Costs and couriers:
The cost of delivery is determined by the weight and dimensions of your order, as well as the location of the delivery address. Our plants, due to their size, are typically dispatched via pallet deliveries. This method can take 2-4 working days, or you can opt for our next-day pallet delivery service for an additional fee.
For areas within the East Midlands, a full pallet delivery cost will start from £40, while for areas such as London, the costs will be around £60-80; for areas in Scotland, the delivery cost can be up to £200 per pallet. A dedicated van can be arranged for specific items bigger than pallet size, please contact us for a quote.
We make every effort to deliver the goods as soon as possible after receiving your order. Out-of-stock items will go on backorder, and we will let you know when they become available and confirm a delivery date with you.
