Post & Packaging, Returns and T&Cs
All of our plants are attentively cared for, safely packaged ensuring a snug box fit and well watered to ensure arrival in tip top condition. Plants are packaged in separate boxes with a jute bag/bubble wrap to finish and anchored and locked into a secure position in the box for transit. If more than one plant is ordered individual boxes are secured together. Three plants is the maximum per Royal mail package and if more than three are ordered this will be a second package. Plants are then dispatched Royal Mail 1st Class Signed for the UK or Parcel Force for The Channel Islands & the Isle of Man. This generally is about 1-3 working days for mainland UK delivery and 3-5 days for The Channel Islands & the Isle of Man.
Shipping to the EU is a flat rate of £22.50 using UPS Express delivery taking around 3-5 days and these orders are sent out once a week only from a UPS collection point to the address directly.
Please see some examples below of our packaging for your peace of mind. Please see the testimonials for great positive feedback on our post and packaging.
Return Policy
Exotic Earth Plants guarantees only to send you top quality plants. We inspect everything carefully before it leaves and we also take great care wiith packaging to ensure that your order arrives in perfect condition.
However, if you do have a problem, here is what to do:
DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE GOODS:
If you receive a plant that is in poor condition when you take it out of the box, please contact us immediately.
We may ask you to send us a photograph so that there is no doubt as to its condition on arrival with you and to help us determine the cause of the problem.
Plants cannot be returned purely on the basis that the flower colour or other characteristics do not exactly match a particular illustration and description. There are always slight variations in size, shape and colour between different specimens and illustrations and descriptions are approximate and for guidance only.
When we have agreed that there is a problem you can return your plant within 7 days and either have a replacement or a refund.
Please make sure you enclose your order number and return the item in its original packaging.
Plants are ‘Perishable Goods’ and your rights as a Consumer do not fully apply, hence the 7 day period for return of plants should be honoured.
