Terms and conditions
6. Shipping and Customs Duty
6.1 All orders received by us are shipped subject to availability and we do our best to ship orders as quickly as we can.However please be aware that between April and September we can get delays due to the volume of orders we receive in a short space of time.
If your order has not arrived in a timely
manner please e-mail us (allowing up to 5 days for a reply) to enquire
where your order is and we will do our best to speed things up for you.
6.2 We reserve the right to ship products at a later date (up to
28 days after purchase) where the product ordered is not in stock at the
time of purchase. Important see amendment 6.2a Below
6.2a However the 28 days only applies in order for us to be in line with the distance selling regulations. As plants are described as perishable goods and many factors can affect the growing of plants this becomes a very grey area where the legal requirements under the regulations are concerned and as such it is not known if plants are even covered under the regulations we cannot guarantee your order will be delivered within the 28 day deadline either because of factors affecting the growing of the plants causing delays or the fact we are extremely busy and it may not be possible in peak season to deliver within this time frame. And we have taken advice from Trading Standards on this.
6.3 We cannot be held responsible for disruption to shipping caused by industrial disputes or action outside our direct control. If such disruption occurs you will be offered delivery via an alternative delivery or fulfilment company or a full refund.
6.4 If you are ordering a product from outside the UK the
recipient of the product is responsible for all customs duties or
tariffs incurred in the country to which the products are shipped.
Furthermore your order may be subject to delay or be opened and searched
by local customs authorities when entering the destination country.
Please note we are unable to provide specific advice on customs duties
or tariffs.Please note we do not ship outside of Europe.

Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations
2000 you have a right to cancel your purchase. However, to exercise this
right you must notify us in writing, (email or letter) within 7 working
days from the day of Purchase. Orders cancelled after 7 days will only
be done so at our discretion and only in exceptional circumstances.

we have not delivered your plants within 28 days we reserve the right
to re-negotiate your contract either by cancelling and offering a full
refund. Offering you more suitable plants for the season or by changing
the date of your delivery.
7.2 As stated above notification of cancellation must be in writing, a telephone call is not a valid cancellation.
7.3 No right of cancellation, refund or return exists under the
Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 once you have
used your product, unless the product is defective
7.4 As Vegetable plants are perishable we do not accept returns of the goods as twice in the post renders them useless .If the plants are not suitable or are damaged then we will either offer replacements or refunds.
