Deliveries

 

We deliver to United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.

Post Brexit: We will not be delivering to the Republic of Ireland. Unfortunately the export requirements for seed and agrichemicals is too onerous.

 

When will my order arrive?

We normally dispatch within 1-2 working days of your placing an order e.g. if you place an order on Monday it will normally go out on Tuesday. In spring (March to May) and autumn (September to October) this may extend to 3 working days between placing an order and it being dispatched.

Once dispatched delivery is next day for most parts of the UK (see charges and destinations bottom of the page).

• Delivery is Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm excluding Bank Holidays.
• Delivery Charges are per delivery NOT per item.

 

Delivery Address

It is your responsibility to ensure this is correct. Any re-directions of delivery due to errors will be charged. 

If goods are delivered to an incorrect address, and we are notified within 72 hours we will assist in having them retrieved but ultimately the responsibility lies with the purchaser to collect their order.

 

Using your PayPal account address

The agreement between you and PayPal and ourselves and PayPal requires deliveries to be sent to the address you have registered in PayPal. This will overwrite any other address stored in your account. Therefore, if you need deliveries to go to any address other than those used in PayPal you will need to pay by card. If a delivery needs to be redirected because the address stored in PayPal is incorrect you may have another delivery charge.

Leave Safe

Deliveries need to be signed for though our carrier is authorised to leave goods with a close neighbour if you are out. If you want to take responsibility for your delivery being left safely at your address or with a named close neighbour or prevent goods being left with a neighbour then you can pass these instructions to the carrier when you receive delivery emails or via their app. This does not apply to Royal Mail.

Warning: If you pass leave safe or delivery instructions to the carrier then you become responsible for the delivery and collection of your order from the time you advise our carrier to make such a delivery.

 

Drop Shops and Collection Points

We cannot accept responsibility for goods that are delivered to 'drop shops' or collection points. If you arrange for your order to be sent to one then you become responsible for the delivery and collection of your order from the time you advise our carrier to make such a delivery.

 

Failed Deliveries

If a delivery fails due to an incorrect address or none collection from a drop shop or delivery point AND the goods are sent back to us by the carrier then you will be refunded your order value in full less the delivery return costs. This also applies when cancelling your order due to being notified of additional carriage charges owing to an incorrect address being given at the time of ordering. Standard courier return charge is £10.

 

Our Courier Service

Once we dispatch your goods and on the day of delivery you will receive delivery information by text if you have given your mobile number and/or an email notification if you have given your email address.
