Coronavirus Update (COVID-19)

On the 11th March 2020, the World Health Organisation upgraded the Coronavirus outbreak to a worldwide pandemic and this became a 'known event' on 13th March 2020. During this difficult and testing time, please check and confirm with your clients before ordering flowers that the event is still going ahead. Credits for orders placed on or after Friday 13th March will not be issued. Cancellations are not being issued if the flowers have been brought from the flower markets or suppliers. *This statement overrides all other references to our credit procedure in these terms and conditions until this situation changes. Please also refer to our updated Coronavirus statement on the web site here.

Conditions OF SERVICE

The wholesale cut flowers and foliage purchased on our website are sourced from the Dutch Flower Auctions, British growers and many other countries around the world. Cut flowers Triangle Nursery Ltd do not hold the general stock of flowers in store to ensure the flowers are as fresh as possible for your event. Our buyers source the best quality flowers available on the day of purchase (quality visible on product description).

Prices

All prices are clearly set out in the online webshop and our daily UK stock holding price list. In the unlikely event an item or items have been inadvertently priced incorrectly we will not be liable to supply any such item or items to you at the price stated provided that we notify you of the items concerned.

All published prices exclude delivery charges (if applicable) and VAT at the current UK rate of 20%. Fresh flowers are bought and sold at auction. Due to supply and demand, prices change on a daily basis. All published prices are valid only on the day of publication. If an error has been made as far as pricing is concerned we reserve the right to refund any payments and not despatch the order.

Fresh Flowers and Sundries (including product imagery)

Fresh flowers are perishable goods and a degree of natural variance can be expected against product listings and images. The images shown are for guidance purposes only to show you the product on offer and not the quantity (as this can differ with suppliers). Published stem lengths are approximations only. No credits or compensation will be issued in the event of natural variations associated with colour, stem length, bloom size, grade, shape, weight etc. 

When viewing images on the website, colour, shade and clarity will depend on the screen quality of the device (computer, tablet or phone). This is applied to both fresh flowers and sundries / accessories on the website. 

Most of the floral illustrations are photographed in full bloom. Triangle Nursery Ltd aim, where possible, to supply the flower(s) in tight bud to ensure they remain at their best for the longest time possible for the customer. It is important to consider this when choosing your delivery date in the lead up to your event. Advice is available if required, however there are multiple factors that can affect the development of any flower including the conditioning process, the storage temperature, the weather (hot or cold), etc. In addition, the customer is expected to have a knowledge and experience when ordering and handling wholesale cut flowers, especially if not requesting our advice before making a purchase. Triangle Nursery Ltd do not take responsibility for the conditioning, the development (how long it takes for the flower(s) to open) and if the flower(s) is not suitable for specific projects. 

In the event of flowers being ordered too early and opening too soon as a result, Triangle Nursery Ltd are not obliged to offer any form of compensation or refund.

Placing an Order

Triangle Nursery Ltd highly recommend customers to place the order online themselves using the website. This gives the customer complete control of the prices, quantities and grades required to fit their individual budget. Advise is available over the phone and email if required. It is not possible to create an account on the website (and place an order) without agreeing to these 'Terms and Conditions.' 

In the event, the customer requests Triangle Nursery Ltd to process the order on their behalf, the customer also agrees to these 'Terms and Conditions.' In this case, Triangle Nursery Ltd will choose the flower varieties, stem length and grades on the customers behalf unless otherwise specified. A substitute will be chosen if the original requested is not available on the website at the time of order. A direct link to these 'Terms and Conditions' will be clearly visible on the order confirmation email. The order confirmation email will only be received if the correct customer email address is supplied. 

If the customer has no or little experience in the conditioning, handling, specific recommended use (such as which flower varieties should be used for specific projects) and timing of wholesale cut flowers we highly recommended that the customer does not buy wholesale flowers and, instead, employs the services of a fully qualified local florist. A complete Care & Conditioning guide is available on our web site & for more in depth instructions per variety please visit our Flower Guides 

In the event a customer orders the cut flowers too early in error, Triangle Nursery Ltd will always try to help resolve the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible. If alerted earlier enough (as soon as ordered), we will attempt to delay or cancel the order with the suppliers, however if the order has already been sourced, the order will arrive on the original day requested and Triangle Nursery Ltd will offer to hold the order until a later delivery date. Please note, cut flowers are perishable goods and Triangle Nursery Ltd will not take any responsibility for their condition when they are eventually delivered to the customer.

In the event a customer has a special request for the order, please contact the office directly on telephone on 01394 385 832 during opening hours (or leave a voicemail out of hours) or email. Important: Delivery instructions is for the delivery company only. Please do not include any special requests in this field as it is not seen by the office or warehouse staff. 

Amending an order

In the event, a customer requires an amendment to the contact details or delivery address on the order, the customer must contact the office as soon as possible. We highly recommend to check the confirmation invoice email to make sure all the details for the order are correct. Once the order is in process (day before delivery), it is difficult to intercept and make amendments to easily. In peak periods, the staff will not be able to make any amendments to the order due to the high volume of consignments. 

In the event a customer would like to reduce the quantities of fresh flowers on the order, the customer must contact the office as soon as possible. If the sourcing process has begun, fresh flower orders cannot be refunded or amended. If this process has not yet started and time allows, we may be able to reduce the quantity with the supplier and refund the product(s). 

