Delivery
Schedule. We aim to offer an efficient and hassle-free service. Each plant is
carefully checked, watered and fed before packing.
We will normally deliver the goods ordered by you to the address that you specify
on your order. It is important that this address is accurate and complete. In order
to protect you from credit card fraud, we normally only supply goods to the registered
address of the card holder.
Our charges for transport, packaging and insurance are detailed on the order page
and will be included in the total price for the goods. Parcels require a signature upon
delivery unless specifically waived, whereupon the parcels will no longer be covered
by our insurance and the the risk of damage or loss passes to you after despatch.
You must inform us if you are going to be away at any time when delivery is
expected.
We will e mail you when the goods have been despatched.
If you believe the delivery is severely overdue, e mail us at webshop@paradisepark.co.uk. and we will take appropriate action.
Goods will normally be delivered by our own transport or by using a carrier.
We aim to despatch goods as soon as possible after your order is received. If the
lead time is likely to be greater than 30 days we will advise you accordingly. In spite of
all our efforts, there can sometimes be unforeseen delays. We cannot therefore guarantee
delivery times or accept liability for late deliveries.
If despatch is delayed for any reason, the delivery time will be extended and
we will contact you. If you wish to cancel at this time you will, of course, be able to do
so.
You will only own the goods once they have been successfully delivered and when we
have received cleared payment in full. Goods supplied are not for resale.
We accept no liability if a delivery is delayed because you did not give us the
correct payment details.
Guarantee. We guarantee that goods will meet their specification and will be free
from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of delivery.
We aim to give you a clear idea of the nature of the plants often based on our
experience at the nursery. However you will appreciate that there will inevitably be
slight variations in size, shape and colour between different specimens. Pictures,
descriptions and other information relating to plants are approximate and for guidance
only. Plants also vary according to season. For example a deciduous shrub will have no
leaves in winter and an herbaceous plant may not even have growth above soil level when
dormant.
We guarantee that plants will be in good condition at the time of delivery. If a
plant is unavailable at the time of order, we will substitute our nearest equivalent at no
additional cost to you. If you do not wish to receive a substitute you must advise us at
the time of order.
Should you feel dissatisfied in any way, please inform us as soon as possible and
we will do all we can to put things right. We intend that all plants that are despatched
from the nursery are healthy, quality plants. You must check plants carefully as soon as
they are received and notify us within 3 days if you have a complaint. We can then advise
you on aftercare or arrange for the plants to be returned. If it is necessary, we will
then do our best to sort you out a replacement or refund your money.
We cannot be held responsible for losses caused by severe weather, frost, drought,
flood, other climatic factors or over/under watering of plants.
We guarantee that goods other than plants will meet their specification and will
be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of delivery. In the unlikely
case of a defective product, please contact us at webshop@paradisepark.co.uk. We can then advise you whether to return the goods to us or
whether we will replace the defective part. We reserve the right to replace the defective
part or the goods. As an alternative we reserve the right to refund your purchase price.
If we ask you to return the goods please provide a full description of the fault and
return the defective item in it's original packaging, with all warranty cards, licences,
manuals and accessories. Then send the package to the address below for the attention of
the Internet Sales Manager, Paradise Park, Avis Road, Newhaven, East Sussex. BN9 0DH

Guide. The availability of an item is shown on the relevant product page and

we will substitute our nearest equivalent product at no additional cost to you. If you do
not wish to receive a substitute, you must advise us at the time of order. All estimated
delivery times are given in good faith but may subsequently vary and no liability is
accepted for late delivery.

order up to 7 working days after the goods are delivered, providing the goods are returned
in their original condition. To cancel an order, e mail us at webshop@paradisepark.co.uk including details of the order you are cancelling.
Whilst we respect your right to change your mind, we would ask that you take good
care of plants that you decide you do not want. Please make sure you follow any care
instructions we give you for the plants. We will advise you on what you have to do to
return plants.

wrapping the package securely and sending to: Paradise Park, Avis Road, Newhaven, East
