Prices are going up! As you might have noticed these are turbulent times for the economy :) and the UK pound is now worth a lot less against both the dollar and the euro than it was a year ago. So we are gradually increasing the prices of imported stuff. It maybe that we will have to ask you to send more than is quoted online to get an item. If you order multiple items this is less likely and we'll try hard not to do it unless we are gonna lose some serious spondoolies!

NEW ON-LINE SHOP!

Yes folks coming soon will be an alll new Active webshop thingy with pictures and "buy buttons" and "shopping carts" to make it easier for you (and hopefully us) so start saving your pennies now!

We have a printed catalogue as well as this online one, send us an SAE if you want one!
We've stopped doing most of our t-shirts, and reduced the prices of most of what are left, many have run out so check first before you order.

EMAIL!
We get a lot of email so please be patient if you do not get a quick response.

The Active Crew have a busy times coming up catch us at the following events


DO NOT SEND CASH!

We've noticed a lot of orders with cash going missing in the post recently, so please use cheques, Giro's or Paypal if you can. If you can't then make sure it is really well disguised, if we don't recieve it, it's not our fault! Sorry!


Paypal users please add 5% to cover Paypal charges and now there is a minimum £5 value for Paypal orders, our paypal name is "jon@activedistribution.org".

We have had to start a policy of waiting for cheques to clear our bank account before we mail out stuff, this may cause a delay of up to 2 weeks! If we "know" you or you're a "regular" then we'll send stuff out as normal.
If you live outside the UK please email us first to see if some alternative payment arrangement can be made! If you're not sure how much to send in currencies other than Uk Sterling try this currency converter!

Vinyl No More !
We've sold all our remaining vinyl to Loony Tunes distribution contact them for details.
