ireland. If you have a card issued outside of the UK and wish to place an order you can pay by direct bank transfer (internet banking). Funds are frequently in our account within the order so this should not slow your transaction down. Alternatively, you may be able to pay with PayPal or Checkout by Amazon.

PayPal

Whilst we don't accept PayPal at this moment we are currently working hard to offer this service to our customers. Whilst it's no more secure, PayPal will allow our customers to check out much quicker than with our normal credit card payment system. No longer will they have to enter billing and shipping addresses or their card details. Instead, you simply log into your existing PayPal account, follow the instructions on screen and hit 'Pay'... PayPal will dramatically shorten and simplify the shopping experience and make shopping on a mobile or tablet much, much easier.

If you've got an eBay or PayPal account then payment by PayPal couldn't be easier.

Checkout by Amazon

Checkout by Amazon works in much the same way as PayPal. If you've already got an Amazon account (and so many of you do!) then you can check out simply by entering your Amazon username and password. Your order is then paid for using one of the credit/debit cards saved securely in your Amazon account and delivered to one of the addresses saved there too. Checkout by Amazon dramatically speeds up your buying experience.

Telephone Payments

Many of our customers prefer to talk through their purchase and the various products available to them. Some others simply prefer to talk to someone and place their order by telephone. We completely understand this and offer full payment facilities by phone as well as online.

If you'd like to discuss or place an order by phone simply call 0800 023 6200 and a member of our team will be only too happy to help!

BACS and Cheque Payments

For certain companies, public bodies or for extremely large orders we understand that sometimes there simply is no alternative to a cheque or a direct wire transfer. If you feel that you or your order falls into either of these categories please get in touch by calling 0800 023 6200 or via our contact page and we’ll be happy to run through your options. Please note that, for all such orders, cleared funds must be received prior to stock being reserved or dispatched.

Purchase Orders / Payment on Account

We understand that public bodies (schools, hospitals, the armed forces etc) are occasionally unable to pay using a card. If this fits your situation or, alternatively, you are a company making a large repeat purchase, you may be able to pay on account.

Credit orders from public bodies must exceed £100 (14-30 day terms) and from private organisations £250 (14 day terms). Credit is not guaranteed, is granted entirely at The Tape Store’s discretion and is subject to factors such as a successful credit check, past payment history, the current financial climate and so on.

The buying process really couldn’t be easier. Simply navigate through the relevant product pages and jot down the makes and models of what you’d like to purchase making sure to include quantities and prices. When you've got a list simply navigate to our purchase orders page and fill in all the required information. Once the form has been submitted we will perform the necessary checks and get back to you as soon as possible to inform you whether your application has been successful. We'll then request a formal purchase order.

Once we receive your purchase order we’ll push your order through with a brief email to follow. A key point to bear in mind is that a purchase order is an instruction to despatch goods and has real authority under UK law. Be completely sure that you want to buy before uploading your PO. We will not be able to cancel orders placed under a purchase order once they have been received and you will be obligated under law to pay for them.

Currencies

Whilst based in the UK, The Tape Store is an international supplier of tape measures, laser measures and other tools for export. All payments have to be made in Sterling. Please note, payment for goods and postage outside of the UK/ROI cannot be selected through our website so, if you do wish to ship our products abroad, you must first contact us.

Orders From Outside The UK

The Tape Store regularly supplies tools to countries outside of the UK. We specialise in large scale shipments to nations which may not have access to the tool distributors and manufacturers that we do in the UK.

All non-domestic orders must be paid for by proforma invoice accompanied by an official, signed purchase order. Depending upon the size of the order we may require the funds to be in our account for up to 14 working days prior to any goods being reserved, ordered or despatched.
