Terms and Conditions
 

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. All users of this site agree that access to and use of this site are subject to the following terms and conditions and other applicable law. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not use this site.  All the plants that we grow and supply are, unless stated otherwise, supplied as pot ready jumbo plugs.


Terms of Business / Delivery Advice
We can send our rooted cuttings/plug plants to any address within the United Kingdom, see postal charges for costs. All orders must be paid for in full at the time of the order being placed by cheque, postal order or credit/debit card. We do not acknowledge orders unless a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed or an email address is provided. If there is a difference in the money between your order and the actual cost this will be noted on your delivery note and any credit will be added to your account to use towards your next order with us. We are unable to add any extra plants to existing orders - any additional plants must be treated as a new order and the relevant P&P charges apply. If you require some plants to go to a different address then this too must be treated as a separate order. If you require delivery to be split into two different times of the year this must be treated as two orders.

 

If a variety is out of stock we may substitute with the nearest alternative rather than hold up your order, unless you state otherwise during checkout. If you state that substitutes are not acceptable, we assume that you are prepared to wait until all are ready - if they are likely to cause a long delay, we will credit/refund you for any that are not available.

 

Deliveries are sent at detailed in our Delivery & Terms section.  During delivery season (March to November) orders are normally sent within 28 days and in practice usually quicker than this, but please be aware that February to May are our busiest months and orders received during these months may take longer as we work on a strict rotation of first come, first served, for up-to-date delivery information check out our 'Delivery Times' page for guidance on delivery schedules.

 

If you wish to cancel an order for whatever reason we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of 10% of the order value. We do not post plants out during November to January and July to September, due to the hot/cold weather, unless specifically asked to do so and will be subject to plant availability. Orders received during these times will be held for when we start posting again or when suitable for the plants ordered.  We reserve the right to amend prices due to circumstances beyond our control. The placing of an order constitutes acceptance of these Terms of Business. All orders are supplied with a FREE copy of our 16 page booklet “Growing the Allwoods way”.

Plant Guarantee

We fully understand that we are sending living plants so there is always the possibility that something may go wrong along the way! Most nurseries say that once they have delivered the plants to you they are your responsibility, but we offer a full 30 Day Guarantee.  If, at any time during the first 30 days, you are unhappy for any reason then simply return the items back to us, ideally use the original 
packaging.  If you are unable to use the original packaging then a stout box or padded envelope may work.

If the item is not faulty or damaged it must be returned as supplied, labelled and in good condition and in its original packaging, we reserve the right to withhold a percentage of the refund value & will not refund the postage costs.  On receipt of the returned items we will replace them or refund your money. 
 

If you phone or email to tell us about a plant you are unhappy with, we will ask you to return it.  If you do not return the plants to us that you are unhappy with, then we cannot replace or refund them.
​

We can only keep our standards high by investigating the cause of problems. We feel 30 days is a very fair guarantee period, as once the items have left us we have no control over their care, so please do not return plants after that length of time or expect us to refund or replace them.  

​

If for any reason you are unable to return problem plants to us, we will not be able to replace them however we will record the information to monitor any problems a particular variety may have and to ensure our service remains outstanding.
​
Regretfully Allwoods (Hassocks) Ltd does not pay the cost of returning an item to us. Your statutory rights are not affected.

​
