OUR PRODUCTS 

All items shown on the Loopster website, unless otherwise mentioned, are nearly new i.e. second hand. We hand check all our items to ensure a good level of quality and condition.

Items may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the items on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we make every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of an item. Your item may therefore vary slightly from those images. We will not be responsible or liable for any differences between an image and an actual item.

PRICING 

Currency. All prices are in GBP / £ sterling.

VAT. Our items are not subject to VAT.

Price errors. We try to ensure that our items are correctly priced. It is possible however that, despite our efforts, an item may occasionally be incorrectly priced. If an item’s correct price at your order date is lower than the stated price, we will charge the lower amount. If an item’s correct price at your order date is higher than the stated price, we will contact you before we process your order. 

ORDERS

You may only place an order with us if you are 18 or over.

Please take the time to read and check your order at each step of the order process.

Order confirmation. After you have placed your order, you will receive an order confirmation setting out details of your items and the expected delivery time.

Acceptance of your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you this order confirmation, at which point a contract will come into existence between us.

If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order (this might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the item or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline), we will email you and we will not charge you for the item(s).

Incorrect order information. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage you may experience if you provide incorrect information during the order process and this leads to the wrong items being delivered or your items being sent to the wrong address.

We only sell to the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from or deliver to addresses outside of the UK.

PAYMENT

The total amount in your basket must be paid upon ordering.

We accept payment with: 

• Credit or debit card (Visa or MasterCard);
• PayPal
• 

If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any associated delay or non-delivery.  

DELIVERY

Items will be delivered by Royal Mail to the address provided by you on your order form.

Delivery costs. Postage fees are not included on the initial order page but will be displayed and added to your order before you make payment and confirm your order. For details of our postage fees click here.

Delivery time. We will let you know the estimated delivery time for your item during the order process.

If you are not at home when the item is delivered. If no one is available to take delivery and the item cannot be posted through your letterbox, Royal Mail will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the item from a local depot.

Faulty items. Loopster will carefully package all orders to ensure safe delivery. Please check the condition of your item when it arrives. If there is a fault with an item as result of the delivery process, please contact us  at: [email protected] as soon as possible.

Delayed deliveries. If delivery of your item is delayed, email us at [email protected] and we will contact Royal Mail to help locate it. However, we will not be responsible for delivering an item late or not delivering part of an order if the delay is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

Delays outside of our control. If delivery of your item is delayed by an event outside of our reasonable control, we will contact you as soon as possible and will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us if you would like a refund for any items you have paid for but not received.

When we may refuse to make a delivery. We may refuse to deliver an item to you if:

• You do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 5 working days of us reminding you that payment is due;
• You do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide you with an item; or
• You do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver an item to you.

In any of those circumstances, we will refund any money you have paid in advance for items we have not delivered to you but we may deduct reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your actions.
