Making a purchase
Purchasing online
EEMUA accepts online payments by credit card (Visa and MasterCard) and American Express. If you experience difficulties when ordering by card, please proceed with the order selecting the Invoice option. You can then email sales@eemua.org with your Order Number to request a call back or phone the EEMUA team on +44 (0) 207 488 0801 and ask to speak to someone in our sales department.
We do not charge for any item until it is ready to ship. If EEMUA does not have the publication you have ordered in stock immediately, we will order further copies and will not charge you until your order is shipped.
Invoices for purchases are available to view in the My Orders section of My EEMUA.
Alternative ways to purchase
EEMUA operates a ‘cash with order’ policy. If you are not purchasing online, we will confirm, in the first instance, that we have received your order, but a contract will not exist between us at that point. If you are an EEMUA member company employee, you will be entitled to a member discount of the same amount as you would have received if you had purchased online.
If you choose not to make payment online, you may provide your credit card information to us by phone. You may also pay by bank draft or cheque. Please note: if you are outside the UK and are not purchasing by credit card, you must make payment in Sterling either through a bank draft in GB Pounds or a cheque in GB Pounds.
We will not be able to despatch your order until we have received payment in full. We do this in case we have made a mistake in pricing or can’t supply a publication you have ordered. If the price has changed, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable and that you still want to go ahead with your order.
Shipping and handling
Orders will normally be dispatched by 'Royal Mail Signed For' to addresses in the UK, and by 'Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed' in the rest of the world. If your order is to be delivered by courier, we will normally use DHL or another recognised courier service.
