Refund & Exchange Policy

Although we are committed to selling high-quality products, and we hope you will enjoy them, there may be times you wish to have a product refunded or exchanged.

We will endeavour to repair the product after 28 days and up to one year. If this is not possible, we will offer you a replacement.

The products must be equal: must be in stock, have the exact product specification, be the same brand and be sold with the same service conditions.

We will not match competitors in administration or closing down, coupon and auction websites, e-commerce websites, factory outlets, market stalls, or end-of-season clearance, promotions or sales prices.

Where prices are matched under the price promise scheme, money-back vouchers will not apply.

Our price promise does not apply to any sale, discounted products, or sold under special offers or promotions.

In rare cases where we agree on an internet price match, this applies only when the identical product is readily available, and postage/delivery charges are considered. Product specifications must be confirmed before any refunds are issued.

Proof of price must be demonstrated.

Our price promise policy will only be valid for up to and including 14 days after the purchase.

5 Year Plant Guarantee

Blue Diamond Garden Centres are committed to guaranteeing customers the best quality plants. We are so sure of the high quality of our plants that we offer a five year guarantee on all hardy nursery stock from the date of purchase. This guarantee does not include plants bought in our reduced-to-clear or Sale sections.

If, after proper care of the plants is carried out (including but not limited to providing water, fertiliser and insect and disease control), any of these plants fail to establish within five years of purchase, the plants will be replaced at the same size and quantity as at original purchase, or we will issue a full refund. This depends upon proof of purchase with a valid receipt and the return of the plant/s in question. Please note that extreme climate conditions may invalidate this guarantee. This five year guarantee does not affect or alter your statutory rights in any way.

If you have any further questions, please ask a member of staff at customer services.

Recycling and Plastic Use Policy

Blue Diamond Group of Garden Centres, Plant Department, Retail Environmental Policy Statement on Plastic and Expanded Polystyrene Use.

Blue Diamond Group of Garden Centres (Blue Diamond) recognises that waste plastic is a huge environmental issue, not least due to the negative impact on the marine environment.

Blue Diamond is therefore committed to minimising its use of plant pot plastics, reducing the environmental impact of waste plant pot plastics and to beating the national target of eliminating avoidable plastic waste before the end of 2042.

In order to achieve these commitments Blue Diamond Plant Department has implemented the following environmental policy; -

1. Blue Diamond is working in partnership with the horticultural industry and its suppliers to reduce and eliminate harmful plant pot plastics.

2. Already the majority of plant pot plastic which is stocked in the Plant Departments within Blue Diamond is made of recycled plastic and can be recycled.

3. Blue Diamond is, however, working with all its horticultural suppliers towards ensuring that only a combination of kerbside recyclable and recycled material is used in the production, packaging and sale of plants. This material will be carbon pigment-free and kerbside recyclable.

4. Blue Diamond aims to eliminate the use of non-recycled/non-kerbside recyclable plant pot plastic within its centres by the end of 2020.

5. Blue Diamond will encourage customers, employees and suppliers to reduce the use of plant pot plastic and to use only kerbside recyclable plant pot plastics. Blue Diamond will provide recycling opportunities at each of its garden centres for the plant pot plastic waste. This scheme will be introduced in 2019.

6. Blue Diamond aims to eliminate the use of expandable polystyrene in its plant products by the end of April 2019.

7. Blue Diamond undertakes regular audits of its suppliers to ensure suppliers are doing all they can to eliminate the use of non-recyclable plant pot plastics and expanded polystyrene to ensure these materials are eradicated from Blue Diamond’s plant products.

8. Blue Diamond is working with plant suppliers to encourage the use of recycled water in the production of their plant products and to use Biomass fuels and/or other renewable energy sources for the heating of glass houses. The majority of plant suppliers have been doing this already for a number of years.

9. Blue Diamond is aiming to be at the forefront of the development of new packaging that reduces the use of plant pot plastic altogether.

This should be by telephone and confirmed with an email.

“I want to cancel a custom-made order:” Unfortunately, by nature of the product being made to your specified requirements and tastes, we cannot offer refunds on these items.

PRODUCT SPECIFIC RETURN INFORMATION

Any returns due to defects or damages must be notified within 24 hours following from delivery. The damaged items will be replaced within a reasonable period of time and at no cost to the customer. We will require photographic evidence of the damage/defect before any replacement/collection can be instigated. 

A customer can exercise their right to return the product under the 14-day return procedure Blue Diamond limited will provide an address for the goods to be returned to, but the customer needs to arrange their own transport for the goods. Typically, with furniture and garden furniture, the return cost could be £60-£120, but this is a guide only and will vary depending on the nature and location of the goods. Upon receipt, the goods will be checked and if not damaged, a full refund will be processed. Should there be any damage to the returned goods, Blue Diamond limited will contact the customer and provide images to confirm the damage and provide an indication of the repair cost before processing a partial refund. Blue Diamond limited may be able to arrange collection of the goods, the cost of which will be debited from the original amount paid prior to any refund and will be quoted at cost including VAT. 

All returned garden furniture items must be suitably packaged in their original packaging and if delivered on a pallet, must be collected on the same size pallet. 

Rattan Garden Furniture Note:

All our rattan garden furniture has been carefully hand woven and is crafted from synthetic all-weather rattan weave. As the material is synthetic, woven table tops may move during hot weather which is due to the natural expansion of the material and is perfectly normal. As is cools down the weave will return back to the original taught finish. This is not a defect of the product and will happen with all brands of rattan garden furniture.

Fires, BBQs & Braziers

Any item used for burning any fuel may be liable to discolouration due to heat and this should be expected and does not affect the structural integrity of the product. If discolouration does occur with any product used for burning, we advise the use of fire stove paint for touching up to keep the 'as new' look. 

Please contact our customer service team who will assist in these instances
