Delivery and Returns

All Items being shipped to the UK mainland are free for orders over £75 (exclusions apply - see below)

Our team are committed to trying to offer you the fastest delivery possible. All of our stock UK based in our warehouse in Camberley, Surrey. In fact over 98% of our orders received Mon - Friday before 2.30pm are delivered next working day (mainland UK excluding Scottish Highlands).

We can also have your parcel delivered on a Saturday for your convenience (extra small charge applies) 

Our stock works on a rolling stock system. Once our stock levels reach a minimum level it is re-ordered which 98% of the time guarantees that we will have stock of every item. Unfortunately though, even though our minimum stock level is very high, if the Techmar team in Holland have an issue we can run out of certain items. If there is a problem with any of your order, our team will contact you very shortly after your order has been received.

Delivery Options

Free Delivery

Royal Mail

Small items such as bulbs and connectors are sent via Royal Mail. This not only helps keep the price down but also allows the items to be posted through your door as there is no signature required.

We use Royal Mail standard 2nd class service which is NOT tracked. Smaller orders may also be shipped via a Royal Mail Tracked service.

Changed your mind?

Garden Light Shop fully adheres to the distance selling regulations so if you've decided you don't quite like something or that its no longer required, you have 30 days to return an item from date of delivery. The item(s) must be in their original packaging and resalable condition, failure to do so may result in a reduced credit/refund. If you have opened an item, please make sure you have used minimal tape when resealing so not to damage the packaging. We also ask that you make sure the product box is protected throughout transit either in bubble wrap or an outer carton. Your return must be authorised before sending anything back to us, please call us or send us an email so we can provide a returns authorisation number. If you placed your online and created an account, you will be able to request a returns authorisation for any item on your order. We will then review and authorise. Any item returned outside the 30 day return period or not authorised by us may not be refunded.

We recommend that you return any items using a fully traceable courier or postal service, we cannot be help responsible and won't be able to credit anything that doesn't arrive with us. You may find it useful to go through a company called Interparcel or you can book a return through us. Please contact us for price to collect if you cannot arrange this yourself.  

If you refuse a delivery from our appointed courier, without prior authorisation from the Garden Light Shop in writing, we reserve the right to charge you any return charges that are levied against us by the courier. All couriers charge an aborted charge and a return to sender charge.  

Please allow 5-7 days for the refund to be processed.
