Here at John Hutchings, we have worked hard to make sure ordering is as easy as possible, however sometimes a little bit of guidance doesn't go amiss! In the frequently asked questions section you will find all the most commonly asked questions our customers ask us about ordering.
After you have made your payment, Lloyds Cardnet (for Card Payments) or PayPal should return you back to our website, where you will see an order confirmation page with the heading THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORDER, this is confirmation that the payment has authorised correctly and your order has been submitted to the website for further processing by our warehouse team. You should also receive an email within a few minutes of placing your order which will also provide a summary of what you have ordered. If you do not have appeared to have received this email confirmation in your email INBOX, please check in your SPAM or JUNK email folder as your email app may have incorrectly treated the email as a junk or spam email by mistake.
If you are not returned back to our website and don't see an order confirmation with the heading THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORDER and your order did not return from the Lloyds Cardnet (card payments) or PayPal payment processing pages, then there may be an authorisation issue. Whilst this doesn't always affect your payment i.e., we do actually receive the payment, it results in the order not being finalised on our website.
The first thing to do is DON'T PANIC, we can check for your transaction and retrieve your order, but this sometimes may not always be spotted immediately, so may slightly delay the processing of your order.
This authorisation error can sometimes be caused by virtual wallet systems such as Apple Pay or Google Pay as they use a slightly different authorisation system due to the fact they are using virtual card details in place of your actual card details
If you believe you have been affected by this issue, please contact us and let us know the date and value of your order and we can look into this further for you.
Your order goes through a number of stages as we process your order and despatch it out to you. At each stage your order is updated to one of the statuses below, you will receive a confirmation email for your information. These statuses are:
