Order Processing

When you order an item you will receive an acknowledgement email confirming your submission. This email means we’re working on it, but your order has not yet been completed.

Once your order has been successfully processed, a confirmation email will be sent to you. 

In-store Collection

Click and Collect pickup is the fastest way to get your items! We will hold your items for a reasonable period of time. If you have a delay in picking up your order, let us know. Orders not collected within a reasonable timeframe will be returned to stock with the amount on your customer account as store credit only. For high price-point items (trainers, bikes, computers etc) you will be required to provide a copy of the confirmation email, valid photo identification and the purchasing credit card.
