Delivery & Returns

DELIVERY

Soto delivers across the UK mainland within 3-7 business days. Outdoor plants will be delivered from the week of 18th March. Deliveries of large borders outside of London and the Home Counties could be slightly longer and we are unable to send compost outside of this area. Soto Guests including the Big Green Egg and FLOWERBX are delivered by them in accordance with their terms and conditions.

Cost

Delivery of Soto products is free for all orders over £50. For orders under £50 we charge £6. FLOWERBX products cost £5 to be delivered.

Where we deliver

Soto plants, pot kits, pots and accessories are delivered throughout the UK Mainland. Soto currently delivers borders within Greater London and the Home Counties in 3-7 working days, further afield might take longer for larger borders. We can't deliver outside standard DPD Mainland addresses. If you live outside of these areas but would like to purchase something from Soto, please get in touch to discuss. Soto delivers Christmas trees to London. FLOWERBX deliver UK nationwide.

It is important to remember that plants are living things, so please open the packages as soon as you receive them.

• Our plants receive a thorough water before being packed, enough for their intended journey time, so it is important you follow the Soto care guidelines.
• Please contact Soto if you need to update your delivery instructions.
• If you are not personally receiving the delivery, please ensure the person who is will be happy to accept perishable items and will check the delivery.
• If you are ordering more than one item, please be aware that items may not be delivered together, or they may be grouped together for a single delivery. You will only be changed one delivery fee (if relevant).
