Making a purchase could not be easier! Simply browse through our stock and click "add to basket" on any items that you wish to buy. Once you have made all your selections click on 'Check Out' and you will be asked for the details we need to be able to process your order.

The Scarborough Joke Shop reserves the right to refuse any order at our discretion. The customer will be informed by email when this occurs.

All prices on this site include the correct amount of VAT where appropriate.

Sale items %off values are based on RRP prices.

The cost of shipping is not included in the cost of the items, please check the postage page for more details.

We always do our best to keep all items in stock, but as we are not a warehouse company items can occasionally go out of stock without warning.

If items you have ordered are not available we will usually email you offering options and alternatives, so please be sure to check your emails periodically.

Please be aware that many of the products sold by The Scarborough Joke Shop come with small pieces and parts unsuitable for younger children. These pieces may constitute a choking hazard and we would ask all of our customers to take care with these products.


Making A Purchase Via Telephone
We still accept orders by phone for those who do not have Paypal accounts. Call us on 01723 379222 to submit your order.

You will need a list of the things you would like, a valid debit/credit card and your phone number so that we can get back in touch if there are any problems.

Please note, that we do not stock all items in both stores and that prices may vary from those shown online. Please check stock availability in store to avoid disappointment.
