Following payment confirmation:

• An order confirmation may be issued.
• Product allocation will commence where applicable.

Failure to complete payment may result in delays, suspension of processing, or cancellation of the order.

All prices on our website include VAT, and the VAT amount is shown on your quotation and invoice. The only additional charge is the flat-rate delivery fee, which is shown before you pay.

Customers are responsible for reviewing all pricing information before completing payment.

6. Payment Security

We take payment security seriously and work with reputable UK banking partners that use industry-standard security measures to help protect customer information.

While no payment system can guarantee absolute security, we implement reasonable safeguards designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised access and fraudulent activity.

As all payments are made by bank transfer, SHIPPING AND STORAGE CONTAINERS UK LIMITED does not collect or store any payment card details.

7. Fraud Prevention and Verification

To protect our customers and maintain secure transactions, we reserve the right to:

• Request proof of identity.
• Verify billing information.
• Conduct payment security checks.
• Delay order processing while verification is completed.
• Refuse or cancel transactions suspected of fraud, unauthorised use, or unlawful activity.

Any suspected fraudulent activity may be reported to relevant financial institutions or law enforcement authorities.

Customers selecting bank transfer as their payment method are responsible for:

• Using the correct payment reference provided.
• Ensuring the full invoice amount is paid.
• Covering any bank charges or transfer fees where applicable.
• Making payment within the timeframe specified on the invoice.

Orders paid by bank transfer may not be processed until cleared funds have been received in our account.

9. Failed or Declined Payments

If a payment is declined, reversed, cancelled, or otherwise unsuccessful:

• The order may be placed on hold.
• Processing and delivery may be delayed.
• Product allocation may be suspended.
• The order may be cancelled if payment cannot be completed within a reasonable period.

Customers are responsible for resolving payment issues with their bank or financial institution where necessary.

Where applicable:

• Refunds will be issued to the original payment method whenever reasonably possible.
• Banking institutions and payment providers may require additional time for funds to appear in customer accounts.

Refund processing times may vary beyond our control.

11. Invoice Accuracy

Customers should review all quotations and invoices carefully before submitting payment.

If you believe an invoice contains an error, please contact us immediately so the matter can be reviewed before payment is made.

We reserve the right to correct any pricing, invoicing, tax, or administrative errors that may occur.
