My order was misrouted and then lost
My order was misrouted and then lost by the carriers Royal Mail so I never received my plant. Customer support were a little slow to respond but once they were aware of the problem they refunded me.

Nepenthes. Monkey Jar Plant. Excellent Service
Recently received a Nepenthes monkey jar plant which I am really pleased with. This is the second time I have purchased plants from the seller. Both times the orders arrived using a 24h tracked service, and were dispatched promptly. Plants came professionally packaged. Will certainly be purchasing more. Thank you 😊

Great packaging
Great packaging, plants were safe and still moist. Plants themselves very healthy.
Very good
Shipping was very quick and the plants were packaged incredibly well (use a knife to open!). plants had clearly not been in transit for very long, so stress was minimal. Definitely buying from here again!
Very good
Shipping was super fast, and the plants came very well packaged. Could tell they weren't in transit for very long, so stress was minimal. Will be buying again for sure!
Beautiful plant, quick delivery!
I ordered the plant on the Saturday and it was with me by the Wednesday, very well packaged and protected. It was super healthy when it arrived and is just beautiful!
Carnivorus plants
Plants arrived quick and were shipped with really good packaging/protection. The plants once unpacked were also very healthy and still damp. Overall a great service from SWCP.
Cracking Nepenthes plant!
Waited to see how plant settled before reviewing, all growing well, new pitchers now growing. Very healthy plant. Arrived very well packaged though loose in pot but after settling it in more firmly and adding a stake for support, plant now thriving. Excellent addition to my collection, lovely deep red pitchers.
I ordered a Sarracenia and a Sundew
I ordered a Sarracenia and a Sundew plus some trumpet pitcher compost. It was sent by Royal Mail. Despite being notified that it would be delivered between 7:30 am and 7:30 pm it hadn't arrived by 7:35pm so I looked for an email with a different delivery forecast and found a message from the supplier that it had been delivered to a different street despite my correct address and postcode being on the parcel. I had to go there to collect it! Inside, the plants were beautifully packed with sealing across the pots to stop the soil escaping and quite rigid plastic protecting the plants. They were in perfect condition and there was a care guide for the Sarracenia. So 5 stars to the supplier who cannot be held responsible for the Royal Mail failure to deliver correctly.
Very impressed
Very impressed, I ordered 4 plants and all arrived in perfect condition and look very good.
Venus fly trap
Wanted to purchase a rare 'Red Piranha' Venus Fly Trap and settled on Littleshopofhorrors.co.uk as the price was pretty reasonable and glad I did. Arrived today very well packaged with zero damage to the plant. Very healthy specimen received with lots of new traps appearing. Flower was kindly removed.
Lovely plants
Lovely plants, two weeks in and they are still alive (I'm not good with plants), so very happy.
good protective packaging
bought a venus flytrap. it arrived wrapped up in protective packaging with a healthy plant within :)
would recommend to friends and family!
One of the plants is sickly
One of the plants looked healthy and thriving, but the other is a weakling and needs nurturing.
excellent service
excellent service, delivery was perfect, was worried about getting such a delicate plant in post, shouldnt have been worried they have it down to a tee.
Thanks so much
10/10 service would recommend
I ordered soil for my vft and sundews along with some sundew seeds. I ordered this on Tuesday and they arrived Thursday with excellent delivery. Soil is very good for my plants and the seeds can wrapped up in a bag so none of them fell out 10/10 would recommend this
