Delivery Times

At The Little Botanical, we take extra care to ensure that your beautiful new plants arrive in perfect condition, ready to brighten up your home, so here’s everything you need to know about our delivery process:

 Dispatch Days

We dispatch orders from Monday to Thursday to avoid your plants spending too long in delivery depots over the weekend. For those who select express delivery, we also dispatch on Fridays until 1pm (accept for our Large & XL Plants which will be delivered on Monday – Thursday only)

If you place a priority order over the weekend, don’t worry — we’ll process and dispatch it on Monday, so it reaches its new home on Tuesday, fresh and fabulous!

Delivery Times

  • Standard Delivery: Our standard lead time is 2-3 working days.
  • Express Delivery: For a speedier service, our express delivery takes just 1 working day (cut-off for this service is 1pm).
  • Orders over £65: Orders qualifying for free delivery will be sent with our standard delivery option unless express delivery is selected at checkout.

Important Information

We do not offer timed, specific day, or weekend/bank holiday delivery slots. Unfortunately, we can’t hold orders for future dates, as we wouldn’t want your gorgeous greenery to miss its special occasion!

For our larger houseplants (Large or XL), delivery times may vary slightly as we don’t keep large stock quantities of these beauties and to avoid your gorgeous greenery to be set in the courier depot all weekend, we only ship Large & XL plants from Monday to Thursdays.

Delivery Charges

If a delivery fails due to an incorrect address or if there are three or more attempted deliveries, there will be a re-delivery charge of £4.95.

We aim to make your plant delivery smooth and stress-free, so your new leafy friend arrives looking its very best!

Gift Message & Gift Vouchers

At our checkout page there is space for you to add a gift message, please pop your message in there and we will hand write it for your recipient.

Unfortunately If your plant or pot is damaged when it arrives, please contact us within 7 days and we will do our very best to resolve things for you. As all of our plants are live and living, we do not offer any guarantee on these however we are always happy to give care tips and advise.

Our plants are sent to you with easy-to-follow care instructions and we are here to offer you any advice or help to make sure your plants provide your home with lots of green goodness for weeks to come.

We hope you love your products from The Little Botanical. If for any reason you are disappointed, then please get in touch, and we will do everything we can to make you happy again.

Minimum spend

Due to increased pressure on our delivery network we have taken the decision to introduce a minimum £20 spend per order. This will ensure we are able to maximise capacity through our distribution network and reduce unnecessary packaging. That way, you can be safe in the knowledge that your plants will be delivered as quickly, and sustainably, as possible.
