Internet Security

Every on-line transaction made within Bradshaw and Lloyd’s online store is transmitted across the Internet using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. This industry standard method ensures that information sent from your browser is scrambled whilst in transit and decoded when it arrives on our server.

 You are far safer using your credit card here than you are in a restaurant in your local high street.

We take the issue of security very seriously and have taken every step possible to protect you. Our servers sit behind a state of the art hardware firewall and the computer that handles the card services at our premises also maintains an encrypted connection with the Bradshaw and Lloyd server, and is not itself accessible from the Internet. We have employed the services of one of the country's leading secure transaction providers, Barclays Merchant Services, to ensure that security remains as tight as possible.

We have made buying from this store as secure and simple as possible.

The store has a virtual shopping basket, which stores items placed within it for up to four hours. Each item for sale will have an 'order' button. When you press this button you are taken to the order-processing page where the item will be automatically added to your basket. You can input a quantity for each item you are purchasing, decide to continue shopping, remove an item from the basket, or check out and place your secure order. It is at this time you would be asked for your name and address and then your credit card details. From within the store you can view items in the shopping basket and amend them accordingly simply by going to the 'show order' section.

Common reasons for problems when pressing the 'order' button are;

i) You are using an old browser that doesn't support SSL encryption.
ii) You are browsing from behind a corporate firewall that will not allow secure connections.- Speak to the system administrator at your office. They will either fix the problem or you will have to order either from another location or offline.
