PLACING YOUR ORDER
How do I place an order?
Placing an order is easy. Simply select your currency from the country flags at the top of the website and just click on the buy or add to cart button on any product and follow the simple step-by-step process through to checkout. Please note that UK customers can only order from the UK site and Republic of Ireland Customers can only order from the Republic of Ireland Site.
If you’ve not already registered with us, you will need to create a new login. To do this, you will need to enter your email address and to create a unique password to access your account.
If you prefer not to order online, or have problems with online checkout, you can contact us by phone and place the order with one of our customer service team direct by calling 0808 206 0600.
Do your product prices include VAT?
Yes, as we're based in the UK, all prices on our website are inclusive of VAT.
I've found an item cheaper on another site - do you price match?
JML has an everyday low pricing policy and we always keep a close eye on other retailers and online shopping sites to ensure our prices are always competitive. It is inevitable, however, that in such a dynamic market as the internet, there will be some shopping sites promoting JML products cheaper than we do, as well as some sites which sell JML products for more than we do.
We cannot always price match, but we can guarantee that you will always receive genuine JML products, along with specialised product-specific customer service and a free 30-day money back guarantee with every purchase.
How do I know my order has been successful?
After you’ve completed checkout, you’ll be sent an email to confirm that we have received your order. Within 48 hours you should receive a second email, to confirm that your order has been prepared and made ready for dispatch.
What do I do if the item I want is out of stock?
If a product is out of stock you can request an email notification to let you know when we have new stock available.
If I change my mind, can I cancel or alter my order?
To cancel your order, you must contact customer services in writing via email or letter as soon as possible. It is very difficult to cancel an order once it has been dispatched from our warehouse.
For legal or hygiene reasons there are a small number of products that can’t be cancelled. You will not have any right to cancel a purchase for the supply of any of the following goods:
For the supply of goods made to your specifications or clearly personalised or which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
For the supply of audio or video recordings or computer software if they are unsealed by you.
MY ACCOUNT
How do I register for an account?
On the top right corner of the page you should be able to see a Login/Register link. Click on the link and you will be invited to create an account, if you do not already have one. Your username will be the same as your email address; you will then need to create a password.
What happens if I forget my password?
If you forget your password, don’t worry, we can email it you. On the Login/Register page, just right of the password box, you’ll see a “Forgotten Password?” link. Click on it, and enter your email address on the next page. An email will be sent to your address with your password details.
How can I change my password, address and other personal details?
When you log-in to your account, you’ll notice a number of links on the left hand side. Options to change your personal details and your password are all listed there.
Are my personal details safe?
JMLdirect.com is Tier 1 PCI DSS certified – a security standard which ensures the highest level of available protection for private data used by a website. Tier 1 PCI DSS certified websites undergo regular independent tests to ensure your data is protected and not vulnerable to theft.
We comply fully with the Data Protection Act 1998 and will never share your personal data with a third party without your full consent. You can find out more on our Security and Privacy page.
PAYMENT
What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept most major debit and credit cards including Visa Credit, Visa Debit, MasterCard, Switch/UK Maestro, and Solo cards. You can also pay online via PayPal.
Do you accept payment via cheque?
We no longer accept payments by cheque.
When is payment charged to my credit or debit card?
As soon as you have finished placing your order your card is pre-authorised. We don’t actually take payment until your order has been dispatched and is on its way to you. If, for whatever reason, your order cannot be dispatched immediately, we will not take payment until it is actually ready to send to you.
Do you save my debit or credit card details?
If you are a regular customer, you can choose for us to save your card and debit card details. This will make it much quicker for you to purchase items in the future. However, if you choose not to have your card details saved, they will be deleted once your transaction has been completed.
What do I do if I have a promotional code or a gift voucher code?
If you have a gift certificate or a promo code, you can enter it just below your order summary on the Shopping Basket page. Alternatively, you can enter it on the Payment page, just before you enter your card details.
If I have a gift voucher, do I have to spend the full amount on one single transaction?
No, if you don’t spend the full amount of your gift voucher in one single transaction, any remaining voucher credit will be stored on your account. The remaining credit will automatically be deducted from your next purchase. You can check your gift voucher credit any time by logging into your account.
What do I do if my payment is declined?
Please check your card details in your account to make sure the information is correct, e.g. the expiry date or your billing address.
Make sure that you enter the security code correctly - the three digit number on the back of your card.
Your payment may have been declined by your bank - please check this with your bank.
If you've checked all of the above, we suggest you try paying with another card.
