Payment In US Dollars And Euros

When paying by credit card in Euros or US Dollars the total amount in your shopping basket may not be exactly the same as what you will be charged on your credit card. We charge your credit card in £Sterling but it will always be shown on your credit card statement in your local currency. Sometimes there can be a slight variation in the rate the credit card companies calculate. As we have no control over this it is not always possible to have this totally accurate. In most cases you will actually find that the amount charged to your card is slightly less that what your shopping basket shows.
