To complete payment, click on the basket icon in the top right hand corner or click ‘Checkout’ from the pop up once the item has been added to your basket. Confirm your selection and sizes are correct and proceed to checkout.


You’ll be prompted to enter your personal information, including email address, postal address, payment details and your preferred delivery method. Once this has been done and payment has been completed, you’ll receive an email to confirm that your order was successful.

Can I change my order?


You can, but please email [email protected] as soon as possible! All orders placed before 5pm are dispatched the same working day and once your order has reached a certain point within the dispatch process, we are unable to make any changes to it. We can only make changes that do not increase the value of your order.


Back to top


Can I add an item to my order?


Once payment has been processed, we’re unfortunately no longer able to edit your order.


If you’d like to purchase anything else from us, this will have to be ordered separately. If you place two separate orders on the same day and contact us to let us know (quoting both order numbers), we’ll do everything we can to make sure they’re sent out together. Any additional postage costs incurred will then be refunded to you as soon as possible.


Back to top


Can I cancel my order?


We appreciate that circumstances could arise in which you may need to cancel your order.

This is possible, but please be quick to request cancellation. Unfortunately once an order has reached a certain point in the dispatch process, it can no longer be cancelled, but if you can email [email protected] as soon as possible, we can try to help you. Please note that all orders placed before 5pm will be dispatched the same working day.

Do I have to order online?


Yes, we are currently unable to accept orders over the phone.

Can I place an order by telephone?

Back to top


Can I pay with PayPal?


Forenastore.com does accept PayPal payments. As a security measure, if the delivery address on your order is not a confirmed address on your PayPal account, you will receive an email to your PayPal registered email address for confirmation before your order is accepted. Once you reply to this email, your order will be considered authorised and we will dispatch it to your selected address.


Please reply to any emails as soon as possible. Forena cannot be held liable for any delays to delivery incurred as a result of your failure to respond.


Back to top


You have asked me to confirm my address, why?


When you pay using PayPal, we receive a notification from PayPal to advise us if the delivery address provided is confirmed on your PayPal account. If they advise us that the address provided is unconfirmed, we need to receive confirmation from you in writing to allow us to send your order. Simply reply to the email we send you to confirm that the delivery address is correct and we'll dispatch your order as soon as we can. If we don't get a reply to the email within 7 days, unfortunately we'll have to cancel your order and process a full refund.


When you pay using your credit/debit card, various checks are carried out to protect your card from fraudulent activity. The most common check is to ensure that your billing address accurately matches that held by the card issuing bank. If some of the details match, but not all, we will email the email address provided to ask you to confirm. If none of the details match, then your order will simply be cancelled and refunded and you will receive an email to confirm this.


Back to top


When will the payment go out of my account?


As soon as you place your order, the payment will be taken from your account. We won’t process your order until we receive the payment.


Back to top

Why has my card been charged but my order didn't go through?

Please contact us if you think this is the case, however in most circumstances we have not charged you and it is what is known as a "shadow transaction" showing on your account.

When you attempt to confirm and pay we send an authorisation to your bank/card issuer and they reserve the funds by placing a shadow transaction on your account. This ensures that you cannot spend this money elsewhere. If the payment fails or you abandon the payment, we will not request these funds and so your bank will release them back to you. This shadow transaction may remain on your account for up to 6 days and unfortunately this is completely out of our control.

Back to top


What currency do you use?


All products sold on our website are currently in GBP. Orders made from outside the UK will automatically be converted to your national currency by your card provider/Pay Pal at the current exchange rate.


Back to top

What is 'Verified by Visa' and MasterCard 'SecureCode'?


Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode are services to help protect your card details when shopping online. They allow you to create your own password which only you know and you will be asked to use this every time you shop online with one of these cards. For more information about these services, visit Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode.

Do your prices include VAT?


Yes. Any items purchased from Forenastore.com are inclusive of VAT. This is a UK registered website and we have no legal obligation to offer VAT free shopping to customers outside of the EU.

Part of my order is missing, will it get sent separately?

It is rare that we send items separately and we would normally notify you if this was the case.

I can't checkout, is there a problem with your website?

If the items are still available on the website and you are still unable to checkout, please contact us via email [email protected] and we’ll do our best to help you. It would really help us if you could let us know details of the browser (eg Google Chrome) you are using.


Back to top


Why doesn't my discount code work?


This is probably because the items you have purchased are already reduced in our sale. The following Terms and Conditions apply to all promotion codes or discount code offers (including Student Discount).


1. Discount Codes and offers are valid on full price items only

2. Offers exclude all Gift Cards and any 'Exclusive Web Price' products

3. To take advantage of an offer, the relevant Promotion Code must be entered at the checkout

4. No cash or any other alternative will be given

5. The discount codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer

6. Refunds on any item(s) purchased using a discount code will be less the discount obtained

7. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected

8. Forena cannot be held responsible for third party websites failing to list voucher codes terms and conditions.


If your order meets all these requirements and the discount code still hasn't worked then the likelihood is that your discount code has expired and is no longer valid.
