SECTION 3 - ORDERS


All orders are subject to acceptance and availability, and items in your shopping basket are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers.

Main Story offers products for sale that are in stock and available for dispatch. Occasionally however, we may be waiting for shipments from our suppliers. Consequently you may from time to time be given the possibility of making an advance payment for certain items in which case you are able to make an advance purchase. This will ensure that you receive this item in priority once stock has been delivered to Main Story.

Main Story will only take advance purchase orders for stock that has been scheduled for delivery by a supplier. Your rights regarding advance purchase are the same as those for any other purchase at Main Story. Alternatively, you may simply choose to register your email address for notification of arrival of new merchandise.

Items received into stock may be pre-allocated to satisfy advance payment orders, and customers making advance payments will receive items in priority to customers on the waiting list or customers ordering through the site for immediate delivery. Please be aware that we may be unable to deliver selected advance payment merchandise due to production problems or quality check issues identified when we receive an order into stock. In these circumstances we will notify you by email and refund the advance payment to your credit/debit card within thirty days of being advised that merchandise has become unavailable.

If you have registered your email address for notification of the arrival of a specific product featured on our site, we will attempt to notify you by email within 48 hours of the product becoming available on the site. Please be aware that on occasion certain products that are in particularly high demand will sell out during this period.
