Frequently Asked Questions

Garden Centre Website

Q. Can you collect from in-store?
A. Yes we offer a FREE Click and Collect service. Make your purchase online and select the Click and Collect Service. Please await contact via email to confirm that your order is ready at our in-store customer collection point for you to collect. When collecting your item you will need to bring your Order Confirmation with you to the customer collection point. This service is available 9.00-5.00 Monday to Saturday and 10.00 – 4.00 Sunday.
Garden furniture may take up to one week to be available, please check for estimated time pre-purchase on the website product purchase page. We will be in touch post purchase to update you on the likely time frame your order will be ready to collect.

Q. How quickly can you deliver?
A. Delivery times depend on the product you are purchasing, a shipping time estimate will be given on the website product page, and also depends upon which option you choose for delivery.

Q. How Quick is Next Day Delivery? (also known as Next Working Day delivery)
A. If you select Next Day Delivery, any orders we receive by 3.00pm will be delivered on the next working day. This means that if you place an order at the weekend it will be delivered on Tuesday. (Bank Holidays will also affect delivery). Sometimes circumstances beyond our control may delay delivery. In the event of a late delivery we will of course refund any additional charge you have paid for Next Day Delivery. If a delivery attempt has been made on time then the additional Next Day delivery charges cannot be refunded if you decide to return the goods. A late delivery does not of itself entitle you to cancel your order.

Q. What if I order more than one item?
A. Please check on the website product page for estimated times of delivery for each item you require. If Next Day Delivery is not available for each product we may not be able to deliver everything on time. To make sure you receive your Next Day Delivery on time, we would advise you to place separate orders.

Q. Can I have a delivery on a Saturday?
A. Delivery can be arranged at extra cost, please contact us first.

Q. How do I notify you of difficult access for delivery vehicles?
A. If you live where the access is difficult for large vehicles, then please contact us directly to discuss, please do not just leave a note in the delivery instructions. Otherwise we will automatically assume that you authorise your order to be left at the carrier's discretion at a nearby location.

Q. How do I track my order?
A. Each delivery is given a tracking number, which is given in your confirmation email, so you can track your order via our Order Tracker on our website.

Q. Do I have to sign for the delivery?
A. We used a tracking system for all deliveries, normally the delivery will not require a signature, (unless you have contacted us to arrange a specific day delivery which in some cases a signature will be required). However if there are any damages or missing goods then we must be notified within 24 hours of the delivery.

Q. What if I refuse to accept my delivery from the carrier?
A. If you have cause to refuse your delivery from the carrier because you believe the goods maybe damaged, then you must contact us urgently so that we can advise you how to proceed. If you have just changed your mind then you will be responsible for the costs of returning the goods, unless you have been given a cancellation number.

Q. What if something is missing, how do I notify you?
A. Please check that all the items listed on the packing note of the delivery have been delivered. Please notify us by phone or email within 24 hours of the delivery if something hasn't arrived which is on the packing note.

Q. What do I do if my goods are faulty/damaged when unpacked?

If your order does not arrive when expected then you should contact us without delay within 24 hours, so that we can do our best to resolve any issues. Please note that we are not liable to provide any compensation for late or failed deliveries.

Q. I need to cancel my order before it is despatched, how should I do this?
A. We will give you a cancellation number if you cancel your order before despatch. Keep a note of this number as it is proof that you have cancelled your order in time to stop it being despatched. If you do not have a cancellation number and subsequently refuse to accept the your order that has been correctly supplied by us from our carrier then the cost of returning the order will be deducted from any refund given.

Q. Do you make deliveries to BFPO addresses?(British Forces Post Office)
A. We have a limited capability to deliver to BFPO addresses. We can only deliver products that can be sent via Royal Mail SAME DAY DESPATCH First Class Post. We cannot send any other products to BFPO addresses. If you wish we can deliver to any other mainland UK address.
