New Ashgate Gallery Website Sales

Order Process

Identify the items on our website that you wish to buy, add them to your shopping cart and proceed to the checkout. There you will be asked to enter contact and delivery details. You may enter payment details at this stage, but it can be done later if you prefer.

You will be asked to read the Gallery Terms and Conditions, and to contact the Gallery for clarification if you have any queries.

Submit your order, confirming that you are at least 16 years of age, and that you agree to the Gallery Terms and Conditions. When the gallery receives your order, our staff will check availability, calculate delivery charges and will email you a firm quote for approval.

When you are happy with the firm quote, confirm acceptance by email. If you have not already done so you will need to provide payment details. We take payment details through our secure transactional website or over the telephone. We accept payment by Visa, Visa Delta, Visa Electron, Maestro, MasterCard or Solo. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to, or does not for any reason, authorise payment then you will be notified of this immediately.

After payment has been taken our staff will expertly pack the items you have ordered, and arrange delivery. This will be made by a national courier company or by Royal Mail. Goods will normally be delivered to you within 5 working days of our accepting your order and receiving payment.

Full details of your transaction will be sent with your purchases. On receipt, please check the items carefully and contact Gallery staff within seven days if you have any concerns.

Please note that the Gallery acts solely as agent for the artists and makers. Whilst we make every effort to present the items accurately on the website, their colour and appearance may vary slightly from how they appear on screen.
