We get a lot of emails asking us about prices for our products in various currencies so we have implemented a system that allows you to choose a currency then see our whole shop and checkout in that currency, calculated at current rates

Just click on one of the flags at the top right of our shop pages or click on the “Change Display Currency” link to select your country.

Go to our online shop and give it a try

We display prices and shopping baskets in £ Sterling with a facility to choose your own currency as well.  The conversions are based on current rates from sourced from multiple feeds including Reuters on a daily basis.  The rates used are known as spot rates or interbank rates and should be a reliable guide to the actual rates you will be charged by your card company.

We will charge your card in £ Sterling and, if appropriate, your credit card company will convert at their current rate to your local currency. You should see our company name and both the £ Sterling and local currency amounts on your credit card statement. This is exactly the same process that happens if your use your card in a shop or restaurant outside your own country.

Note that the rate your card company use to convert the amount for your card statement may be slightly different, but it should be pretty close.  We do not make any charges for using a credit card whatever currency your account is in and it is unlikely your card company will make a charge either.

If you want the check currency rates from other sources, you can type a currency conversion question into the Google search box and get an answer, e.g. search for “30 uk pounds in us dollars”.

Or you can use a currency conversion website like www.xe.com/ucc/ or the Yahoo currency converter here http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-converter/
