  • We like to use the same courier every time so that we can ensure the quality of service.
  • We prefer to hand you the package so that it does not become cramped or crushed in a box.
  • When sending to a P.O. Box, our shipping partner requires a signature from the recipient, which we cannot obtain.

If you try to ship an order to a P.O. Box, your order will be ‘cancelled’ and you’ll receive an email from us letting you know. In this instance, please contact us to provide a residential address, and we will send it out right away!

Separate shipping charges will be arranged directly through the manufacturer. Delivery to mainland UK starts from £85.00. The customer will be notified of the delivery date once the item(s) are ready to be dispatched. All items will require a signature so rearranging the delivery date is possible to do at this stage.

You have the right to cancel your order at any time before your order has begun to be processed.

Delivery Instructions

  • All large pots will be delivered on a pallet
  • Deliveries are made any time between 9 and 5 p.m. If the pallet company, or its agent, cannot gain access to the delivery address, then additional costs may be incurred. Deliveries are made using large vehicles, and the customer must inform us if there may be an access problem. Delivery vehicles use tail lift offloading, and it must be emphasised that the delivery vehicle must be able to park in an area where the delivery is to be made. A pallet trolley is then used to manoeuvre the pot off the tail lift, and this cannot be done on gravel, uneven or soft surfaces. The delivery driver is not insured to unpack or place items in situ.
  • The customer, or somebody appointed by the customer, should be at the delivery point to accept the delivery
  • If unable to unpack on delivery, please write “unchecked” against your signature; otherwise, a damage claim will not be considered.
  • All claims must be made within 48 hours of receipt of the goods.
