Product Disclaimer
All of our fresh and dried flowers, hops and plant products are perishable; natural variance can be expected against product listings and these products will change and deteriorate over time. For this reason we are not obliged to offer refunds or replacements or if they are used or stored for any period of time.
Grievances
If you are unhappy with our products in any way, please do let us know using the forms on our Contact page. Complaints or grievances should be made within 14 days of dispatch date.
Returns Policy
We do not operate a free returns policy. We can arrange collection of your order for a fee. Please get in touch to arrange this.
Items returned unused will be refunded in full; less the actual cost of shipping these items; this applies to all orders including orders that have received ‘Free Shipping’ at checkout. Returns should be received by us within 21 days of the dispatch date.
Perishable items and items that were purchased on ‘Sale’ or discounted cannot be returned.
Damaged Goods
Damaged dried flowers are ones that have clearly been damaged in transit (box is also damaged) or the item has significant petal drop or broken stems due to bad packaging. Please notify us of damaged items immediately with photographic evidence. We will get in touch to discuss how to proceed.
We will replace items that are clearly damaged unless stock is sold out, when we will give a full refund.
Missing Goods/Packing mistakes
All orders are packed with care but mistakes can happen. When we make mistakes, we will accept total responsibility and will refund or replace the item.
Items not fit for purpose
If the item you ordered isn’t what you were expecting please return it immediately and we will refund you the cost of the item.
Our products are natural, they do vary from batch to batch, year to year, and box to box. Variation in colour, size and shape, some petal drop & a few broken stems are not considered as damaged goods.
Please notify us of any concerns immediately with photographic evidence or return the items. Every case is treated on an individual basis.
We will not send replacements if the replacement is likely to be the same as what you have received. We take customer satisfaction very seriously and will do all we can to make it right.
