How it works
Buying from a Cardiff shop online should be as easy as walking in. Here's the whole thing.
- 1
Find something
Search by what you're after, browse a shop, or check Last Call for what's cheap today. Every listing is something the shop has actually got.
- 2
Choose how to get it
Collect it from the shop for free, or pick same-day delivery if the shop delivers to your postcode. The delivery fee is shown before you pay.
- 3
Pay on the site
Your payment goes straight to the shop's own account. We take our cut from the shop's side, so the price you see is the shop's price.
- 4
Have it today
The shop packs it — usually within two hours. You'll get a message when it's ready to collect or on its way.
Honest answers
Is it more expensive than Amazon?
Sometimes, yes, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Independent shops can't match the prices of the biggest warehouse in the world on everything.
What you get instead: it's today, not in three days; you can collect it free on the way home; you can ask the person who chose it; and the money stays in Cardiff. Plenty of things — a second-hand record, a handmade mug, a refurbished bike — Amazon doesn't sell at all.
What is Last Call?
Last Call is where shops put things they need to shift today: seconds with a cosmetic flaw, the last of a line, the one that was in the window, a box that got dented, or stock they over-ordered. It's properly cheap, there are only a few of each, and it disappears when the collection window closes. The crossed-out price is always the shop's real normal price. Most Last Call items are collect-only — that's how the shops can price them so low.
Who am I actually buying from?
The shop. They're the seller, and your contract for the goods is with them. We run the website and the checkout.
How does delivery work?
Each shop chooses which parts of Cardiff it delivers to, a flat fee, and sometimes a free-delivery threshold. You'll see the exact fee for your postcode on the product page before you order. See delivery and returns.
Can I send it back?
Delivered orders come with a 14-day right to cancel, with a few legal exceptions like perishables and personalised items. Faulty goods are always covered. Last Call items are sold as described, so a flaw that was clearly listed isn't a fault.
Can I order now?
Not yet. This is a preview: the shops and prices on this version of the site are invented while we finish building. Ordering isn't switched on.
