- Order number
- Purchased products
- Total amount paid

Please retain your confirmation for future reference.
If you do not receive it, check your spam or junk folder and contact info@thehandlefactory.uk if assistance is needed.

If a payment fails, please do not repeatedly submit the same transaction without checking whether a payment has already been authorised.
You can
1. Confirm that your payment details are correct.
2. Check your available balance or credit limit.
3. Complete any authentication requested by your bank.
4. Contact your payment provider.
5. Try another available checkout method.

If you believe you have been charged more than once or notice an unexpected transaction associated with your order, please contact us.
Provide
- Your order number, if available
- The date of the transaction
- The amount charged
- A brief description of the issue
Do not provide your full card number, security code, or online banking credentials.
We will review the available order and payment records and advise you on the appropriate next steps.
For suspected unauthorised transactions, you should also contact your bank or card issuer promptly.
11Refunds & Payment Reversals
Approved refunds are generally issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.
Our standard refund processing target is within 10 calendar days, subject to applicable UK statutory refund deadlines.
Once a refund has been issued, the time required for the funds to appear in your account may depend on your bank or payment provider.
We do not charge restocking fees for eligible returns.
For complete information, please review our Returns & Refunds Policy.

If you wish to cancel an order, please contact us promptly.

If the order has already been dispatched, applicable cancellation and return rights may still apply.
For further information, please review our Order Cancellation Policy.
13Payment Security & Fraud Prevention
To protect customers and reduce unauthorised transactions, payment processors may conduct security checks.
In some circumstances, an order may require additional verification before fulfilment.
We may contact customers to clarify order information where reasonably necessary.
We will never ask you to disclose your payment card security code, online banking password, or one-time authentication code by email or telephone.
If you receive a suspicious payment request claiming to be from The Handle Factory, please contact us through our official website.
