I have just added stuff to my basket for absoluteapparel and have gone through the process of checking out and paying using card details but I stopped as the page that I have to put in my details is not secure!

As far as I am led to believe - a secure page is https ..................... meaning the data is encrypted, the page that I am just about to put my details onto is a normal http.

Has anyone used them before?

Many thanks

Adam

Not sure what anyone else has done but I ended up clicking the 'pay on account' button and then giving my payment details over the phone.

Things like this do make me pause in transit after I submitted my card details to a site that wasn't secure many years ago - the site was hacked, all card details were stolen which resulted in the upheavel of getting new cards etc (and re-registering cards with any sites I was using before).

I'm saying that this would happen on absoluteapparel - not in any way, just that I like to see the padlock and the s in https before I submit payment info.

did you mention it to them when you phoned?? If not drop them an email maybe they aren't even aware of the problem.

Certainly did - they said that it the info only goes to them ............................ (maybe so, but the info only goes to them over an 'unsecured' page).

Anyway, it's not a problem as I paid over the phone

How odd, so they are basically saying they are too tight to pay for the certificate to protect their customers data what a great business model.

LOL yes. it goes only to them but it can be hacked any time and all info will be visible to potential "interested" person

fannnntassssticcc great care about customer hope they prices justify that

I thought there was some legislation that if you process payments you have to use a secure data transfer. Worth having a look and see what you can find. Its not very good and I know even if its encrypted the data can still be got at but the difference is between giving someone the data written on a notepad or written on a notepad inside a safe lol

I have used them before, great delivery and usually pretty good, only issue i find is there black hoody's dye the printable flex

Use them all the time, no probs at all other than they are discontinuing one of my fave items. Give them a call and open an account.

Talking of paying for certificates, I have to have mine as my bank reminds me every year however i have spoke with loads of other Frestart Plc website cutomers who also bank with the HSBC and they are not SSL Certified and PSI/DSS Compliant
