Why can I not remove Royalty labels?You will receive Royalty Variety labels where applicable. Breeders, finders or agents of certain new varieties will often agree a royalty rate with producers such as ourselves before we sell the plant. We in turn collect royalties on the sales of these plants, declare the sales and pass back royalties to these plant breeders, finders or agents that have invested and facilitated bringing new plants to the market. The majority of plant varieties that have a royalty charge attached have been awarded a form of patent, or recognition of intellectual property, known as Plant Variety Rights (PVR). These varieties are denoted in our listings with a (P). Other royalty varieties in our listings are denoted with a (VR). These are not necessarily afforded plant protection in our specific geographical region but might have a form of protection or patent in other parts of the world, might have names series or variety names patented (registered), or simply agreed that we pay a royalty as an incentive and reward for the breeder or finder bringing the variety to our attention. |

Whats the difference between surplus and forward orders?Immediate Surplus: All the plants on the Surplus list are available to book immediately for despatch 2 weeks after the order date. We work to a 2 week lead time, however this will change during our peak season. Once the order is placed from the Surplus List you should be aware that sometimes, although we endeavour to maintain our surplus list as accurately as possible we are not always able to ensure that every tray is available to send, or up to specification. Any shortages on orders placed and confirmed from our surplus list will be removed at point of despatch. Unfortunately we are not able to contact customers at the point of despatch to notify of varieties we are unable to send. These will be removed from the system and will not be held on back order. Future Delivery: Orders submitted at least a minimum of 10 weeks prior to requiring your order are known as Future Deliveries. Orders can be placed online up to 1 year in advance. |
Why is my delivery missing varieties?Due to the fact that our Surplus/Availability is allocated on a first come, first served basis (particularly at certain times of year), please bear in mind that the varieties that you require may not be available once your order is collated, quality and specification checked. If there are any shortages on orders that have been placed and confirmed from our surplus list for immediate (or soonest possible) despatch, we will send what is possible and remove the remainder at point of despatch. If however you have a future order, then any missing items may have been delayed and put on a back order for despatch on a later date. |

When sending trolleys with TAG5 we will only accept trolleys with TAG5 in return. This method of delivery is generally for orders of approx. 30 + units |
The plants were confirmed but were cancelled at point of confirmation , why is this?Although we try our best to keep our Surplus list up to date sometimes it is not always possible to maintain figures as accurately as we would like. Plants are added to orders on a first come, first serve basis and unfortunately this means that by the time the order is processed the plants may no longer be available. |
