As part of our ongoing mission to improve the website and give you the best online shopping experience possible, we have changed the way the left navigation works to cut down on the number of clicks you have to make. Clicking on a section now shows a drop-down menu with the choices beneath it, so that you can get to the section you want to see as quickly as possible.

Either call the mail order team on 08453 76 76 69, send us an email at enquiries@runnersneed.com or call your nearest store direct - for details, visit the store pages. Please make sure that you have the product code to hand - this can be found on the product details page just to the right of the 'Add to Shopping Bag' button.

• Ordered/In Progress (Exported) - This means that the items have been located in our picking system and we are waiting for them to come to our dispatch team. We pick items from our warehouse and stores. Warehouse items will arrive to our dispatch team on the same day if the order was placed before 16:00. Store items can take up to 3 days to arrive and are inspected on arrival. In the rare case that there has been damage to the item in transit, we re-pick a replacement from another store, however, this can add a couple days to the delivery time. In some cases the item will still be on order with our supplier. In these cases you will be contacted by one of our sales team and informed of the expected delivery date.
• Dispatched - We've sent your order via Royal Mail or courier to you. You will receive an email with the tracking number, which is also available on your account page. Click here to login. All parcels go on a 48 hour service from dispatch.
• Complete - Someone has signed for the item and it has been delivered by the courier.

When you place your order, we do do a pre-authorisation. This just checks that all the details are correct and that there's enough money in your account to be able to place the order. We don't actually take any money from your bank account/credit card until we dispatch the goods.

Gift vouchers can be used in store. If you can't get to a store, post them to us here at the Mail Order department with your contact details. We'll then get in touch with you and place the order over the phone, putting any remaining balance on your credit card. We recommend that you post gift vouchers to us on a Royal Mail Recorded Service, as they remain your responsibility until they reach us.

Yes, Our payment system will accept all major cards including Amex, Visa and Mastercard. We don't currently accept payments through Paypal or any other third party payment service.

We are hoping to have VAT free shopping available on the website in the very near future. Until then, we refund the VAT to you a minimum of 30 days after we dispatch the goods. Please see our terms and conditions for further details.

There are several reasons why an item you ordered may not have been received:

• Missing or delayed order: Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days (from date of dispatch). Please check the email that was sent on the day your order was dispatched for up-to-date information on it's location. if you have any further queries, please contact us on 08453 76 76 69.
• Item not yet available: Occasionally we have stock listed on the website that hasn't yet arrived from the supplier. In this case, we will notify you via email within 48 hours of receiving the order and will then dispatch the item to you as soon as stock is available. Please note that your card is not charged until the order is dispatched.
• Item temporarily out of stock: If an item goes out of stock and we expect to receive new stock within a reasonable time frame, we will hold your order and dispatch the item to you as soon as stock is available. Please note that your card is not charged until the order is dispatched.
• Item unavailable: If an item becomes unavailable (which means we are unexpectedly unable to fulfill you order and are unlikely to receive new stock within a reasonable time) we will endeavour to notify you via email within 48 hours.
• Account declined (payment not processed): If we cannot process payment for any reason, we will contact you to retake your card details.

Should your parcel show signs of damage on receipt from the courier, please make a note of this on the courier's documents or if possible take photographs of the damaged areas of the packaging and the product(s). This will assist in any claims which may occur at a later date.

We use insured, traceable delivery services from the Royal Mail or DHL. 48 hour standard delivery is from the date of dispatch not the date of ordering, and is subject to stock availability from our warehouse. Where stock has to be picked from one of our stores, the delivery time may be extended. For goods out of stock, we will update you with our anticipated delivery date within 1 working day of receiving the order.

For your extra peace of mind all purchases are covered by our 21 day exchange or refund promise. If you change your mind, for whatever reason, bring back the items to one of our stores, as new, with the original receipt and packaging and we will be pleased to offer you an exchange or immediate refund - no hassles, no questions, for your total piece of mind. (In some cases other guarantees may take precedence. This does not affect your statutory rights).

If there's any balance due, the store can take the remainder of the payment over the counter.

You can take the item back to your closest Runners Need store for a refund or exchange.

A member of the mail order team will then get in contact with you to discuss the options available.

Many thanks for your interest in being sponsored by us! As you can appreciate, we get approached to contribute to many charitable and sporting events. Although we would love to support everyone in their fundraising challenges, we only have a limited budget set aside for such activities. We work with a number of charities each year supporting their runners training for marathons and other running events. If you are a charity and would like to be considered for the following calendar year, please email marketing@runnersneed.com including the number of runners fundraising for your charity and details of any events where you are the official charity. Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to support individual fundraising efforts, however we wish you luck whatever your endeavour. If you are an event organiser and would like to discuss event sponsorship please email marketing@runnersneed.com.
