At Friends Rosery, we deal with live plants and we are growers, not traders. We are dependent on several variables which affect our day-to-day operations which are out of our control, for example weather and shipping.

Majority of the plants, especially roses are harvested few days after the order is received and is dependent on weather conditions which could shift the schedule by a few days.

The seller is not responsible for any economic loss, loss of profit, any indirect third-party loss due to any reason including failure of shipment to meet estimated delivery time.

Checkout:

During checkout, please specify if substitutes are allowed. On rare occasions and unforeseen circumstances, it is possible that the variety you ordered is not available at the time of harvesting, which is why we have provided an option during checkout to specify if substitutes are allowed. While being out of the field to harvest plants, it’s not feasible for us to be contacting the customer to identify alternatives and appreciate your understanding.

Also, please specify key landmarks in the landmark field during checkout. This helps shipping team to deliver the package to correct location and in a timely manner.

Please, make sure that the correct shipping location is specified. It is out of our hands to get shipping details updated after order is received and definitely not possible after dispatch. In such circumstances, you as the customer will solely be liable for order cost. If order is in processing state, please contact us at the earliest and we will try to update the shipping location.

Shipping and Handling:

Majority of the orders, especially roses will be dispatched on Monday or Tuesday to minimize delays, and so that package can reach you by the weekend. Cutoff for this shipment is Saturday night. Orders received on Sunday, will most likely be dispatched, not on coming Monday/Tuesday but the following week (8-9 days later). We try to ensure that the package is in transit during weekdays only and if there is a long holiday coming up, we might tweak the shipment by a few days. Also, on rare occasions it can take us up to 2 weeks before we get to harvesting the plants from our field.

We utilize majority of the shipping companies including DTDC, Delhivery. Blue Dart, DHL, XpressBee, etc and are always looking to get you the shipment in fastest period of time. If you have a preference on shipping company, please specify in the remarks/comment section during checkout.

Our team puts in a lot of effort to ensure sound packaging and for the plants to endure transit.

Return Policy:

We do not accept any returns as we provide live plants and it is not possible for them to endure the shipment time and handling for both directions on top of the shock they have endured from uprooting and packaging.

Also, no returns accepted for local pickups.
