Currently more and more countries are ‘opening up’, however this does not mean there are and will no more delays. Delays can always happen due to many different reasons. Therefor and with the knowledge shipping is at your own risk. As much as we wish, we don’t have any influence on shipping times.

It is not possible to choose your delivery date. All international packages (except for Belgium and The Netherlands) will be send out on Monday or Tuesday. Depending on the shipping time your package will arrive later that same week*.

If you live in The Netherlands or Belgium we will ship out your package from Monday til Thursday. If you have a preferred delivery date please mention so in the notes when making your order.

Your package will be dispatched within 5 workdays after you have made the order. If you make an order while you are away (on holiday) or just before you will leave please keep this and the shipping time in mind before your purchase. We cannot store your plants for you until you get back unfortunately. We don’t have enough space to do so.

Of course it is possible to pick up your order at our office. At the check out simply choose for the option ‘local pick up Ridderkerk’. After we have received your order we will contact you to make an appointment. 

Pick up during Covid-19
The possibility for a local pick up can be subjected to extra rules or measures while the Covid-19 pandemic is amongst us. When picking up your order we will do everything we can to secure a safe pick up. For the safety of us all please keep in mind the following measures:
– Only come for a pick up at the agreed day/time. When you can’t make it to the appointment.

We do our utmost to pack your plants as well as possible in order to prevent damage. The plants sit in a sturdy box, with stuffing material if necessary. The package boxes are also provided with a ‘ fragile ‘ sticker.

We ship our plants all year round. Only with extreme heath or cold it’s possible that we have to postpone the shipment. Many plants do not tolerate these weather conditions and that would be a shame. Of course you will get message as soon as possible if these circumstances are reached.

Please check out the weather conditions in your own country before you make a purchase. We base our shippings on the weather conditions in The Netherlands and cannot check all local weather reports around Europe. Be wise and check out your own local weather forecast.
