Safe Online Shopping With Quasar

Safe and Secure Online Shopping

Our new online ordering system is a safe, easy and convenient way to make your purchases.

Our shopping cart offers 100% SSL Encrypted Secure Shopping and carries the Hacker Safe logo. HACKER SAFE sites help protect you from
Identity Theft and Credit Card Fraud. The site is tested and certified daily to pass the FBI/SANS Internet Security Test.

You card payment is processed by Protx, a leading UK payment gateway provider (similar to WorldPay). You enter your card details directly into their secure screen and the details are then securely routed to your card issuing bank for instant verification and payment approval.

Unlike more traditional faxed, mailed or telephoned orders, we will not even get to see your card details when you order online!

How To Order Online

As you browse through our online catalogue you simply select the items you require by clicking on the 'BUY' buttons. Each time you add an item you will be taken to your personal Shopping Cart page (or trolley as we like to call them in the UK). This will display all of the items you have chosen so far. Please note that prices shown here do NOT include 17.5% VAT (UK sales tax). This will be added to all orders for shipment to UK and EU destinations at the confirm and submit order stage. You can view the contents of your cart at anytime by clicking the 'View Cart' button near the top of the left-hand column that appears in all of our web pages.

Within the Shopping Cart page you can change the quantity ordered or delete items as required. There are also three hyperlinks at the bottom of the page:

Use 'RECALCULATE' when you increase or decrease the quantity of a product ordered. This will recalculate the Extended price column.

Choose 'CONTINUE SHOPPING' to continue browsing the catalogue and adding more items as desired.

Once you have finished shopping you must choose the appropriate Postage option from the drop down menu (under TOTAL). Note that applicable taxes have been calculated based on your shipping location. 17.5% VAT (UK sales tax) is added to all orders for EU destinations (you may find that there is a VAT rounding up/down difference of one pence to the total  amount). The Total amount chargeable to your card is shown in British Pounds Sterling. You can also add any special instructions in the box provided.

Now click the 'GO TO PAYMENTS' button. You will be taken to the page where you must must provide the correct registered card holders name and address in the "Billing information" section otherwise the transaction will be declined or delayed. You can enter a different address for delivery in the "Shipping address (if different)" section (we reserve the right to refuse an order if we consider it to be an unacceptable security risk). Make sure both boxes have a tick in them and press the "CONTINUE" button.

Select the top "CONTINUE" button to make the payment by card or the bottom "CONTINUE" button to make the payment by PayPal.

If paying by card, you will be taken to the the  Protx Secure Server form where you fill in your card details. Press the 'Proceed' button to initiate card payment authorisation and complete your order.

PLEASE NOTE: A full security check is performed on ALL internet orders before the goods are despatched. You must only provide the registered card holders address for delivery otherwise the transaction will later be declined or delayed. Incorrect cardholder names and cardholder addresses will delay the despatch of your goods. Remember, these checks help to protect both you and us from improper card use.

If successful you will shortly receive an email confirming your order.
