  FAQ - Answers:

 
 How can I order and pay for my goods?

Back to Top

Ordering is quick and easy;

For UK based customers, many of our products are available to buy on-line at; www.insight-direct.co.uk  where you can pay by most types of major Debit or Credit cards (note: the administrative savings we are able to make for orders placed through our on-line shop are typically reflected in the lower prices offered for goods purchased via the on-line facility).

Alternatively

You can place your order by phone, fax, e-mail, or snail-mail (postal orders) - see contact us for relevant contact details

Non On-line payments can be made by; cheque, most types of major Debit or Credit cards, or where pre-authorised, on "Account Terms"


 Do you offer "Account" terms?

Back to Top

LEA Schools and local authorities placing an order on their official order form, will automatically be invoiced on 30 day terms. 

Account Terms (subject to status) may also be made available to other commercial organisations or regular customers  


 What if I want to order from ...or have my goods shipped outside of the UK?

Back to Top

Orders from customers based outside of the UK mainland, or where the goods are to be shipped outside of the UK mainland (excluding islands), can be ordered by phone, fax, e-mail, or snail-mail (postal orders).

For "Legal", or "Health & Safety" reasons, it may not be possible (or commercially viable) to ship certain  types of goods to some locations outside of the UK. 

Although typically only a very small number of products from our comprehensive range are typically subject to such restrictions, we would request that prior to placing your order, you contact us by "Phone" or "E-mail", indicating the required delivery address, to ensure that we will be able to supply the items required and also provide an estimated shipping cost  - see contact us for relevant contact details


 How quickly will I receive my goods?

Back to Top

We aim to deliver your goods (to a UK mainland address) within 3-5 working days of receipt of your order, with many stock items regularly being delivered within 1-2 working days!

To ensure a reliable, speedy delivery, the majority of our goods are now shipped via a national courier service, whilst smaller items may be sent by the Royal Mail signed delivery service.

Where goods are likely to arrive later than 5 days from receipt of your order, we will contact you to advise you of an estimated delivery date and agree the appropriate action with you.

If you require the goods ordered to be delivered by a "specific date or time", please phone our offices to discuss your requirements and the premium delivery service options that may be available.

Please note; delivery services may be disrupted during the period between Christmas and the New Year, as like many businesses, National Courier Companies typically close down during this period.

 What sort of after sales support do you offer?

Back to Top

When a customer buys from Insight, we believe that that's the start of the transaction, not the end!

 ...which is why like our thousands of existing customers that we have served over the last 20 years, you will find our after sales support second to none.

Looking after our customers is absolutely central to our corporate ethic, and as well as being the "right thing to do", it's also commercially very rewarding, as a great many of our "New Customers" are introduced to us by direct word of mouth recommendation from friends, work associates or peer groups!
