Refunds and Returns

The following policies and our decision to offer a refund or exchange are made under the guidance of the consumer rights act and/or distance selling regulations of the UK. If you have any questions please contact fiona@plantsetc.co.uk.

For purchases of plants and other perishable items you have a right to cancel your order prior to dispatch only. We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of up to 50% of the value for custom special orders and other plants we do not hold in stock. These plants are specifically sourced on your behalf and the cancellation fee applied will depend on the costs incurred and future maintenance costs. Thereafter, the following refund and exchange policy exists:

Plants

We take care to provide a fair representation of the plant you will receive on our website, but we accept no responsibility for any reasonable variation of the plants we sell. It is inevitable that variations in size, shape and colour will occur between different specimens and whilst we make every effort to ensure that all plants supplied are at the size range indicated, occasionally plants may be slightly under or over the size selected.

Please note: Plant heights quoted include the plant stem and length of the foliage plus the depth of the grow pot, i.e. including the root system, not just the plant above soil level.

We take care to provide plants in excellent health, however it is your responsibility to care for your plants appropriately and we accept no responsibility for your failure to do so. If you believe we have provided you with a plant that is unhealthy upon receipt, please contact us within 48 hours at fiona@plantsetc.co.uk, preferably with photos, to discuss your refund or exchange options. Please note: the legal right to cancel orders after delivery because you have changed your mind does not apply to perishable goods such as plants.

We take care to deliver our plants carefully and expect them to arrive in excellent condition; unfortunately, some minor damage may be inevitabe. If your plant arrives damaged, please contact us within 48 hours by email preferably with photos, so that we can establish the extent of the damage and the risk the damage presents to your plant, and to discuss your refund or exchange options.
