The plants come quickly before the date, the only thing I didn't like is what they came in a small cardboard box which was quite damp and manhandled by the postman. He just shoved it in the letterbox and squashed the box lucky the plants are all okay i would've put them in a crushproof box instead

My first order came promptly but the box was torn and squashed but the plants inside weren't damaged. My second order was double the size and came once again promptly. It was securely packed and even though I was only able to unpack them the following day, they were in perfect condition. The delivery service was friendly and helpful. Delighted and will always use them in the future
