All order must go through the Secure Internet Shopping Basket, we are unable to accept Telephone, emailed, Faxed or Posted orders. Card details (not orders) can be input online or phoned - please do not email or fax them. We reserve the right to cancel any order for any reason.
When you want to place an order for an item just put the quantity of that item that you wish to order in the quantity box.

You will be taken to your Shopping Basket where you can view and change the quantity of each item you have added (hit the RECALCULATE button after making any changes). You can delete an item by clicking the Trash icon next to that item. If you want to go back to the same page just use the CONTINUE SHOPPING button at the bottom of the Shopping Basket or any link on the Side Navigation Bar.
Each page where there are items to buy has a link to your Shopping Basket so you can view it at any time. There is also a link at the top of each page.
When you have finished shopping please hit the GO TO PAYMENTS Button and follow the instructions there. More detailed instructions on using the shopping basket can be found HERE.
You will be sent confirmation of your order by email almost straight away - this is the only receipt you will receive - if you do not receive one please let us know as your email address may be wrong. Please check your receipt and let us know if something is wrong - mistakes are much harder to correct later. We are unable to add items to orders or add orders together. If something is wrong on your order you will be given the option to cancel and re-order.
We will email you when the parcel has been posted - this is usually within 4 working days (UK only) of us receiving the order unless it contained a Pre-order item. All items in all orders containing items marked Pre-order will not be sent until the Pre-order item is in stock - please click HERE for more information. Please note these times may be extended during certain periods.
All prices include VAT (EU) and we reserve the right to increase prices if the standard VAT rate should increase.
Whilst CPU Enterprises strive to provide accurate information on this website, it assumes no responsibility for accuracy. All images and yarn details are intended as a guide only. We make sure the pictures of items shown on the website are as accurate as possible, however the colours you see will depend upon your monitor, therefore we cannot guarantee that your monitor will display the colours correctly. The term "book" refers to any collection of patterns which have a card cover and paper pages, it does not imply a hard back book.
These terms and conditions may be amended at any time without prior notice by us. Please check this page regularly to ensure you continue to abide by them.
All orders for delivery within the UK (except Pattern Leaflets & Loopas) will incur a postage and packing cost of £2.50. If you only order Pattern Leaflets the postage and packing cost is £0.85 (UK only) up to a limit of 20 patterns and will usually be sent in a board backed envelope. Sirdar Loopas are also charged at £0.85 (UK only) postage and packing. If you put a mixture of Loopas and Patterns in your shopping basket, the postage will change to £2.50 before the 20 pattern limit.
UK includes the Channel Islands, Northern Ireland and all Scottish Islands classified within the UK by Royal Mail.
All orders to be shipped outside the UK will be charged full Royal Mail Airmail postage plus an admin charge to cover packaging etc. Customers outside the UK are responsible for any charges, including taxes and customs charges, that may be applicable to the delivery. Non-UK Orders are sent by Airmail and may take 5 working days or more from the time we send it. The time taken for delivery after we send your parcel is in the hands of Royal Mail and your local Mail Delivery Company.
Due to the nature of our goods it is difficult to establish Non-UK postage costs until the parcel is ready to send. We will always email you final costs prior to sending the order, giving you the option to cancel, unless you have stated otherwise in the Message Box. Your parcel will not be posted, and your Card will not be charged, until you reply to that shipping quote email - please note this will extend the delivery time.
UK Orders are usually processed and posted within four working days of DKY receiving the order (subject to stock availability) but please allow up to 14 days. Please note this may be extended during certain periods which are usually noted in the Shopping Basket. Any order containing a Pre-order item will be delayed as noted on the webpage it was ordered from - please click HERE for more information. The payment office is not open on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays so orders cannot be posted on these days. We are sorry but we cannot offer a guaranteed next day service at the moment.
We will notify you as soon as possible if we are out of stock giving you the choice of waiting, or cancelling and re-ordering. This will extend the delivery times stated.
The time taken for delivery after we send your parcel is in the hands of Royal Mail. Most UK parcels are sent Royal Mail First Class Post and should get to you the next working day after we post it. Larger UK parcels may be sent by parcel post, which has a 3 to 5 working day delivery time after we have posted it, or by 2 separate First Class Parcels at our discretion, however p+p would only be charged once.
Claims for non-delivery cannot be accepted unless we are notified by email within 30 days of the 'parcel sent' date. We are then in the Hands of the Royal Mail Lost Parcel System - please check out the Royal Mail website for more information on this. We cannot be held responsible for items damaged in the post. Most items are sent by Royal Mail - there is a claim form for damaged goods on their website.
If the parcel is returned to us as 'non-deliverable' we will charge postage at cost to us to re-send the parcel. Please check at your local Royal Mail sorting office if your order is more than a few days late. Undeliverable parcels are usually held there for a couple of weeks before sending back to us. Royal Mail should leave a card if they try to deliver while you are out but do not rely on this. We will email you to say your parcel has been sent, so please keep an eye out for it.
If you know you will not be at home there is room in the Shopping Basket for a different delivery address to the Card Holders address. However the first address in the shopping basket MUST be the Card Holders Address as it is used for Security Checks. Please Note - We are not able to give your local Royal Mail Postman instructions on what to do with the parcel if you are not at home.
We accept the following Credit and Debit Cards.
MASTERCARD, VISA CREDIT, VISA DELTA, VISA ELECTRON,
VISA DEBIT, MAESTRO, JCB, AMERICAN EXPRESS

Cash, Money Orders, Bank Drafts or Postal Orders.

The Direct Selling Regulations (DSR) allow you a cooling off period. This means you have the right to cancel your whole order within 7 working days from the day after you receive the goods without giving a reason. You must email us at before you send the parcel back as you will need a Return Code. No returns can be accepted without prior contact. All goods must be returned to us in an unopened and unused condition within 21 days of receipt with the Return Code on the outside of the parcel, using a recorded delivery service, at your own cost. This is for you own protection as we cannot be held responsible for goods that don't arrive. Please see the Contact Details below for the return address. A refund of goods will be made, or a Credit Note raised, within 30 days of CPU Enterprises receiving the goods back in a suitable condition for reselling*, assuming the above conditions have been followed. Special Offers, Discontinued Lines, End of Line, Pre-orders, Special Orders, Books and Pattern Leaflets are non-returnable under any circumstances. *Items received back which are not in a suitable condition for reselling because of smoke smells, dog hairs etc. will not be deemed to have been returned under DSR (see below).
The cooling off period does not apply to traders or if you are re-selling the goods in any way.
Please note we cannot accept part orders back under the DSR. Any items returned which do not comply with the DSR will be charged a 15% (with a minimum of £1.00) handling and re-stocking fee. However we reserve the right not to accept returns after the 7 days. No returns will be accepted without prior contact and agreement as you will need a Return Code for the outside of the Parcel. A credit note equal to the cost of the returned goods minus any fees will be raised for use on your next order. We will email you with the details you will need to put into the Vouchers Section in the Shopping Basket or a web page with more instructions. It is up to you to claim the credit note - there is usually a 1 month expiry on all Credit Notes but occasionally this is extended on request.
CPU Enterprises take the utmost care in ensuring you get what you order. If however any items received are not what was ordered or are faulty, you must notify us by emailing within 7 days of receipt.
All of the above do not affect your statutory rights.