In the event a customer would like to add fresh flowers on the order, the customer must contact the office as soon as possible. If the window of ordering is available on the website, the customer can place a new order on the website filling in the exact same information as the original (including delivery date, address and contact details) and choosing 'Collect from Store' to eliminate the extra delivery charge. If the window is not available on the website, the customer can only telephone in the order and our buyers can try to source the extra flowers directly from the auctions, and not based on the prices shown on the website. Email is not advised as the order may be missed and Triangle Nursery Ltd cannot be held responsible. 

In the event a customer would like to upgrade the delivery, the customer must contact the office prior to the day of despatch. Payment will be taken and an invoice sent to confirm the upgrade. 

Amendments to orders will not appear on the original invoice (apart from the change of delivery address). A member of staff will send an email to confirm the changes to the order. 

Product Warnings

Product warnings are applied to certain products on the website and will appear clearly when the product in question is added to the shopping basket. 

In the event a product warning(s) is visible on a product(s) on the website, no credits will be issued for the product(s) that carry warning(s) if the customer has not taken the advice and purchased at their own risk. At certain times of the year, this is general 'website wide' warning that is applied to certain product(s).

Payment

Payment is taken via credit or debit card. We accept all major payment cards including VISA, Mastercard and American Express. Full payment is required before the order can be despatched for delivery.

Estimate Service (Please note, this service has been temporarily suspended)

The 'Request an Estimate' service available on the website is intended to help customers with budgets, highlight products that may not be seasonally available and any price suggested is not a fixed quote. It is vital to understand that that the price of wholesale flowers change on a daily basis due to market demand & supply, therefore the estimate provided will only be our opinion of what flower prices may be around your requested event date.

In the event a customer requests an estimate, it can take 10 working days for the estimate to be returned via email to the customer. The estimate confirmation email will only be received if the correct customer email is provided. 

Advice from Staff

The nature of flowers is to react to their environment and floristry and/or floral design is dependant on the style of each individual. For these reasons amongst others, neither the company or company's employees can be held responsible for advice given regarding the flower handling, colour (as subjective), stem quantities required, variety recommendation or any other general advice. 

Health and Safety

None of our products including fresh flowers, foliage, plants, sundries/accessories on the website are intended for human or pet consumption. We strongly recommend to keep out of reach of children and pets. Some flowers can cause sensitive reaction, may have sharp thorns or may have pollen from stamens that may stain any material it comes into contact with. Triangle Nursery Ltd recommend wearing gloves if you are unsure and cannot be held responsible or accountable for any allergic reactions from foliage, flowers or their pollen, injuries or harm to both humans and pets caused by handling or consuming our good(s).  Any incidents due to mishandling or consumption does not constitute a breach of our agreement and does not entitle the customer to a refund or any form of compensation.

DELIVERY

Consigments of fresh cut flowers and sundry accessories are delivered via a reliable tracked courier service (i.e. DPD, DHL or Parcelforce - non-refigersted). The consignments are dry packaged in standard flower boxes with supports (if required) out of water.

We usually recommend deliveries of wholesale cut flowers to be delivered approximately 2 to 3 days prior to the event to allow time for conditioning and development of the flower(s) received. For certain flower varieties, you may need to receive the flowers earlier than others to allow sufficient development time. Advise is available upon request. 

In the event, a customer requests a specific delivery note to be added to the consignment, contact the office via email or telephone prior to despatch. A delivery note can include a message to a recipient, and/or note to the courier company to aid the driver. 

In the event a customer has a special request for an order, please contact the office directly on telephone on 01394 385 832 during opening hours (or leave a voicemail out of hours) or email. Important: The delivery instruction field in the checkout is intended for the delivery company only. Please do not include any special requests in this field as it is not seen by the office or packing staff. Triangle Nursery Ltd will not take responsibility or held accountable if this information is not abided by. Any misunderstanding of the delivery information field does not constitute a breach of our agreement and does not entitle the customer to a refund or any form of compensation.

You should always try to plan your delivery day and location so that someone will be available to receive your delivery.  This is particularly important if wholesale cut flowers are part of the order because they should be unpacked and conditioned as soon as possible. If, when placing your order, you know it is not possible for someone to be available, you must indicate where the goods can be left safely at your address or with a neighbour etc.  Please enter these “Delivery Driver Instructions” (maximum 50 characters) when placing your order on our website.  The information you enter is transferred automatically to DPD for their driver’s attention. 

On the morning of the designated delivery day, DPD will notify you of the approximate time they will make the delivery to the address.  This is in the form of an hour slot and is notified to you via automated text and email, using the contact details you have registered with Triangle Nursery.   If something happens on the day and no-one is now available to receive the delivery at the time indicated, you should inform DPD as soon as possible by responding to their automated text message or email.  Both have “Show My Options” facilities that allow you to select alternative arrangements directly with DPD.  If no alternative instructions are received by DPD, then the delivery driver is permitted to leave the goods in a place that they deem safe or return the goods to the local depot (for re-attempting delivery the following day).  In each of these circumstances, neither Triangle Nursery Ltd nor the courier acting on our behalf will be responsible or accept any claim for loss or damage to the goods.

Post Brexit Custom Clearance

In the event our delivery is delayed at customs at point of importation, there is a chance that your order will not be with you on the chosen delivery date. This failure to deliver in the given time frame due to an unforeseen delay does not constitute a breach of our agreement and does not entitle the customer to a cancellation, a refund or any form of compensation.
