Placing an order with Dots4u.co.uk is easy. There's no need to create an account first. You will have done that once you've placed your first order online.

First, you will need to browse or search for the items you would like to order. Keyword search boxes are located on every page of our store. You will also find a list of links to browse in the left side navigation bar of each page. When you find an item that interests you, click title or name of the item to see its product information page. Here you will find a detailed description of the item. If the item is in a graded music exam list of alternative titles this will be indicated. Other items in the same list will be indicated.

If you want to order an item from Dots4u.co.uk, click the "Add to Basket" button on the item's product information page. Once you've added an item to your shopping basket, use the basket's top navigation bar or the "Continue Shopping" button to keep searching or browsing until your basket contains all of the items you want to order. Quantities can also be amended on the basket page. You can access the contents of your basket at any time by clicking the Shopping Basket icon at the top of every page of our Web Site.

Payment methods we accept
We accept payments by all major credit/debit cards, Visa / MasterCard / Amex. Most items from Dots4u are free of VAT, but where an item is liable to VAT, EU residents pay the VAT inclusive price (vat at present is 17.5%). All non-EU purchasers are exempt from VAT and therefore liable to pay the VAT exclusive price.
Tell-a-friend
Perhaps you need to get second opinion about a product you have chosen, or perhaps you find something that might suit a family member or friend.

Using this service, Dots4u will email your friend a link to the product suggested by you. This email is normally sent out within 30 seconds after submission of the appropriate data.

Tracking your package
Our Tracking system allows you to see how your order is progressing through the system. If it is in stock it will be shipped the same day. If it is out of stock it will be ‘on order’ and will be shipped in 3-10 days. We will indicate the date when we ship the order.
