Trolley & Box Delivery
1. Why are only some products available on trolley?
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 to ensure they arrive in tip top condition for you. As a general rule of thumb mixes (e.g Calathea mix) are available in box, and specific varieties (e.g Calathea Orbifolia) are only available on trolley.
2. What is the Trolley/Box Toggle for?
The Trolley/Box Toggle allows you to choose between two delivery options:
• Box Delivery: Opt for express delivery with no minimum order quantity. Remember only best sellers and our mixes will be available in boxes
• Trolley Delivery: Ideal for ordering all types of plants at lower prices. This option requires you to fill a minimum of one trolley (just keep adding until the trolley icon turns green and allows you to check out).
Watch: How To Choose Between Trolley and Box Delivery
3. How do I change between Box or Trolley pricing?
Simply slide the toggle to choose between express box delivery with no minimum order quantity or cost-effective trolley delivery for larger orders.
