You can change the currency in which prices are shown on the shop web site pages at any point, using the drop-down menu within the currency converter module on the right of each page. Once you have chosen a currency, this choice will remain the default setting for all prices for the rest of your session on our site.

Please note: all converted prices are approximate, and are provided for your convenience of reference only.

However, the price you will actually be charged depends on the rate at the point of billing (when we despatch your order to you), rather than the estimated converted total at point of order.
