Ordering Process
When placing an order, you agree that any and all information you give us is accurate and complete.
All orders are subject to acceptance and product availability.

The total price of your order, including any sales taxes, will be displayed prior to your purchase confirmation.

You must check all the details on this confirmation invoice are correct and contact us as soon as possible if any details are incorrect.

3. Payment, charges, transaction fees and taxes
What forms of payment does DrHeadgasket UK accept?
You may purchase products from the Online Shop with credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Visa Electron. You can also use PayPal, GooglePay or ApplePay. All purchases will be charged to your nominated card or account upon submission of your order. All credit and debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. We use a payment processor called “Stripe.com” to process your online transaction on our behalf. For more information on “Stripe”, please see the section headed “Privacy” below. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non- delivery.
We are sorry that we cannot accept personal cheques, cashier’s cheques, money orders or direct deposits.
For more information on how to place an order online, please see out Ordering and Payment FAQ’s
International transaction charges
Please be aware that purchases made from the Online Shop with VISA and MasterCard carry an international service charge for cross border transactions (i.e. where you are in a different country to the UK that you’re buying from, as listed in the introduction above) depending on the card issuer and type of credit card. This is generally between 1-3% of the purchase total, but it may be higher. It is your responsibility to be aware of the international service charges that your credit card issuer may charge. We do not take receipt of these fees, so we are unable to refund them in any way.
International sales taxes
Depending on where you are in the world, your order from the Online Shop may be subject to a sales tax that is calculated up-front as part of your purchase and will be notified to you at the time of your purchase.
In addition, please be aware that delivery of products to some regions may incur a customs/sales tax that is payable on delivery of the physical items that you have ordered. Please check your local tax laws and review our FAQ’s on Ordering and Payment before placing your order for any guide to check whether you might have to pay such a tax. If you aren't sure, contact us, and we'll do our best to help you. Being aware of your local tax laws is your responsibility, and we are unable to refund any amount charged at the point of delivery as DrHeadgasket UK does not receive any amount of these additional taxes.
Credit card verification codes
Unless you have a Shop Account, we require you to provide your Credit Card Verification Code (or CVC) in order to process your payment. The CVC is a number that appears on your credit card that allows us to verify that the person placing the order has direct access to the credit card being used.
Finding the CVC code
For Visa and Mastercard: The three-digit number that appears on the signature panel on the back of the card. For American Express: The four-digit number that appears in the top right corner on the front of the card.
We take great care with the personal information you provide. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.
Creating an Account and Stored Card Details
When you complete a transaction in the Online Shop, we may ask if you’d like the Online Shop to remember your details by creating an account (Shop Account). If you create a Shop Account, your transaction details (name and address) will be securely saved by our Online Shop platform provider so that future purchases are easier and quicker for you. Your payment card details will be processed by Stripe.com (who provide payment services to the Online Shop).
No one has access to your card details, including us. If you would like to close your Shop Account, you can do it yourself by logging to your account or by contacting us by email support@drheadgasket.co.uk
4. Delivery and delivery charges
The terms set out in this clause 4 apply only in relation to the purchase of physical products through the Online Shop. For digital products, please see section 5 below. For more information on delivery, including international brokerage charges and international transaction charges, please see the Delivery Information FAQ’s.
Delivery methods and charges
We send your purchased products to you by postal service. Most purchased products will be sent by standard post.
We can deliver to all the countries that are listed in the drop-down menu at the checkout page. If your country isn’t there, we’re sorry that we can’t deliver it to you at the moment.
Please ensure that you provide accurate credit card details, CVC code, billing address and other information that we request from you in order to process your payment and check them carefully before you click “pay” as we can’t amend mistakes afterwards. We may not be able to process your payment or deliver your products if the information you provide is incorrect.
Shipping Charges
Except as set out below, shipping charges will apply for delivery of physical products purchased from the Online Shop. These shipping charges will be notified to you at the time of your purchase. Shipping charges are based on weight and distance. By making a purchase, you agree that you accept the shipping charges that have been notified to you.
As of Sept 2023, standard shipping is FREE.
Express Delivery
In some regions, you will be able to elect through the Online Shop to have your purchased products sent to you by express delivery. An additional charge, which will be notified to you at the time of making the purchase, will be payable for express delivery. By making a purchase, you agree that you accept the shipping charges that have been notified to you. For EU/ UK consumers, please note that if you choose an available option of express delivery, you will not be refunded the additional cost of the Express Delivery over the cost of Standard Delivery if you decide to return your goods within the cooling-off period of 14 days,
DPD
For products shipped via DPD International, you agree to us engaging DPD, or a local broker hired by DPD to deliver your products. You acknowledge and agree that DPD may charge you a brokerage fee in addition to any applicable duties or taxes, which may be calculated as either a percentage of the value of the shipment or a minimum fee. DPD may either require this fee upfront when you sign for the goods, or it may invoice you by mail. We receive no part of these fees and cannot provide a refund for any such costs incurred.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the delivery details you provide are accurate and complete. Otherwise, we will not be able to deliver the products you have purchased.
