Payment by Cheque
We accept payment by Sterling cheque drawn on UK bank accounts. Payment from outside the UK will require a Certified Cheque in GBP currency. Maps will be posted only after cheques have been cleared at the bank. An invoice will be provided on request.
Payment by PayPal
Payment by PayPal is the very convenient. PayPal was developed by eBay to enable secure, rapid transactions exchanging all currencies between individuals and small businesses. It has expanded to provide the same excellent service beyond the eBay world. All purchases with PayPal use e-mail invoicing which is a reliable, simple and secure service. PayPal lets you use your credit card or debit card to make payments. You will need to provide your preferred credit or debit card during a secure transaction, but you do not need to be a PayPal account holder to use this service. Read about PayPal Privacy.
Upon our confirmation that the map, book or illustration is available and your acceptance of the price including postage, we will send a PayPal invoice by e-mail. The secure e-mail from PayPal will instruct you to select your preferred payment method and complete the transaction. A receipt confirming payment will be sent to you by e-mail. Orders will be posted on the same or next day on our receipt of the PayPal payment confirmation.
