If you are sending as a gift and the delivery date is important then we recommend you choose "DPD Local: Courier Delivery £6.00". This tracked overnight service means your plants arrive either next day or on the day you specify and spend minimum time in transit. This weekday service costs £6 to England, Wales, and the south of Scotland and you get regular updates via DPD including a one hour delivery slot.

Need a weekend delivery? Royal Mail Tracked £6.95 is still a better choice for the remoter areas. However, please be aware that Royal Mail will not be offered as an option for larger plants, or multiple boxes and the Royal Mail Saturday service may arrive on the Friday. For larger parcels on Saturdays or for Sunday deliveries our Weekend courier service starts from £11.

Non-contact deliveries

Our tracked deliveries do not require a signature and drivers are now routinely leaving parcels on the doorstep rather than attempting to get a signature. Don't forget you can specify exactly where you would like the parcel left using the special instructions box under the delivery date.

Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland Deliveries

It is with great regret that we have had to make the decision to suspend deliveries to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Unfortunately the additional customs paperwork and requirement for phytosanitary certificates post-brexit is unfeasable for us at the moment. We are hopeful that the new Westminster agreement will allow us to reopen this service in 2023 and we are pushing hard for clarification at the moment.

In more detail

"DPD Local: Courier Delivery - £6.00" will normally be the default delivery service. Our Monday-Friday courier service covers the whole of the UK. This is a tracked service, and you are notified by email (and also text if you have entered your mobile number on the order form) when the gift is on its way, when it has a scheduled delivery slot (if available) and when your gift has arrived. DPD also offer up to the minute tracking and options to arrange redelivery or alternative delivery addresses through their app, putting you in complete control.

Royal Mail: Royal Mail Tracked Service - £6.95 is an excellent service (99% delivered on time) and does not need a signature. You will get tracked tracking details to you by email on the day your plant leaves the nursery and your parcel is tracked at every stage of the journey. You can also specify a safe place to leave your plants if you are not sure if someone will be home.

Please note, Royal Mail Services will not be offered as an option if the delivery includes a large box, as Royal Mail do not take boxes more than 62cm high but you can see the full range that can be sent royal mail here

Weekend deliveries

If you need a Saturday or Sunday delivery date you need to set the date on the calendar and then you will be offered a choice of services that deliver at the weekend.

For the lighter and smaller plants you can choose a Royal Mail service (Tracked overnight at £6.95) for a Saturday at no extra charge (see the full range of plants available on this service here). The Saturday (and Sunday) courier services for larger plants start from £11.

Sending to more remote areas?

Royal Mail services are almost always the best option and the next day Tracked service will usually show as the default service. In remote areas where the delivery time is already extended you may be offered a cheaper Royal Mail 24 option too. This service is available for just £4.50 per delivery (or £6 for multiple boxes) but to avoid delays you might want to consider sending plants to remote area on the premium tracked service. We cannot be held responsible if you choose this service and your gift doesn't arrive on the expected day.

Unfortunately due to restrictions on airfreight and ferry operators it is not possible to send our larger plants to more remote areas of the UK - sorry, you are probably best to choose a smaller plant and send by Royal Mail Tracked to these areas. You can see our selection of plants that can go on Royal Mail services here. Do ring if you need advice.
