You then have a further 14 days to return the goods.

Refunds will be issued within 14 days of receiving the returned goods or proof of return.


5.2 Exclusions – Perishable Goods

Due to their nature, perishable goods (including flowers, plants, and similar fresh items) are excluded from the 14-day cancellation right under UK law.

  • Refunds will only be issued if the item is:
    • damaged on arrival, or
    • not as described, or
    • not of satisfactory quality

Any issues must be reported within 24 hours of delivery, including photographic evidence where possible.

Items that are personalised, custom-made, or made to your specifications cannot be cancelled or returned once production has started.

This includes (but is not limited to):

  • made-to-order designs or arrangements

These goods are excluded from the 14-day cancellation right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights.

If goods are faulty, damaged, or incorrectly supplied, you are entitled to:
