About shopping with us
At musicinajiffy, we aim to provide you with the music accessories you need - in a jiffy!
Secure shopping online.
The team at musicinajiffy are musicians, instrument repairers and engineers who run a music shop and an instrument repair business in Sherborne in north west Dorset. These are our specialities. Secure payments are PayPal's speciality.
Ordering
Our website shows you the accessories you can order over the internet. You can pay for these with your debit or credit card or directly from your PayPal account. PayPal handle both card and PayPal payments for us.
You can add what you want to your shopping cart and finally click the Go to Checkout button in the shopping cart page. If our stock levels for an item are too low, then you will not be shown that particular item, nor that particular item's variant to choose from.
Quantities and prices
Each time you add an item to the musicinajiffy shopping cart you will be shown its current contents. At this stage you can adjust the quantity or remove the item from the cart. Again, you will not be able to order more than we currently have in stock.
Once you are happy that your shopping cart contains everything it should, click the Go to Checkout button and your order details will be passed to PayPal's secure payment website.
Security and payments
Notice that the page's address bar references PayPal's Extended Validation (EV) Certificate green icon. In Firefox it looks like this: 
You can click on the green icon to display a summary of their credentials and to satisfy yourself that it is PayPal with whom you are dealing securely at the payments stage.
Your order information is transmitted in an encrypted form over an authenticated connection between musicinajiffy and PayPal, so each of us knows who we are communicating with. No personal details, apart from your name and shipping address, are communicated from PayPal's website to musicinajiffy's.
musicinajiffy is Wessex Woodwind's companion website; so when you get to the secure payment pages it will mention both musicinajiffy and Wessex Woodwind as shown in the second screenshot below.
Credit card payments
This is what PayPal's pay by credit card page looks like:
If you don't have a PayPal account
If you don't see the above form right away and you wish to pay by credit card, then click the Continue link just above the credit card logos.
If you do have a PayPal account it's probably easier for you to use that rather than typing in your delivery address and validating the credit card - in either case it's all the same to musicinajiffy; we receive the delivery addess and payment details from PayPal.
