Carriage & Delivery

Carriage 

A carriage charge of £5.95 is added to all orders values at £200 (excluding VAT) or less. This differs from seed-only deliveries, which will be charged at £2.49 per order. For orders of £200 or over, goods are offered carriage paid. Please note these carriage terms apply per order. 

Additions or additional orders cannot be added to qualify for free carriage or any surcharge after the original has been accepted. By placing orders buyers are considered to agree with these terms. 

The delivery charge is a charge in relation to the packaging and carriage of goods. VAT is charged on this delivery charge as it is considered a taxable supply/service. 

Delivery 

We deliver our goods within the U.K only. We regret that we cannot despatch to the Channel Isles or North and Southern Ireland due to high transport costs. 

Deliveries are sent from our warehouses both in Manchester and Anwick, Lincolnshire.  
Most of our orders are despatched with Yodel, but on occasion can be sent with a pallet service if it is a larger order. 
Minimum Order Value 

We don’t require a minimum size order; however, we would appreciate our customers keeping within the spirit of wholesale. Our prices reflect the larger quantities and bulk handling, so smaller orders are costly to process. For this reason, orders under £50 (excluding VAT or carriage) are subject to an additional £4 small order supplement. 

Additions to your order or additional orders after cannot be added to offset the Minimum Order Value after the original has been accepted. By placing orders, buyers are considered to agree with these terms.
