Customer Service

Thank you for your continuing support and custom in these challenging times. However, due to an unprecedented number of orders and supply chain difficulties your order might take an extra few days to arrive. Sincere apologies for this.


Collections

If you choose collection, we will contact you when your goods are in stock to arrange a collection time from our warehouse. Collection of pre-made orders is possible on Fridays between 9.00 and 17.00, or strictly by appointment on other days during the working week. Please note that orders for collection cannot be processsed on same day.

Shipping & Delivery

We aim to ship all orders for in-stock items as soon as possible. Delivery is by courier or An Post. If some of the items in your order are out of stock we'll get in touch to let you know when to expect delivery.  If you have any questions about your delivery, please email us on [email protected]

Delivery Rates

  • Unlike many businesses we do not factor the delivery cost into the price of our products and offer an illusory cheap delivery rate. A quick price comparison can show that you may be paying many times over for your cheaper delivery. This also means that customers who collect from our warehouse and commercial growers who buy in bulk are not subsidising other people’s deliveries.
  • For in-stock items we usually aim to dispatch your order as soon as we receive it. During busy periods we make every effort to ship orders within five working days. Most orders are sent by courier (DPD or Fastway) and arrive in 2-3 working days anywhere in Ireland.
  • If your order contains items that you require for a specific date, please phone us on 027 50710 to check that we have everything in stock and can get it dispatched in time.
  • Orders containing main crop potatoes and onion sets will be shipped from mid February onwards. Be patient please as delays can occur.
  • Your goods will be delivered by An Post, DPD/Fastway courier or haulier - depending on weight and size. We reserve the right to change the chosen delivery option if necessary.
  • It is important that you provide an Eircode and contact phone number so that the delivery driver can contact you.
  • Normally a courier parcel charge covers up to 27kg. However certain items cannot be combined in one parcel despite weighing less than 27kg in total. For instance, delicate or long items cannot be packaged with heavy bulky items due to the high likelihood of damage in transit. We do our best to minimise the required parcels for your order but also need to ensure that your items arrive safely.
