- What are the steps I need to follow to plant my products?
-
All orders include planting instructions. (For cards, they are printed on the back)
1. Soak the flower bombs/seed paper well in water first.
2. Plant the soaked flower bombs/seed paper under 1 cm of soil and keep them well watered and place it in a nice sunny spot.
3. Once you see some shoots, allow them to get stronger before planting outside in Spring or Autumn. (Germination happens typically in 2-3 weeks).
Please see 'Your Planting Guide' for more detailed information.
- How long does delivery usually take?
-
Occasionally, our delivery times may fluctuate slightly during busy periods. The delivery time for wholesale items is usually around 1-2 weeks, depending on design time & quantity. We potentially could offer quicker but it all depends on how quickly the order is placed and finalised by you.
- I haven't received my order. What should I do?
-
We always send out the order the day it is completed, so we very rarely have any issues but if the problem does occur, please allow an additional 24 hours before contacting us, as it may be delayed due to the post delays.
If no sign then contact us at hello@alakartcreations.co.uk and we will be happy to help.
- In the case that I did not receive my order, but it says that it has been delivered, what should I do?
-
Firstly please check with a neighbour or colleague, to see if they have taken the parcel for you. Check around your premises in case it has been left outside in a safe place.
Please let us know once you have checked all of the above, then we will look into the matter urgently as all of our deliveries are tracked.
