COLD WEATHER & POST

Tuesday, April 2, 2013

The current weather forecast for the week suggests severe night time frost - possibly all week so we will not be able to send out plant orders... again! 

After the great success of the Vanda orchids (which are now all booked) I have arranged to collect another batch on 14th May!

Book one while you can! Vanda orchids available which are due in on 14/15 May and will be in bud

POSTAGE INCREASES
Royal Mail also sneaked in a price increase today (2nd April) which almost doubled the price of postage on items we send. Everything over 8cm (about 3 inches) thick is now considered a 'medium parcel' and the minimum price they charge is now £6.75 which is almost double the price it was last week!.

All our items are over 3 inches thick when packed so it will seriously affect our sales. To save money I suggest you order several items (up to 1kg worth can be sent for the same price).

I also suggest you complain to your local MP about this as it will affect so many small mail order firms like us it is sure to backfire on them in the long run.
