This Delivery & Returns Policy, as laid out, is valid to the Online Shop only.

We deliver to Mainland UK, including the Scottish Islands and Highlands.

We offer free delivery for any order to the UK mainland that is over £50 in value and under 30kgs in weight. There are however additional shipping costs for deliveries to Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and Islands, and other remote areas of the UK. You will be presented with an accurate shipping fee, based on your delivery postcode, when adding items to the online shopping cart.

Additional shipping costs for large heavy items that require specialist courier services may also apply. Delivery times will be slightly longer for heavy items requiring specialist courier services.

For any locations outside Mainland UK, including international shipping, please contact us at [email protected] for a cost estimate.

Shipping Fees and Delivery Times

We aim to deliver all Mainland UK orders within 3 – 5 working days of receiving your order.
As soon as the order has been processed all orders that are under 30kgs in weight are dispatched on a next day service with APC couriers.

Free delivery to a UK mainland address where the total value of the order exceeds £50 and the weight of the order is 30kgs or less.

For UK mainland orders under £50 in value and under 2kg in weight  a standard shipping fee of £6.25 will apply.

For UK mainland orders under £50 in value and over 2kg in weight  a standard shipping fee of £9.95 will apply.

Click & Collect Orders – No processing charges

Heavy Goods & Machinery Deliveries

Heavy goods over 30kgs, or bulky items such as lawn mowers which we deem to be particularly susceptive to damage in transit will be dispatched on a 2 day pallet service.
This service is only available for UK Mainland addresses and there will be a £45 standard charge for these types of delivery. For deliveries of these items within the East Anglia region (postcodes PE, NR, CB, IP, CO and CM) we will deliver using our own vans and there will be no delivery charge applied at the point of ordering.

All items classed as heavy goods, such as ride on mowers, Quad Bikes and Trailers will include personal delivery free of charge to any postcode within the East Anglia region  PE, NR, CB, IP, CO and CM. Please contact us for any requirements outside of these delivery areas and we will quote you for the delivery cost and expected time of delivery.

When delivering these items to you, contractual agreements with our garden machinery suppliers mean that we must demonstrate the product to you in person and we must explain safety considerations to you. We must show you how to start and operate the machine and we must start the machine up for you and demonstrate that it runs.

Any other items purchased with these heavy goods can be delivered in addition and delivered at no extra cost.

For any questions regarding your heavy goods order, please contact [email protected].

 

Timescales

The majority of orders will be shipped within 3 working days from the time of order. Heavy machinery delivery times may vary, you will receive an email from our team to arrange a convenient delivery date within 2 working days of placing your order.

Where click and collect is selected, we will notify you as soon as the product is available for collection as we may need to draw stock from a different branch – again please allow up to 5 days for purchases to become available for collection.

We ship Monday to Friday with orders placed after 2pm on a Friday being dispatched on the next Monday (excluding Bank Holidays).

We will always aim to deliver products as near to our estimated times as possible. Should we be unable to deliver items within 30 days of your order, we will inform you and give you the option to cancel your order for full reimbursement.

Receipt and signature
