RETAIL TRADE FAQs

Although we have tried to cover everything on the website there are some Frequently Asked Questions we receive which we have answered below. If you can't find the answer you are looking for please email us trade@harrod.uk.com  or call 0333 400 1777.

• What is RETAIL TRADE?
  This is defined as any UK garden centre that wishes to stock Harrod Horticultural product; and any non-UK mail order company or garden centre around the world.

• What is the RETAIL TRADE discount?
  We have a standard retail trade discount based on no minimum order quantities. There are volume discount options and for exceptional order volumes we can discuss pricing in further detail. For the latest retail trade price list and brochure; please contact by email - trade@harrod.uk.com. We will need email verification that you are a retail business with your company registered number, VAT number and if relevant a website link.

• Is there a minimum order value or volume?
  No – there isn’t a minimum order value.

• Do you drop ship?
  We can deliver products direct to UK addresses; this is normal for us being a UK mail order retailer. It is a matter of applying a postage and packing charge to cover the costs. Internationally it is not economical for us to drop ship single product items as the cost can be more than the product value. Shipping internationally is an economies of scale situation; transport costs are not much more for ordering 10 items than it is for ordering 1 for example. That is unless the customer order value is high and makes it viable, for example we do have some international retailers that sell high price pointed products online whereby an order for a 10m L pergola makes sense to ship on its own.

• Can I have a credit account?
  After a 1st order has been paid and then shipped, we can offer retail trade customers a 30 day (nett) account option – contact us for more information.

• How do I place an order?
  Email trade@harrod.uk.com, call us on 0333 400 1777. To process your order we require product codes, quantities, invoice and delivery addresses, date required, a purchase order number and your carrier details (unless you want us to quote to fulfill the order.

  Within 48 hours we will advise you of when we expect your order to leave us; if you are arranging your own transport we will advise you of the pallet dimensions and weight so that you can obtain your own quotation.

  If the products are in stock, they can leave us within 1 week; if any items are out of stock will will advise at the point of receiving order and will forecast an expected “due” date which will be updated if required.

Parts are either boxed with foam protection inside, wrapped in ultra thick brown paper and taped or covered in extra thick polythene burn wrap.
