iii.) Is the Kudos website secure?

Ensuring our system is as trustworthy as us…

As a reputable and well-established internet company, we are well aware of the potential security threats on e-commerce. In response, we take the security of our customers and transactions very seriously and ensure that shopping online with Kudos is safe and trustworthy.

All our transactions are secured and supported by Worldpay systems and consequently no credit/debit card details are stored on our server. Any other details that may be requested are solely for the purpose of creating a better service for you, our customers, and we promise that they will not be divulged to third parties of any nature.

iv.) How do I benefit by registering with Kudos?

We aim to have an easy and efficient checkout system. When making your first purchase from Kudos you will be asked to register with a unique password: future sales will be made more convenient as your details will be stored and won't have to be entered again. We feel that it also strengthens our relationships with customers and allows communication of offers and gift ideas in the future.

v.) How does the shopping basket help my shopping experience?

The shopping basket is a relatively standard feature that enhances and simplifies shopping with Kudos. The concept is similar to that of having somewhere to store your potential purchases whilst you browse further.

Simply click on the ‘Add to Basket’ button when you see it beside a product:


Items in the shopping basket can be deleted by clicking on the “Remove” text link, situated to the right of the respective product. If you wish to purchase the items in your shopping basket use the 'Checkout' button which leads to the payment pages.

Looking for something?

At Kudos, we promise to do our best to help you find your perfect match. If you are looking for something in particular and are experiencing difficulty in finding it, please Contact Us and tell us exactly what you desire. Please use the search tool at the top right hand side of the page.

ii.)How do I know that your product is of the quality you claim?

Pride in Product…

Through our personalized customer service, we hope to form long lasting relationships with customers and not just individual sales. Consequently, we find it necessary to provide you with quality products in flawless conditions, so that your trust in us can develop.

Care is taken when we write our product descriptions and we guarantee that the information is as accurate as possible and more importantly, our customers receive all that they expect.

iii.) Tell me more about your product descriptions…

Describing descriptions…

Attributed to each of our product images are two descriptive scripts. On the category pages, a somewhat generic, flowery description is displayed to complement the product. Once this image is selected and the respective “Read More” page is generated, you will see a more detailed, technical description.

We try to make these descriptions as self-explanatory as possible however, if you would require more detail or do not understand some of the terms used, please Contact Us and we will be delighted to answer your queries.

3. Ordering & Payment

i.) How do I order Kudos products?

How it works…

As a leading online retailer and one which concentrates on our customer service, we have developed a flowing, user-friendly website that allows orders to be made with ease and efficiency. Firstly, the customer can browse the site and hopefully find exactly what they are looking for. At the end of their visits, the product(s) should be added to their Shopping Basket. Please visit the following link to learn about the Shopping Basket (General: Question 5).

The sub-total cost of your shopping basket contents (displayed at the bottom right of the page), shall be automatically re-calculated when a new item is added. When checking out you may wish to select the “Gift wrap my purchases” tick box. Following this action, the updated price will be displayed. If you are fortunate enough to have a Promotional Code, you may experience the benefits on this page, by entering it in the bottom text box and clicking “Submit”.

After you have confirmed your order our site will direct you to a secure page on WorldPay’s server, wherein you may enter payment details safely. If the payment details have been verified successfully, then on return to the Kudos site, you shall be informed that the transaction has been completed. Consequently, we shall take over responsibility of the order process!

ii.) What ways can I pay for my products?

Payment Preferences…

For your convenience, we do our best to offer a selection of ways in which a payment can be made to Kudos. Online via WorldPay or send us a Sterling cheque or bankers draft.

iii.) Does Kudos accept orders from abroad?

World Wide…

As a global internet company, Kudos welcomes orders from most countries worldwide. You may select your preferred currency at the top right of the page.

iv.) I am ordering from abroad, what about customs and tax?

Duty Free?…

There is no extra duty or tax payable on any goods that are purchased within the European Union. In relation to those purchased outside the European Union, there may be local taxes incurred, however no U.K. tax charges will be paid on such orders.

v.) Which credit cards do you accept?

All types of “Flexible friends”…

As a well-established internet company, Kudos are willing to accept all major credit cards: Mastercard, Visa, Switch, etc. On WorldPay’s secure payment page, you will see the selection of permitted cards and be prompted to select your personal preference.

vi.) How secure will my credit card information be when ordering online?

Safety first…

As a reputable and well-established internet company, we are well aware of the potential security threats on e-Commerce. In response, we take the security of our customers and transactions very seriously and ensure that shopping online with Kudos is safe and trustworthy.

All our transactions are secured and supported by Worldpay systems and consequently no credit/debit card details are stored on our server. Any other details that may be requested are solely for the purpose of creating a better service for you, our customers, and we promise that they will not be divulged to third parties of any nature.

vii.) How can I check on an order placed?

Where in the “Order Process” is my order?...

After you have placed an order, the Kudos team will perform standard security procedures on your address details and if satisfactory, you will receive confirmation by email that the order has been accepted by Kudos. Within a short period of time, you shall receive a further email informing you that your goods have been dispatched.

These are two standard and generic communications, however, at Kudos we believe in an interactive service and so very often you will be emailed personally by one of our representatives. Similarly, if you should have any concerns or queries during the order process, we would strongly encourage you to Contact Us and we will reply as soon as possible.

4. Shipping / Delivery

i.) When should I expect to receive my order?

The eagerly anticipated products…

Your Kudos order will be accepted/rejected on the next working day at the latest (this excludes banks holidays). If in stock, the goods will be dispatched within 48 hours. Residents within the U.K. should expect to receive delivery within 7 days of ordering. Additionally, customers outside the U.K. should expect delivery between 12-14 days from the date they have been dispatched. Respectively, you will be contacted and notified as to when your order has been accepted and consequently dispatched. If there is the unlikely event of a delay, you will be quickly contacted and informed of its nature.

ii.) How will my order be delivered?

Trusted…

For the security of all deliveries, all orders over £30 will require a signature upon delivery. We most commonly use three widely recognized and well-tested delivery services. Two of these apply to deliveries within the U.K. Orders over the value of £30, are delivered by Royal Mail First Class Signed For. Additional next day services are available at checkout.

Alternatively, orders above this value will be delivered using Royal Mail Signed for or Royal Mail Special Delivery, depending on weight. Lastly, all orders outside of the U.K. will be carried using the International Signed For Service.

  

iii.) How much is postage and packaging?

Ready to go…

As standard, packaging refers to all items being securely packaged and this service is free.

Postage costs relative to your particular order shall be viewed at the payment page of the order process before you perform the transaction. They range from as little as £1 within the UK and £2 outside the UK.

iv.) Can I order now but delay my delivery to a more convenient time?

Going on holiday?...

If there is a certain date on which delivery would be more convenient for you, we shall delay dispatching the goods and ensure they arrive on that day. This service is appreciated in the event of customers leaving their homes on holiday or for other reasons. It may also be appropriate for birthday surprises.

Within the online ordering process, there is a comments box on the address page. Please indicate here if you would like us to delay delivery for any length of time. Alternatively you can contact us directly and advise us on delivery of the respective order.

v.) What happens if I miss the Postman?

Empty house?...

If no one is home at the time of delivery, the postman will leave a card, stating that the package has been returned to your region’s local sorting office. It will remain there for personal collection. You may be required to produce I.D. on collection.
