What is the catch?

Each retailer has different rates and terms for the commission but generally Dalesdown can earn from 2% to 12% of the cost of your order – Excluding VAT and delivery charges.

Are they building a shopping centre at Dalesdown? ;>)

No, definitely not! This website is the ‘Dalesdown Shopping Centre’ which is a great place to help Dalesdown by starting your on-line shopping from here. Dalesdown has started a real building project and full details can be seen on the main Dalesdown Website: http://www.dalesdown.org.uk

Why don’t some of the picture banners display for some retailers?

You might have a security program running on your PC that is blocking adverts so just turn off the ad blocking until you have finished shopping. We are adding text links to the retailer’s websites soon to overcome this issue.

What about my ‘cookies’?

Technical computer answer – A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are used to inform the retailer’s web sites that you are a referral from the ‘HelpDalesdown.co.uk’ web site and this is necessary for commissions to be correctly credited to Dalesdown. Most windows computers have cookies enabled so they will work fine with this website and the retailer’s websites. Mac users may need to enable cookies for this website and for the retailer’s websites.
