We frequently offer products that are signed by the artist(s). Unfortunately the number of copies are always very limited which means we cannot guarantee that every customer will receive the signed version. In these instances, orders are selected on a random basis, unless otherwise specified.

Please be aware that multiple orders/copies for signed goods may not be completely fulfilled and the quantities may be changed. This is in the interests of fairness and makes the chance of receiving a signed copy as equal as possible for all of our customers.

The DVDs we sell are PAL format, Region 2, unless stated otherwise. You should refer to your DVD player's instruction booklet for confirmation of your player's regional settings. DVDs vary according to both format and region, so unless your machine is multi-region / multi-format, or can be converted to handle multi-region / multi-format, you should check that both the format and the region of the DVD match the settings on your player and that the format matches your television.

If you have chosen Standard Mail delivery please check if your local post office are holding the package for you. They may not have been able to fit your package through your letterbox and taken it for you to collect from the depot. They should leave a card to say that delivery has been attempted, but in our experience this doesn't always happen. If they return the package to us because you did not pick it up at the post office, the order will be returned to stock and you will be refunded for the goods less the postage and packing charge. If you still require the order then you would need to place a new order via the online store.

If you are not satisfied with any of the items you have received for any reason, we will be happy to issue a refund or a credit voucher for the cost of the items if we receive the returned items from you in the condition that they were sent, within 28 days of delivery to you. Please contact us below and wait for a response before returning item to us. Any returns should include a note of your name, order number and a brief explanation of your reason for returning the items. For your protection please ask the Post Office for a 'proof of postage receipt' when sending your items back to us. This proves you have sent the package back to us should the package get lost in transit. You will not be charged for this.

Please note the package is your responsibility until it reaches us. We will be unable to refund or resend your order without a proof of postage receipt.

If your items arrive damaged, we will either issue a credit voucher to you (including the postage and packing you were charged), or send you a replacement. We may ask you to return the damaged item to us before we can take further action. Please contact us below and we will tell you how to proceed.

If you aren't happy with an item you have received from us please contact us and we will give you the instructions for returning. We don't offer exchanges as such, but we will issue you with a credit voucher when we have received goods back to our warehouse. You can then use this credit voucher to place an order for the other item you'd like.

If you have received incorrect items in you order please contact us below. We will advise you on how to send back the items and replace them with the correct items.

If your order is returned to us because you did not collect it from the post office or because you made a mistake with your address, we will not be able to resend it to you. The order will be returned to stock and you will be refunded for the goods less the postage and packing charge as we are not responsible for non-delivery if you have entered your address incorrectly. If you still require the order then you would need to place a new order via the online store.
