Trolley & Box Delivery

1. Why do some items require orders to exceed £650?

Certain products, such as cacti, carnivorous plants, flowering plants, and succulents and glass products have specific transport restrictions that prevent them from being dispatched via DPD. These items can only be delivered on trolleys and pallets for safety reasons. To efficiently fill a trolley with these items, a minimum order value of £650 is required.

2. What is the Trolley/Box Toggle for?


The Trolley/Box Toggle allows you to choose between two delivery options:
• Box Delivery: Opt for next-day delivery with no minimum order value. Note that some items, such as cacti or carnivorous plants, are not eligible for box delivery.
• Trolley Delivery: Ideal for ordering all types of plants at lower prices. This option requires a minimum order value of £650 and lets you select a delivery week, though not a specific date.

3. How do I change between Box or Trolley pricing?

Simply slide the toggle to choose between express box delivery with no minimum order value or cost-effective trolley delivery for larger orders.
