HOW TO CHECK YOU ARE SECURE
One of the most recommended ways to be sure your online transaction is safe is to look for the locked padlock icon in your web browser’s URL bar. When you see the locked padlock it is telling you two things: • That the site you are using has a verified SSL certificate which is valid and usable. • That your browser has accepted the SSL certificate and has triggered encryption of data between your computer and our site. In addition, on many modern browsers, the address bar at the top of the browser will turn green. This means that not only is the connection secured, but VeriSign Extended Validation has authenticated the identity of First Saddlery. Extended Validation is used by major online businesses, including HSBC, PC World, eBay etc. Whilst shopping with us, the address in your browser should always start http://www.firstsaddlery.co.uk. If you are in doubt about the authenticity of the site you are viewing, or wish to double check, clicking on the VeriSign logo (displayed on most pages on our website) will allow you to check the validation directly with VeriSign.
PAYPAL
If you choose to pay via PayPal you will be redirected to PayPal via a secure connection. Once you have completed your transaction with PayPal you be redirected back to our site, where we will complete your order as normal. We are a PayPal Verified Seller and have been since we opened in October 2011.
MCAFEE SECURE

McAfee Secure tests our site daily using a set of security scans to enable us to remain confident that we are doing everything possible to ensure your online safety whilst on our site.
SECURITY TIPS
If you are using a shared computer always remember to log out once you have finished on any website. Closing your web browser may not be enough and it is always best to use the log out button on a website. Never write down your password and always keep it a secret. You should also change your password at regular intervals, or immediately if you suspect it has been compromised. When creating a password it is best to choose a combination of both numbers and letters. Avoid using parts of your email, postal address, date of birth or your name.
Order Tracking
An email will be sent out when the order has been despatched. It will include details of the courier service used and how to track your item.
Delivery Information
STANDARD UK MAINLAND DELIVERY
We aim to dispatch goods from our warehouse within 48 hours. Occasionally at busy times this may take a little longer. You will be notified by email if this is likely. In exceptional circumstances, please allow 28 days for delivery.
Smaller items are delivered by Royal Mail. Delivery is normally next day but is Royal Mail dependant and can take 3-5 working days.
Heavier parcels over 15kg may need to be posted in two parcels therefore incurring a second charge. Please contact us if you have any questions about heavy deliveries on 07547 179052.RETURNS AND REFUNDS
If you return an item to us within 14 days in perfect condition, complete with the original packaging, we will be happy to exchange or refund you the original price (excluding postage and packaging). This does not affect your statutory rights.
Please note special order items and underwear cannot be returned or exchanged unless faulty. You must make your own arrangements to return goods to us and you will be responsible for the cost of return unless goods are faulty. We recommend that you obtain proof of postage as you are responsible for the returned goods until they arrive in our warehouse. We will not accept soiled items, so when trying rugs on horses etc use a clean sheet under the rug to ensure it does not get grubby and covered in hairs. If you are returning a heavy item such as a saddle, you can give us a call and we may be able to arrange a courier to collect the parcel from you (depending on location). There will be a small charge for this service (£10.00) which is usually less than the Post Office charges. If you wish to return an item please complete the returns note on your despatch note, include it in your parcel stating clearly your requirements whether you require an exchange of goods or a refund and post it to: Returns Department First Saddlery Meikle Mosside Fenwick Ayrshire KA3 6AY
