Please read the following carefully. By submitting an order, you are accepting the Terms and Conditions of the Garden Trends website.
1.Descriptions, Prices and Information
When adding products to the website, we take care to describe and show items as accurately as possible. Despite this, slight variations in items may occur. We provide you with product information on GardenTrends.co.uk or by our Customer Service telephone or email contact methods. If there is anything which you do not understand, or if you wish to obtain further information, please contact Customer Services.
All prices displayed are correct at time of entry, and what the law calls an "invitation to treat". You cannot insist that a shop sells you anything at a marked price, whether or not they have made a mistake. Under law, a retailer is entitled to decide the price he wants to charge for his goods. Visit Trading Standards for more information.
The price offered in respect of an item on the Garden Trends website may differ from the price offered at the same time in our stores. We are under no obligation to honour any in-store price or promotion in the event that it differs from those on the Garden Trends website.
If, by mistake, we have under-priced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we despatch the item to you. In those circumstances, we will notify the correct price to you so you can decide whether or not you wish to proceed with the order. If you decide not to order the item, we will give you a full refund on any amount already paid for that item in accordance with our refund policy.
In the same way you don't have to buy goods from anyone, a retailer is under no obligation to sell you anything.
Item size descriptions may not always be wholly accurate, we endeavour to post accurate size dimensions to our product pages, but they should be used as a rough guide, some variation may be present.
1.1 VAT
All prices are expressed inclusive of any VAT payable unless otherwise stated.
1.2 Flatpack
Unless otherwise stated, most of our products require some assembly, the scope of this should be briefly explained on the item page itself; if you have any questions, please contact our customer service team to discuss this. Our larger BBQ and garden furniture most likely will not come flat packed, it will be a bulky delivery in a large box(or boxes) and / or on a pallet, some assembly will be required.
At this time, we do not offer a pre or post purchase assembly service; we are not required to do so and are under no obligation to alter our prices of products to factor in any cost to you if you decide to hire someone for this task.
1.3 Remittance Terms
Please note that for administrative reasons, we cannot take deposits or hold stock. Your credit/debit card is charged in full at the time of order. Orders placed using PayPal are re-directed to PayPal and are also charged in full at the time of order. BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) purchases are also started at the time of purchase, you will be redirected to the relevant BNPL option to confirm the agreement before your order is completed.
2. Stock Availability
We try to ensure that we always carry sufficient stock levels where possible. Where a product is despatched directly from a manufacturer, we may need to contact them first to confirm availability. If an item is knowingly out of stock it will be labelled as such on the Garden Trends website. If you order from our Customer Services by phone, email, or in-store and you will be told if the item is in stock. If for any other reason beyond our reasonable control we are unable to supply a particular item, we will not be liable to you except to ensure that you are promptly refunded for that item.
3.Site Registration
To purchase from the Garden Trends website, you can choose to setup a website user account. This is simple to do, allows you to keep track of your purchases, and ensures a positive buying experience.
You will need to enter a valid email address which we can contact you on and provide a password. We ask you to keep this secure - our staff do not have access to see this. If you forget your password, you can reset it.
4. Delivery
Garden Trends believes delivery should be fast, easy and hassle-free. Orders placed after Thursday PM, during the weekend or on a Bank Holiday will be subject to a slight delay as couriers do not operate a standard service during these periods. Once an order is placed, and an item has been dispatched, you will receive a Dispatch email. This will give you your delivery tracking number (where applicable).
4.1 Delivery to Mainland UK
Delivery pricing and schedules are available on our Delivery page. Delivery will be via a private courier service. This is dictated by the total weight or physical size of your order. Where possible we will endeavour to ship all purchased items together (if your order contains multiple items), this is however not always possible and you may therefore receive multiple shipments.
4.2 Delivery to UK Highlands and Channel Islands
This includes the Scottish Highlands, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man and Channel Islands. Delivery times on these orders will vary, depending on the size and weight of the order; orders to these locations may incur an additional shipping charge which you, the purchaser, are liable for (regardless of what is stated in general for Mainland UK general deliveries (Scottish Highlands specifically)). Please be assured that we always attempt to get your order with you as soon as possible, however, due to the additional difficulty in delivering to these locations, the advertised timeframes for delivery may not always be met; we do not hold any liability for exceeding this timeframe. For information on any delivery surcharges to these addresses, please view our Delivery Information or contact us if you are unsure.
4.3 Delivery of Large or Bulky Products
Larger or bulky items, which can include some barbecues, garden furniture sets, and any oversized items, may require a specialised delivery service. Should this be the case, the courier we select to deliver should contact you and arrange a suitable day for delivery.
Delivery will take place on Monday - Friday between 8.00 - 6.00pm and there must be someone in to sign. If you are unsure on any particular item, please call us.
Delivery of particularly large or pallet items are “kerbside” only, we nor the appointed courier has no obligation to carry your delivery up or down steps, through your house or delivering over difficult or unsafe terrain.
After you have taken delivery of your pallet item, we nor the courier are liable for damage caused in transporting the goods to their final destination after the courier drop off.

4.6 Delivery during busy periods
We experience a surge of orders between April to July and November to January. At these times, all our services and suppliers are pushed to their maximum capabilities and occasionally this can lead to a slight delay in order processing and despatch. We will endeavour to keep you informed at all times.
Due to the additional difficulty on all supply chain aspects during these times, the advertised timeframes for delivery may not always be met; we do not hold any liability for exceeding this timeframe.
4.7 Next Day Delivery
You can contact us for a quote on next day delivery, this may not always be possible and if it would be possible it will incur an additional charge that must be paid in addition to the item/s purchase. It is not always possible for a courier to complete a delivery next day, we nor the courier are liable for the return of these costs if the agreed date is not met.
4.8 Damage during delivery
Occasionally items are damaged during transit, it is crucial to document any visible signs of damage before accepting a delivery (especially pallet deliveries) or before opening the box.
