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 Baz 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? Baz |
