Good questions.
What payment methods do you accept?
Our secure Shopify checkout takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Klarna shows at checkout on eligible orders.
How secure is my online order?
Payment goes through Shopify's encrypted checkout, so we never see or store your card details.
How do I change or cancel my order?
Get in touch as soon as you can on 01432 381 233 or hello@helix.direct. Every stool is built to order, so the sooner we hear from you, the easier it is to change.
When will my order arrive?
Our current lead time is 10 working days. We build your stool in Shobdon, then it's on its way.
Can I use several discount codes in one order?
One code per order unless the offer says otherwise.
Do I need to have an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest. An account just lets you see your past orders.
Can I return my stool?
Yes. You have 30 days after it arrives to ask for a return. It needs to be unused, in its original packaging, with proof of purchase. Contact us first and we'll send a return label. Custom and personalised items, sale items and gift cards can't be returned. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 10 business days.
What seat heights do you do?
Low-Rider Pro Adjust (gas lift): 470–610 mm. Hi-Rider Pro Adjust (gas lift): 700–850 mm.
Which stool is right for my bench?
Working low, at wheels, brakes, sills or engine bays? Pick a Low-Rider. Working at a bench or at standing height? Pick a Hi-Rider.
Threaded adjust or gas pro adjust?
The Adjust sets its height on a trapezoidal thread with a clamp lock, so it's simple and stays put. The Pro Adjust has gas lift height adjustment and 360° swivel, so you can change height and direction without getting up. Adjust £529.99, Pro Adjust £579.99.
What is the spiral base?
It's the base under every Helix stool: patent pending, made in-house in Herefordshire, and running on heavy-duty castors that roll over cracks and cables.
What colours can I get?
Rage Red, Bold Blue, Ninja Green and Gravity Grey, on every model. Some colours sell out, so check the product page for what's in stock now.
Can I have a custom or embroidered chair?
Yes. We can put your name, team or business on the backrest. See custom chairs.
Is there a warranty?
Every Helix stool comes with a lifetime warranty.
