Incorrect Goods
If we sent you something you hadn’t ordered and which was not a substitute item (see below), return it within 28 working days unused and in its original packaging and you will not be charged.
Damaged In Transit
If your purchase is damaged in transit you can return it within 28 days and either get a replacement or a refund. Please make sure you give us your order number and return the item in its original packaging.
Damaged or Defective Goods
Products
If you receive a product that is defective, you can return it within 28 days and either get a replacement or a refund. Please make sure you give us your order number and return the item in its original packaging. If the product is covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, please contact the manufacturer directly.
Plants.
If you receive a plant that is in bad condition when you take it out of the box, contact us immediately. We may then ask you to send us a photograph so that there is no doubt as to it’s condition on arrival with you, as opposed to what it looks like by the time you return it to us. Bear in mind that plants look different depending on what time of year it is. If you choose a nice leafy-looking deciduous shrub in the winter, remember it’s going to turn up looking pretty bare. It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with it, just that it’s out of season and will perk up when the weather does. Perennial plants won’t even show above the soil level in a pot during the winter, but that doesn’t mean you’ve been fobbed off with a bunch of soil. However, provided that you have contacted us within 14 days of receiving the damaged plant we will be happy to arrange for a refund or replacement.
Cutflowers and Indoor Plants
If you receive a bouquet that is in bad condition when you take it out of the box, please, please contact us immediately. Provided that you have contacted us within 48 hours of receiving the damaged bouquet, we will be happy to arrange for a refund or replacement. To help us establish the cause of the problem we will ask you to send us a photograph. This removes any doubt about the condition of the plant or bouquet that has been received by you, as opposed to what it looks like by the time you return it to us.
One year Guarantee on Plants, shrubs, trees and perennials
Our plants (shrubs, trees and perennials) are all guaranteed for one year after you’ve bought them. If the plant fails in the first 12 months, we will replace it or refund you. This guarantee does not include any plants damaged due to lack of watering or lack of proper horticultural care. In particular, plants will not be replaced if the plant care guidelines, sent out with the order, have not been followed. All you have to do is take a picture of the plant, send it in with your order number to customerservices-homebase@crocus.co.uk, and tell us what the problem is. We will then do our best to sort you out a replacement or refund your money. You will be charged for delivery on replacement items.
Cancellation
You can return anything you’re not happy with within 14 days of receiving it provided it’s not something you’ve tried out and not liked! The analogy would be buying a dress, wearing it for a party and then deciding you no longer want it! The only exceptions to this are Cut Flowers and Christmas Trees.
To cancel an order, please drop us an e-mail at customerservices-homebase@crocus.co.uk with details of the order you are cancelling.
We will not pay the costs of returning an item to us.
Until we receive the goods you are returning, they are your responsibility. For your protection and peace of mind, we recommend you use a recorded delivery service to return things.
To get a full refund, simply return the item to us in its original condition, in its original packaging within 28 days of cancellation.
If the item has been damaged, used or is not returned in its original packaging, we reserve the right to withhold a percentage of the refund value if the item needs to be reduced in price for resale.
Substitutes
If you order a Ready-Made Border, Plant Combination or Border Design and a plant in the scheme is unavailable, we reserve the right to replace it with something similar. You can rely on us to choose a plant that’s not only of a comparable size and price but one that fits in with the overall design we’ve worked on with you
