When you enter your card details to pay for your order, your bank automatically deducts the money from your available balance although it is not actually taken from your account until we despatch your order.
If we do not despatch your order, we do not charge you and the money is automatically put back onto your available balance by your bank. This usually takes around 3-5 working days but the exact timeframe does depend on your card issuer and your bank.
