Making A Purchase
Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our website and click on the "Add to Cart" button for any items that you wish to buy (this will put them into the shopping cart). After you have selected the items you wish to buy, click on "Checkout" and you will be asked for a few details that we need to complete the order.

We accept payment by credit card, debit card and cheques drawn on a UK bank. All credit card payments are processed through both PayPal and Nochex securely. This is the most secure way to pay. We DO NOT retain any credit card details even if you register for an account. We no longer take credit card payments over the phone as we prefer your credit card details not to be known by any staff of both CudaFly and Barracuda. If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to US Dollars or your own currency.

Check and postal orders are no longer taken as payment due to increased administrative costs.

We do not back order items unless expressed by you the customer. Cudafly will contact you ASAP and give you the option of back ordering however we will refund ASAP any items that are out of stock giving you the customer time to find alternative sources.

When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

All orders are preliminary until goods are shipped. We reserve the right to refuse or adjust orders where our internet system has displayed, entered or calculated the wrong amount. This has never happened yet but we need to cover ourselves against mistakes.

Special Offers & Free Gifts - All special offers are subject to availability. Free gifts and special offer discounts are only available at the time of ordering. CudaFly reserves the right to send free gifts at their discretion.

All registered customers receive 5% discount on all purchases. Discount will only be applied when the customer logs onto the CudaFly site during their purchase process. Any orders received from registered members who have not logged onto the CudaFly site will not have discount applied as our database system will not recognise that customer as registered. If you require your login details re sent please fill in the form on the CudaFly login page.

Shipping And Handling
All shipping is sent by Royal mail first class registered post. This ensures that all orders are received by the customer ASAP. As all packages have to be signed for we can also 'TRACK' your item should it go missing. Where possible, items ordered by 3.00 pm are usually dispatched the same day.

Delivery can be made to an address other than the cardholders (such as a work address or for sending gifts). We will normally include the receipt with goods unless asked to do otherwise - please use the 'delivery instructions' box on checkout to make such requests.

Shipping and handling is charged for UK destinations at a flat rate of £3.49.

Overseas Purchases

Whilst we will ship abroad it is important to note that we are not responsible for any Customs or territorial Regulations within the buyer's country.
The buyer is fully responsible to ensure that goods before purchase/buying are permitted into their country especially for some fly tying products such as feathers and natural materials. Please be aware that although all items on the CudaFly website are legally permissible for sale in the UK some countries may not permit importation.
We are not liable for duties or losses, nor will any of our shipping companies if goods are confiscated by custom authorities due to local regulations and laws in the buyer's jurisdiction.
This is especially relevant for products destined outside of the EU. If in doubt check with your local custom agency before purchasing.

Delivery Schedule
Orders received by 3pm are normally despatched the same day. We aim to dispatch all orders within 24 hours of receipt. (Note: Please expect any additional delays in times of UK public holidays and any postal strikes etc). Missing orders will not be replaced within 30 days of despatch, due to the Postal Service regulations. As we send your order right away you will normally receive your order in 3 to 7 business days . International orders are generally received in under 14 days but can take up to 21 days from dispatch.

You must inform us within two working days if the goods are damaged in transit so that we can make a prompt claim against the delivery company and correct the problem. Please quote your order number in all correspondence.

Back Orders
Although we have most items in stock for immediate delivery sometimes we cannot get the item you have ordered from our supplier. Unlike most fly tying web sites we do not back order outstanding items unless we have been requested to do so from you the customer. This means that if we do not have the item in stock we will reimburse your monies before the order is shipped via Paypal or Nochex. This gives you the customer complete peace of mind and does not result in waiting an excessive amount for your products.
