We're looking for a reliable courier who would deliver plants within
the EU. Many refuse to handle plants because of all the risks involved
with damage or delay. If anyone happens to know of such a company I'd
be very glad to hear of it. will get
emails to me.

Well I get plants from T&M, Parkers and Marshalls sometimes,(not very
often) and they use a variety of couriers. It works for them as it surely
would for you.
You can ring Parkers and find out who they use, they are the most helpful
IME.
They all deliver within the EU as far as I know. Parkers and their couriers
do, I know that much. I have sent my daughter a few plants to her in Porto.
Mainly miniature rose. They remind her of home(England, not the
adress/home)

Hope this helps, Sacha

Thanks Baz. I'll ask Parkers about it. It may depend on size though -
cue awful jokes! We send our plants out at 1m tall at the highest and
rarely less than 45cm, which may have a bearing on what the couriers
take/charge. Weight certainly does and at present we stick at 1m
height, otherwise the price goes up steeply.
