Our Products

Our philosophy is to provide a simple, one-stop shop for all your Masonic requirements. We are committed to providing the greatest selection of Masonic products available and to make your online shopping experience as easy, enjoyable and secure as possible.

In the five years we have been in business we have become the worlds leading Masonic retailer on the internet and mail order, providing thousands of customers all over the world with hand embroidered regalia, manufacturerd to the highest standard, and an unrivalled range of books and rituals for the wide range of degrees and orders. We also supply Masonic jewellery, cases, furnishings and accessories.

Occasionally we may supply a product which may appear slightly different to the image on our website, but can assure all of our customers that such practice occurs only if the substitution is with a product of at least equal specification and/or quality.

 
How To Order

Firstly, select the correct currency to which you are accustomed to. (Use the flag icons directly under the Shopping Basket on the left of the page).

To make a purchase, browse through our shopping pages, and click "add" for any items that you wish to buy and put them into the shopping basket. You can always discard any products later if you do not wish to purchase the item/s.

After you have finished your shopping session and are happy with the items in your basket, click on "Checkout", found in the Shopping Basket, and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to satisfy the order. These include the delivery address and payment preferences etc.

Complete the checkout procedure by following the instructions and by clicking "next" when appropriate. You will enter your payment details, which will be securely processed by Worldpay, our payment processing partners.

We accept credit card payments in British Pounds, US Dollar and the Euro currencies. We accept Visa, MasterCard, JCB and some debit cards if issued in the UK.

Once you have made your purchase we will confirm the details by email immediately, with an order reference number. You will also receive a receipt from Worldpay for the payment element of your order. Your account has now been created, making future purchases easy.

Customers may make purchases by cheque drawn in Sterling (GBP) on a UK bank, payable to www.thefreemason.com. Otherwise an International Money Order (IMO) should be sent for all other international customers with payment drawn in Sterling (GBP).

Account holders may choose to order 'on account'. You will be invoiced later for the items you have ordered.
