At Michael Powell Art, we are aware of, and take very seriously, the security and privacy issues surrounding the use of payment facilities via the Internet. As a result, we have taken every precaution, including the use of Secured Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for the transmission of all sensitive credit/debit card and payment information details. Our SSL server is certified by Thawte, a Public Certificate Authority. Thawte will only issue Digital Certificates to those servers which meet stringent security requirements.

3. Placing an Order

Placing an order cold not be any simpler. Browse our online shop and click ‘Buy’ next to any items that you want to purchase. This places the items into your shopping basket, which can be reviewed at any point. When you are happy with the contents of your shopping basket you can proceed to the checkout where you will enter your delivery and billing details. If you register as a Member of this website, you will only need to enter your shipping and billing details once. As we do not store your credit card details, these will need to be entered each time you make a purchase.

We are not registered for VAT.

After you have placed your order, we will send a confirmation email to you summarising the order. We accept payment in sterling by Switch, Visa or MasterCard.

When we receive your order, we carry out a standard pre-authorisation check on your payment card to ensure there are sufficient funds to fulfill the transaction.

When specifying a delivery address, please bear in mind that many of the items we supply will not fit through a standard letterbox, so if you are not at home when delivery is attempted you may need to pick them up from your local sorting office. For your convenience, we offer the option to specify a different delivery address from that used for billing.

If your order is lost or damaged in transit, please let us know promptly.
