Errors appear when I tried to confirm my order at the checkout.
If you can't check out, you may see one of the following error messages.

Sorry, the card number you have entered is invalid. If you see this message, make sure you're using a valid card type and entering the card number correctly, without spaces. Remember, Ades doesn't accept American Express.
The security code entered is invalid.
We ask for the security number from your payment card to prevent your account from being used fraudulently. On most cards, the security code is the last 3 digits printed on the signature strip.
The expiry date entered is invalid.
If your card expires at the end of the current month it may not verify on the site. This is because it may expire before we take payment and we won't be able to verify your new card, as it won't be activated until your current card expires
The issue number you supplied is invalid.
We only need issue numbers for Maestro cards. If your card is Visa or Mastercard please don't enter an issue number - just leave the box blank.
There has been a problem confirming your order
Please try and process your order again. If this doesn't work, please refer to your browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Safari) support to delete your browsing history and clear any temporary internet files and cookies, in case these are causing the issue.
Your card has not been authorised
There has been a problem authorising your card. We would advise you to contact your issuing bank to resolve this. If your card issuer can't help, please refer to your browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Safari) support. Delete your browsing history and clear any temporary internet files and cookies, in case these are causing the issue.
From time to time we experience temporary problems with the website.
We're not perfect. But when there's an issue, we're working hard to fix it fast, so come back very soon.

I am having problems with the speed of the website.
A number of factors can affect your browsing experience. If you're dissatisfied with the website speed, we recommend taking one or more of these steps:
Update to the latest version of your web browser.
If you're still not happy with the speed, try a newer browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
Perform an online bandwidth test. This will check the speed of your broadband package and will find out if you're just having intermittent problems or if you're not getting maximum speed from your Internet Service Provider.
