Once your order is entered on to our system, your plants will be reserved for you and sent out in peak condition on your requested delivery date.

How will my order be delivered?

Most smaller orders under 2KG in weight will be sent via Royal Mail first class post and will be delivered by your postman. We will email you when we dispatch your plants to let you know that they are on the way. If you are not in to accept delivery and if the item is too big for your letterbox or if there is no where safe to leave it, your postman will usually leave a card with instructions on how to collect the item from your local depot or to arrange redelivery. Most common redelivery questions are answered here.

Larger orders over 2KG in weight will usually be sent via Parcelforce. This is a fully trackable service. We will email you to let you know that your order is on the way and to provide you with your tracking details. Parcelforce redelivery questions are answered here.

How will my plants will be packed?

All our plug plants are shipped in specially designed ‘blister packs’ to keep the root system in place and the foliage protected in transit. Take a look at the picture to see an example of some of our plants in their packaging ready to ship.

The blister packs are placed into protective jiffy bubble envelopes or strong cardboard boxed and then dispatched within hours to hopefully arrive the next day.

We dispatch plants on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We avoid dispatching plants on Fridays to avoid plants being held up in the postal system over the weekend.

How are you able to offer such specific delivery times of your plants?

It’s all in the timing! Plug Plant production has evolved over the years with thorough trialling, testing and data recording into a precise science. By sowing tried and tested varieties at exactly the right time in optimum conditions we are able to offer our plants for delivery in peak condition for a specific delivery window.

Can I cancel my order?

You can cancel your order and receive a full refund at any time up until 7 days before your first requested delivery date.

What happens if I am not satisfied with my order when I receive it?

All of our plants are inspected by our horticultural experts and are selected by hand at exactly the right time to be carefully packaged so that they arrive in perfect condition at their destination. Every single plant is checked before it goes out to ensure it meets our quality control standards. However, if you have reasonable cause for dissatisfaction with any of our plants, simply notify us within 14 days of receipt and we will offer a replacement or refund. To aid our quality control standards customers may be requested to return a sample of unsatisfactory plants to enable further examinations to take place.
