Products and Orders

The descriptions and images of products on our Site are a representation only and are not to be taken literally or compared with. Variations may occur from time to time due to seasonal changes – for example, plants not in flower as shown, height or size of plants, colours of plants (unless specified), plants losing leaves in winter or simply growing much slower. As we are dealing with live products, there are many factors involved with survival and performance respectively.

Whilst we try to make every effort to ensure that all our products are aligned with the product images and descriptions on our Site, certain products are subject to seasonal availability. In the event that they are unavailable, we will substitute with a similar product or variety of equal or higher value. Should this occur we may notify you prior to the order being dispatched.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel or not process any order placed on our Site if the price or other description information was an error. Should this occur we will notify you by email.

We can offer no Warranty or Guarantee including but not limited to the growth performance and sustainability of any product as we are dealing with live products.

Plant care, advice and tips on our Site are to be taken only as a guide.

We deliver to selected Sydney suburbs and use express delivery courier service to outer Sydney, metro areas in NSW, ACT, VIC, QLD and SA. 

Standard Delivery (selected Sydney suburbs only): next business day. Orders must be placed before 5 pm and selected “Yes, this a gift” to ensure next business day delivery. Please note, that Zone 2 areas may take longer (2-3 business days).

Heavy, multiple items and office plant orders delivery: 3-4 business days. Some orders may take longer to be dispatched as we require time to pick and prepare your plants. We will notify you if there is a delay in the delivery of your order.

National delivery courier service: 1-4 business days. The majority of our national deliveries arrive on the preferred delivery date or just before, but unfortunately, it’s not date guaranteed. By ordering a gift plant, you acknowledge our authority to leave. Orders placed on Friday may be shipped out on the following Monday to prevent the plants from being stuck in transit.

The same-day delivery service is available for selected plants in the same-day delivery category only. You must select the same-day delivery option at checkout, and place your order by 11 am to ensure same-day delivery. Same-day delivery service is available from Monday to Friday. If the same-day delivery option (at checkout) is not available, a standard delivery service will apply. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel or not process any order placed on our Site due to unforeseen circumstances.

Our couriers have set an efficient route based on their deliveries on the day; therefore, we are unable to specify an exact time for delivery. Our couriers deliver to business addresses by 5 pm and residential addresses may be delivered up until 7 pm.

It is the customer’s responsibility to enter the correct ordering and delivery details when placing an order. We cannot be held responsible for undeliverable or wrongly delivered orders resulting from incorrect details provided by you. Additional charges will apply for re-delivery.

If no one is available to receive the order, we will leave it at the premises if deemed safe. Additional charges will apply for re-delivery.

If the delivery address is an apartment or unit, the customer is responsible for providing a contact number, any delivery instructions, and ensuring that someone will be available on the day to receive the order. If no one is available to receive the order, we will leave it at the premises if deemed safe, but if we cannot access the building, the order will be returned to us. Additional charges will apply for re-delivery.

Once your order has been delivered to a concierge, reception, mailroom or front desk at the address specified we cannot be held responsible for the order getting to the recipient.

Customers must notify us within 24 hours of delivery of any claim including missing products or quality issues.

Plants must be unpacked, checked and watered (if needed) on delivery or within 24 hours of delivery. Occasionally, plants may look a little tired after their journey, especially in hot weather, but they will soon bounce back once they are unwrapped and watered.