DPD services most areas, but before requesting delivery to very remote areas, it's worth checking on the DPD website that they deliver to your specific area. If you've already placed your order and they don't deliver to that area, the goods will go to the closest DPD depot, and you are likely to experience delays and potentially incur extra expenses like arranging for your own broker to deliver the parcel, or picking up the parcel yourself.
Delivery times
If your items are in stock, we will deliver them to you as soon as we can. In the case of pre-orders, we will deliver the products to you as soon as they are in stock. Estimated publication dates are listed on the relevant product page.
Please see our FAQ page for an indication of estimated delivery times for the guides you have purchased. Please note that these times are intended as a guide only, and we are unable to guarantee delivery of your guide by or within a certain time.
Return to sender parcels
If your products are returned to us by the postal service because you haven’t taken delivery, we will contact you to let you know. If the product has been returned to us as a result of our error, we will resend the product to you by standard post for no extra charge.
If you provide an incorrect delivery address and the order is returned to us, or you fail to take delivery, we will either:
redeliver the product to the correct address, if provided, subject to payment of additional delivery costs, or refund the value of the product (excluding delivery costs) dependent on whether it remains in a resalable condition. You will be responsible for any additional charges incurred, including re-delivery costs.
If the order is not returned to us, you will not be eligible for a refund or re-delivery. DrHeadgasket UK accepts no responsibility for deliveries made to incorrect or incomplete addresses provided by customers. In this case, you will need to place a new order with the correct details.
Please note, we will not be able to amend a delivery address once the order has been placed.
5. Delivery of Digital products
When you purchase a digital product through the Online Shop, there are a number of ways in which you can download your product. Firstly, there will be hyperlinks on the order confirmation screen. Secondly, we will promptly send you an email containing a link from which you can download the digital products you have purchased. Finally, you can access the download link from your account page. It is your responsibility to ensure that you provide us with an accurate and valid email address.
You can download each digital product purchased by you up to five times and for a maximum of 60 days from your purchase (whichever expires first). You can only use your digital product for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not share any digital product purchased by you by forwarding or sending it to someone else.
When buying eBooks or software, it's important to be aware that content changes from edition to edition, so use the previews to determine if you are making the right choice; and download and save your files before you hit the road because you can't count on getting a good internet connection wherever you go!
We have compiled more helpful information on downloading and using our digital products here and here.
6. Returns and refunds
Returns and refunds are managed on a case by case basis, so depending on the circumstances, they can take a variable amount of time to process. Where refunds are granted, payments will be initiated within a business day. Please be aware that these payments can take up to 5 business days to process and appear on your bank statement. See below for more information regarding the terms and conditions around returns and refunds.
Defective or Damaged Products
If your purchase is in any way defective, damaged or not as described in the product’s description page of the Online Shop, please contact us as soon as possible with your proof of purchase, and we will arrange for a replacement product or refund where necessary. For partial returns, refund amounts will be calculated against any discounts claimed at the time of ordering (e.g. 3 for 2, % off, free postage offers etc.).
Changing Your Mind – if you live outside the United Kingdom or the European Union
If you change your mind, we can provide an exchange on physical products (but not digital products) should certain circumstances change as long as the products are in perfect, unused condition. Please contact us within 30 days of receiving your order, and we can arrange the delivery of your revised order upon our receipt of your original purchase. Re-delivery will incur additional postage charges, which we will make you aware of at the time of re-order.
Changing Your Mind – if you live in the United Kingdom or the European Union
You have the right, under consumer laws, to a “cooling off” period of 14 days from the date you receive your products, during which time you can change your mind and receive a refund (subject to certain deductions – see below).
To change your mind, please let us know within the 14-day cooling-off period by contacting us. We will get in touch with you as soon as we can and give you the address to which you need to send your return. You need to make sure you send the products back within 14 days of telling us you want to change your mind. You will need to pay the costs of return postage.
Within 14 days of receiving your returned product, provided it is in a perfect, unused condition, we will refund you the amount you paid by the same method as your original payment, including the initial delivery cost at the least expensive rate. So, for example, if you have paid for express delivery, we cannot refund the additional cost of the express delivery over the cost of the standard rate. For partial returns, refund amounts will be calculated against any discounts claimed at the time of ordering (e.g. 3 for 2, % off, free postage offers, etc.). We cannot refund any credit card fees, brokerage fees or import duties, as these amounts go directly to third parties, not us.
If we do not receive your returned product, we cannot refund it, so please ensure you keep your proof of return postage.
For more information on returns, please see our Returns Policy.
