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.
So then you CAN do it, but it is the weight? And the £ that go with it?
I don't know if a person or company can supply, and be profitable in those
circumstances. I know that it costs me an arm and a leg.
Is there a deal you can do?
