Terms & Conditions

Postage & Packaging (1st July 2008)

• UK (Mainland)
  
  1. All orders within the UK are currently sent either:
     • Royal Mail '1st Class (Recorded)' or
     • Royal Mail 'Special Delivery (Next Day)'.
  2. From 1st July 2008 we are changing the way we handle Mail Order, reducing the list price of goods, whilst making all orders subject to P&P charges. There will inevitably be some confusion as we work through the web-site updates but, as always, all pricing information will be clearly provided before you confirm and pay for your order.
  3. Prior to July 2008 we operated a policy of charging P&P at +10% of the total order value, with a minimum of £1.00 and Free P&P for orders of £50.00 or more. As a temporary measure, this policy will remain in effect EXCEPT where goods are now clearly being offered for sale below RRP (Recommended Retail Price).
• Europe / Rest of the World
  
  1. We only ship goods outside of the UK using the Royal Mail 'Airsure' service.
  2. The minimum P&P charge for overseas delivery is £7.50 (Note: ~15% of P&P is V.A.T.)
  3. We will not subsidise overseas P&P for small orders.

Please note that Clifton Road Games is a dedicated city centre* Games Store of the old-fashioned 'Bricks & Mortar' pre-internet variety. Our primary focus is the promotion of gaming as a hobby both in-store and through links with local clubs. Whilst this emphasis should not impact on quality of service, it does heavily influence the range and depth of stock carried.

* We're about 500 yards from Exeter's shiny new Princess Hay Shopping Centre... although I doubt we could afford our hundred square-metre games room if we were any closer.

When ordering on-line you should receive an invoice (within one working day) confirming availability, price, payment options and any additional charges (eg. postage). As a small business, we believe it is simpler to confirm availability prior to accepting payment because in many cases a partially complete or one delayed while we obtain stock is useless to the customer. You order will be in the post either the same day or the next working day (depending on the time we receive your payment).

Where items are listed for sale on this web-site, there should (in most cases) be at least one in stock.

Items listed as 'sold out' are those that we do not currently have in stock and are not currently able to obtain from our distributors.

No contract exists where payment is sent to us without our first having issued confirmation of availability, price and any relevant additional charges.
