Payment & Delivery

Payment

I don't want to send my credit card details over the Internet, how else can I pay?
There are many ways you can pay for goods from GroTec other than online credit card payments. Once you have completed your online shopping you will be asked how you wish to pay for your goods. You will be given a series of options:-

Print and Post (cash, cheques, postal orders, bring money to retail outlet) -
When this option is selected a pop-up window will open showing your completed order. You can then print this screen and send it along with your chosen method of payment (cash, cheques or postal orders) to

Mail Order department,
GroTec
393 Manchester Rd
Rochdale
OL11 3PG.

As an alternative you can print your order out and bring payment into our retail outlet.
Note: It is always recommended that registered post or special delivery are used to ensure the payment is safe and insured against loss or theft.

Paying money directly into the GroTec bank account -
We have a special bank account set up that you can pay money into. Once you have chosen your goods and selected this method of payment you will be given the total cost of your order.

As soon as the money shows in our account, usually within twenty four hours, then we will send your order out.

Who should I make cheques payable to?
Please make all cheques payable to GroTec UK.

Why will you only deliver goods to the credit / debit card holders address?
This is a method of fraud protection used to protect our customers. This way we are sure that the person that is paying for the goods receives the goods.
