Questions

Questions we get asked

How is quality agreed and checked?

Grade, size, condition and packing are written into a specification before an order is confirmed. Product is checked against it at intake and again before dispatch, and the specification travels with the consignment so both sides are judging the delivery against the same document.

What is your minimum order?

It depends on the product and the season, and we would rather discuss it than publish a figure that turns away a good customer. Trial consignments are welcome — we prefer a small first order to a large one placed on trust neither side has earned yet.

How quickly will I get a quotation?

Enquiries are acknowledged within one working day. A quotation follows once the specification and delivery window are agreed; if a season affects what we can commit to, we will say so at that point rather than after you have ordered.

Can you supply against our own specification?

Yes, and we prefer it. Send your specification, your packing format and your acceptance criteria, and we will confirm what we can meet before quoting — including anything we cannot.
