We will do our best to fulfil your order as requested and we only send young plants out when we are happy that they will thrive. If a variety is out of stock we may substitute with the nearest alternative variety rather than hold up your order, unless you state otherwise.

GuaranteeWe fully understand that we are sending living plants so there is always the possibility that something may go wrong along the way! Most other nurseries say that once they have delivered the plants to you they are your responsibility, but we offer a full 30 Day Guarantee. If, at any time during the first 30 days, you are unhappy for any reason then please send the plants back to us, preferably in a stout box. We will replace them or refund your money. Orders outside of the UK will receive a refund, not replacement plants.
If you do not return the plants to us then we cannot offer replacements/refunds.
We can only keep our standards high by investigating the cause of problems. We feel 30 days is a very fair guarantee period, so please do not return plants after that length of time or expect us to refund/replace them. If for any reason you are unable to return problem plants to us, we will not be able to replace them however we will record the information to monitor any problems a particular variety may have and to ensure our service remains oustanding. Regretfully Allwoods does not pay the cost of the return postage. Your statutory rights are not affected.
