E-Commerce Information |
For your convenience our online ordering system is available 24 hours a day every day, allowing you to place orders at any time.
Howards are pleased to inform you that in order to combine ultimate efficiency with total security, we have integrated a superior level of e-commerce within our website.
All major worldwide credit and debit cards are accepted
Our system allows payment by all the major worldwide credit and debit cards.
All major worldwide currencies are accepted
As a British business, our prices are stated in UK Pounds. Worldwide orders are charged at the local equivalent, at the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Immediately prior to payment, you may use our currency converter feature to confirm the equivalent cost of your order in your own currency.
Transactions are direct with your card issuer
We have arranged Direct Merchant Status with the world-leading secure e-commerce provider NetBanx. This means that your card information is verified directly and immediately by the issuer, who then simply notifies ourselves that payment has been made.Potential security problems concerning your confidential credit card information are entirely avoided, since your card details are NEVER SENT ANYWHERE IN AN E-MAIL.
NetBanx secure server
When you are ready to enter your credit card details, you are transferred from our website directly to the Secure Severe at NetBanx. The NetBanx Secure Server connects directly to the secure server at the bank that issued your credit card for immediate transaction approval.
Total Security
We have chosen this method of e-commerce because it is by far and away the most secure method available - it is considerably safer than, for example, paying by credit card over the telephone, where you can have no knowledge of the honesty of the individual that you are entrusting your credit card details to.

Technical Notes |
Our online ordering system requires that your browser has full javascript compatibility. Both Explorer and Netscape versions 3 onwards are fully compatible by default.
If you have adjusted your security settings or are using one of the various "content protection" programmes, you may find that you are unable to achieve full functionality with this and many other websites that utilise scripting for advanced functionality.
NB: Some early versions of IE5 are known to have inherent scripting problems. There are various patches available at www.microsoft.com although it may be more convenient to simply re-install a newer version of IE5 from any cover-disc.
