Delivery Details

  • Delivery will be via Royal Mail, sent first class post or, in the case of furniture, by a courier service.
  • Flowers, pot plants and other gifts are posted Monday to Friday. Deliveries work on a two day minimum postal service. All items are posted 2 days prior to the customer's requested delivery date. As with all First Class post, the delivery date is NOT GUARANTEED. Royal Mail usually provide us with an excellent and predictable service, however delays and sometimes even next day deliveries can occur! If your requested delivery date is the 14th Feb, we recommend that you order by 10am on 12th Feb.
  • Live plant orders are dispatched between Monday and Wednesday every week to ensure that your plants arrive before the weekend and in tip top condition. We vary which of these days we dispatch on as we must carefully manage the strain placed upon the nursery staff as they are a delicate lot!  If you would like to get same week delivery then please call the office on 01534 857160 and we will tell you when we plan to dispatch.
  • Availability windows for plants vary.  These windows have been calculated as the optimum timeframe for the receipt of these products.  Please note that it is possible to purchase plants that will not be dispatched for many months so please check the availability windows carefully! 
  • Blooming Direct cannot dispatch to PO Box numbers. Please provide a valid address and post code to ensure the Royal Mail gets its end of the job done.
  • Multiple orders may not all be dispatched at the same time. Each order line will be packed and dispatched individually.
  • Our plants are carefully packed in a blister pack and then placed in a strong cardboard box for posting to you.
  • Our potted house plants are clamped safely into a strong cardboard frame which we then slide into a strong outer box.  We are very proud of our pot plant packaging and guarantee your plants will arrive in perfect condition!
