Dulwich Health Website - How It Works

Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our online shop, and add any items that you wish to buy into the cart. To order an item, simply click on the “add to cart” link next to the product and it will appear in your shopping cart. Once you have finished, you can review the contents of your cart by click on the “cart” on the top right. You can also checkout here, where you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

All products displayed on the web site are in stock. Orders are despatched the same day by Royal Mail First Class post.

We accept credit card or debit card payment secured though Opayo (Formerly SagePay*. If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to US Dollars or your own currency.

Your card is not charged until your order has been picked, packed and is ready for despatch. UK delivery time is usually 1-2 days, and international delivery time 3-7 days.

Your Shipping Costs
Please note that our shipping and handling costs are added to your order amount at the check out once we know where you want the item delivered.

Every parcel that we send out is insured against loss, theft or damage, so you can order with confidence – in the unlikely event that you do not receive your order, or receive an order which is damaged, then we will either refund you or resend the order free of charge.

If you’re in London, you can also visit our office where we have the whole range of our products that we have on our web site.

The small print
When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

*Opayo is the new name for SagePay. Who are one of the UK’s most trusted payment service provider (PSP). In 2019, their gateway processed £40bn worth of card payments for over 50,000 merchants, online and in-store. They changed their name because they were acquired by Elavon – a big name in payments and a subsidiary of U.S. Bank. 

The main reasons why customers may encounter problems using the shopping cart are that (a) customers are ordering from within a firewalled company network, or (b) ordering from a non-standard PC/Mac unit (eg a games console). In both these cases, the shopping cart may not function properly, so we recommend using a normal stand-alone PC/Mac where possible. Another possible source of problems is that the security settings on your web browser are set at maximum, which prevents your computer communicating with our server properly. If using Internet Explorer, adjust the security level slider to a medium setting.

For other browsers, “Java”, “JavaScript” and “Cookies” should all be enabled in the browser options.

All products listed are in stock, and our web site is updated in real time to ensure that stock levels are as accurate as possible. Very occasionally, an item may be subject to a stock level error – if this occurs, we will e-mail you to notify you of the unavailable item, and you will not be charged for it.

You will receive an immediate e-mail confirmation of each order from Dulwich Health, stating the items ordered and the total cost, followed by a second email from SagePay confirming payment details
