Dolls House Parade

General Interest

Our online eCommerce shop is a totally secure environment where you can shop safe in the knowledge that no one can view details of your transactions.

Dolls' House Parade is dedicated to making sure your transaction and contact information remain totally private. Secure socket layer (SSL for short) 128 bit encryption software is used when data is sent through the internet, and remains encrypted so that no one else can see your personal and confidential information. Membership of the Which? Webtrader Scheme further confirms the integrity of the site.

To see if a page is secure, look at the padlock icon (usually at the bottom of the page). If it is closed then any information entered into the page is fully encrypted. These secure pages will normally only be found in Checkout pages - where the customer is entering their own details.

If the lock is not closed - the page is not secure. (Please note that, as a customer you will only be entering personal information in the check-out area of the site).

To see details of our Certificate click on the Thawte Logo above For ultimate peace of mind click on the closed lock icon and read details of the SSL digital certificate.

If you have any worries or questions about security, please feel free to contact us.

We accept all the major credit/debit cards

Please see our security information for details of the way we protect our customers with regard to the use of credit cards.

This site incorporates a multi-currency feature, which allows you to see prices in the currency of your choice. You will be able to shop in that currency and your invoice will show your spending in the same currency.

When we receive your order it will be processed by us in GB pounds (£). Your payment card company will then bill you in your "home currency". Please note that the exchange rate used on our Web Site may vary slightly from that used by your card processing company when they charge the items to your account.
