How ordering works

Last updated: 19 July 2026

Our online shop sells IT hardware, supplies, and selected digital software licences backed by the same local support you get from our services team. This page explains what happens when you place an order.

1. Browse and basket

Choose products from the shop catalogue. Prices shown are the amount you pay. For hardware, live stock is checked again when you start checkout so we do not sell items that Target Components no longer has available. Digital licences (for example Bitdefender) do not use Target stock checks.

2. Delivery

For hardware, select a delivery option in your cart before payment. Options and charges are shown clearly (for example next working day, timed delivery, weekend). Orders placed after our 2:00 pm cut-off (Monday–Friday) are normally processed on the next working day.

Digital licence-only orders use email delivery at no charge — there is no courier parcel.

3. Secure payment

Checkout is handled by Stripe. You enter payment (and a delivery address for hardware) on Stripe’s secure payment page. We do not store your full card details on our systems.

4. Confirmation

After successful payment you will see an order confirmation page and, where we have a valid email address from Stripe, a confirmation email. We also receive a staff alert so we can fulfil the order.

For digital licences, that first email confirms your order and explains that your activation code and download links will follow shortly in a separate message once we have processed the licence.

5. Fulfilment

Hardware orders are fulfilled manually through our Target Components account. We arrange dispatch and delivery according to the option you chose, and contact you if anything needs clarifying (for example stock shortfalls after checkout, or delivery access).

Digital software licences (including Bitdefender) are fulfilled via our partner reseller portal. After payment we obtain your licence and email you the activation code and download links — usually the same working day during business hours.

6. Local customers

If you are local to Stokesley / North Yorkshire and need help with setup (for example transferring documents, printers, or Wi‑Fi mesh), contact us — we can discuss on-site options. A checkout add-on for this may be offered in a later release.
