Privacy Policy & Security Policy

Payment & Security

All prices are quoted in English Pounds Sterling. There are three payment options, depending on how the order is originated:-

Payment By Debit/Credit Card

We accept all main Credit and Debit cards

For your protection & peace of mind, we have elected to outsource the processing of debit/credit card payments to PayPal – the worlds leading online payment processing company.

We are therefore never in possession of any of your debit or credit card information for payments made directly through the site, which is only ever entered on a secure payment processing page hosted by PayPal.

If you prefer, you can order and pay over phone on 02476 422000, upon ordering a PayPal invoice can be sent by email, which will guide you to where card details can be entered on a secure page hosted by PayPal or details can be taken over the phone and entered directly into our virtual terminal.

Payment By Cheque

You can of course, if you prefer, send a cheque or postal order by post made out to Defenda Transport & Logistics Ltd, trading as Defenda Couriers
