Delivery to England, Wales & Southern Scotland

Order before 3:30pm for FREE next working day delivery OR choose your delivery date at the checkout

Please note, our packaging does have our logo with ‘Fragile this way up’ on all four sides and we do not have any plain packaging. This is not to spoil the surprise, but we have found in trials that if the couriers appreciate what is in the box, they take considerably more care. Our main aim is for the bonsai order to arrive as perfectly as it was dispatched.
However, we would happily deliver to a neighbour, friend, or family member if this is easier.

Deliveries Abroad – We regret that due to Brexit, we are no longer able to deliver to countries outside of the UK. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Additionally, we ship all of our accessories (under 2KG) with Royal Mail. Royal Mail have been struggling over recent months. Dispatch will be immediate and we thank you for your patience at this difficult time.

Delivery information

Firstly, we are committed to growing and selling bonsai to the highest standards. Ensuring that our bonsai and accessories arrive at your home/work (or gift address) in the same condition as they leave our nursery is of up most importance. All of our bonsai leave our nursery in excellent condition and we work closely with our couriers to ensure that they are received as perfectly as they were dispatched.

In addition to next working day , it is possible for you to specify a delivery date and we will endeavour to meet this date.

You will be notified as to the 1 hour delivery time slot by e-mail/text. If you are not going in you may reply ie. Please leave safe or with a neighbour. You may also change the delivery date by replying to the options if not suitable.

We will deliver to the address as you enter it and can not accept any liability for late or failed delivery if the quoted address is incorrect. Additional charges will be made for redirection or for re-delivery due to postcode error. If you are not sure of the address you should check it using the Post Office postcode and address finding service. We are unable to accept orders for shipping to any address containing a PO Box Number.

In the event that you select a business address we shall be deemed to have delivered to its intended recipient by delivering it to the reception area of the business address and receiving from a duly authorised representative a signed receipt of delivery.

We regret we cannot guarantee delivery dates but 99.9% of deliveries are made on the date requested.

What if i am not in?

If there is nobody in to accept the order, a card will be left to inform the recipient how he or she can collect the parcel or arrange re-delivery. It then becomes the recipients’ responsibility to contact the courier and arrange a suitable date. We accept no liability if the delivery is not made due to the recipient not being available. If the recipient fails to contact the courier in good time the goods will be returned to us and a charge will be made for re-delivery to that or an alternative address and any charges which we incur. 

Instructions can be left when placing your order. It is possible for you to provide us with instructions as to where to leave your delivery if there is no one in to accept it. E.g. In the shed or with a neighbour.
