UK Standard Delivery
Covid-19
Most deliveries and services are now back on track but there are still some knock on effects from Covid that can affect deliveries, see here for more information
Normal Procedure
Delivery is free on all Garden4Less orders over £50, exclusions may apply for remote areas, merchant items and bulk items weighing in excess of 25kg.
Free delivery is estimated at between 2-3 working days, but you can request an item to be delivered quicker (with the day of delivery given on the product page), or for a specific day, for a fee of £10.
We can sometimes arrange special delivery or Saturday delivery by phone request, but this will usually result in an extra fee to cover the additional courier or dispatch charges involved in fast tracking the order.
Please be aware that we cannot arrange an absolute guarantee delivery date for an order as the delivery itself is performed by a third party courier and, although it is very rare, failures do sometimes occur due to misrouting of a parcel.
There are a few exclusions to these delivery timescales on specific products but these exclusions are mentioned in the products description and relate to wheelbarrows, Buschbeck masonry BBQs and Nemasys pest control products.
The estimated time for delivery is listed on each individual item in the section under 'add to basket'.
UK Mainland Delivery Charges

Standard Delivery is £2.95 for goods under £50 (additional charges may apply for remote post codes*)
For orders under £50 our standard delivery charge is £2.95, once this has been reached all items added subsequently will be done so at no additional cost to delivery.

UK Delivery Times
Our current delivery times for standard UK delivery is estimated at 2-3 working days.
Although the majority of orders are delivered within these timescales, there will always a few exceptions where the delivery does not arrive within the estimated duration.
In these instances, we ask you to be patient but advise that if an order has not been received within 10 working days you contact us at contact@garden4less.co.uk where we can track your delivery.
Pre-Orders
An item listed for delivery in a month e.g 'May' instead of a number of days is a pre-order item.
This is the month that we expect to receive the item to us and get it to you. The timings of these are rough as it's based on when it's expected to arrive to us after being shipped from China.
We endeavour to keep you updated about the delivery of this with emails when we have updates of each stage. More information can be found Here
If you've ordered multiple items and one includes a Pre-Order, our standard procedure is to wait and send them all out together. Please contact us if you would like us to process your order differently.
