PAYMENT



 

All you need to know about using our online catalogue:

The Minimum Order is £8

All seed requests are subject to our Terms and Conditions

Paying by Card:
Your card will be processed by Protx.

This is a well-known, secure online card processor,
approved by our bank (The Cooperative Bank).

It is safe because we don't ever get sent or see your card details,
just a credit to our account with a list of what seeds you want.

 

   

Paying by PayPal:
If you have a PayPal Account, you can pay that way if you prefer.

PayPal is also secure as no-one ever sees your details.

(note: you can also use PayPal to process your credit card
if for some reason Protx is unavailable.)

 


P&P charges for UK orders:

The Post Office have greatly increased their rates for small packets.
Taking credit cards is also expensive - the fees we pay are often more than the stamps.

We are trying to find the fairest way to cover all this without overcharging you.

Orders up to £18: Handling, Postage & Packing is £1.35

Orders over £18: Handling, Postage & Packing is £2.20

We hope you think these are fair and reasonable!


Foreign Orders - to Europe ONLY

You have to realise that we don't really like posting abroad.
It is a pain taking the packets to the post office in town two miles away
(they can't go in with our normal post)
and there always sems to be some problem with delivery or payment.
But if you really must have some seeds, here is the deal:

Firstly, you just have to be patient:
The Post Office say it will take up to 4 weeks to arrive, even just to France.

European Postage Rates:

We have had so many problems with orders to Europe being lost/stolen
that we are now only offering Insured Registered Post at £7.50

We know this is very expensive, and unfair for small orders.
But it got too complicated trying to have all sorts of different price bands in Europe.
It is also partly to cover our extra time taking them by hand to be registered.

No seeds sent to USA or Other Countries outside Europe!
We're really sorry but we've had so much trouble shipping outside Europe we no longer do this.
You could get a friend inside Europe to take the seeds to you though.
By the way, for all the confused Americans who keep trying to order seeds, you are not in Europe. :-)


Delivery times:
We send out orders on Tuesdays and Thursdays, when Catherine is here to do the packing.
We know you need your seeds ASAP!
We do aim to get your seeds to you within 7 days.
If an item is out of stock, we will contact you straight away to arrange an alternative or a refund.
