Hattons Trunk Service
The “Hattons Trunk” service enables you to pay for & secure items and have them held at our premises. You are able to freely add further items to your “Trunk”, including pre-orders which can be set to "Add to trunk when it arrives & notify me via email".
This service is also useful for overseas customers, to combine items that arrive in stock at different times into one order and save on postage costs!

How it Works
The "Add to Trunk" button option is available both in your basket and within a product listing, providing you with two ways to add items to your trunk.
Add Multiple Items to Your trunk:
If you wish to add multiple items to your trunk, we would advise adding the items to your basket, through the “Add to Cart” button against the product listing. Once you have all the items you require in your basket, click into your basket and use the option “Add items to Trunk”.
Add a Single Item to Your Trunk:
You will see an "Add to Trunk" button to the side of the standard "Add to Cart" option on any product page. Clicking this will add the individual item to your Trunk.
From here you will need to login (if not already). You will then be asked to set your trunk preferences on the first time, such as your default card, address, and a day you would like to receive an email reminder.
These options are also available in your account and can be amended later.
Once these preferences have been set, you can then add items to your trunk. You will be asked for your CVV, the payment is taken and your order number will be shown to you.
You can check the contents of your trunk at checkout or using the new 'Your Trunk' page detailed below.
Payment will be taken when placing your trunk order, as shown below. However, postage will only be calculated and paid when you choose to have your items shipped.
