I received a message at checkout stating 'not all of your products are available in the requested quantity' - what does this mean?

This error means that you are trying to order a higher quantity of an item than we have available, and the product is discontinued and is no longer an going to be an active line (therefore backorders cannot be accepted in this instance). The items need to be removed from your basket before proceeding to checkout.


I received a message at checkout stating 'sorry, no quotes are available for this order at this time' - what does this mean?

This means there is an issue with your address on our system. Please contact us here and we will rectify this for you.


What is quick order and how do I use it?

The quick order function can be found here. To use the quick order function, you need to create a CSV file with two columns named 'sku' and 'qty' - you can find a demo CSV to use on the quick order webpage. You can then add the product codes plus your desired quantities to the columns. Make sure you are saving as CSV file. You can then upload the file to our quick order page by clicking 'choose file', locating your file, and then by clicking the blue submit button. If successful, the CSV file will be uploaded and the items you have requested will automatically have been added to your basket. You can then checkout as normal.

If you receive an error stating 'Errors found in provided CSV file - error report returned detailing the items not added to your basket. Download error report.', this means there is a problem with the one or more of the items you have requested. If you click the 'download error report' link, you will be provided with a file detailing the errors. The report only shows items with errors and will show one of two things:

  • 'We don’t have as many qty for sku’ – this means you have tried to order more than what is available and it is an item that cannot be backordered.
  • 'We don’t have request sku product’ – this means the product is not currently on our website (this could mean an incorrect product code, the product is embargoed, the product is obsolete or not yet available.)


I have received an error whilst using your website and I don't know what it means, can you help?

Please contact us here and our website team will look into resolving this for you.
