What’s happened?

Lifetime Grow Guarantee

Grow failed? It’s on us.

Our grow kits, liquid cultures, grain spawn, substrate, spore syringes and spore swabs are covered by our Lifetime Grow Guarantee. Email us your order number and a couple of photos and we’ll help you work out what happened and send a free replacement.

Changed your mind?

14 days to cancel

You can cancel your order for a full refund if you let us know within 14 days of receiving it. You then have a further 14 days to send the items back. Items need to be unopened and unused, and return postage is down to you unless the item was faulty or we sent the wrong thing.

Want to cancel before it’s been sent? Contact us as soon as possible, ideally the same day, and we’ll stop it going out.

Can’t be returned once opened

For hygiene and safety reasons we can’t take these back once the seal or packaging has been opened:

  • Spore syringes, spore swabs and liquid cultures
  • Sterile items such as needles, petri dishes, gloves, masks and wipes
Perishable and made to order

Grow kits, fruiting blocks, grain spawn and substrate can’t be returned just because you’ve changed your mind. They’re still covered by our Lifetime Grow Guarantee though.

Damaged, faulty or missing items

Let us know within 14 days of delivery and send photos where you can. We’ll send a replacement or refund you, whichever you’d prefer, at no cost to you. This doesn’t affect your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Equipment and electrical items

Incubators, LED lights, scales and flow hoods aren’t covered by the grow guarantee, but they are covered by your normal legal rights. Get in touch and we’ll help you troubleshoot first, as lots of problems turn out to be settings rather than faults. If it is faulty, we’ll repair, replace or refund it. We can’t cover misuse, a blown fuse or normal wear and tear.

Contamination

Spot contamination when a product arrives? Send us photos straight away and we’ll replace it. If it shows up later in your grow, the grow guarantee covers it, and we’ll help you work out how it got in, as it’s usually something in the environment that’s easy to fix next time. Our guide to spotting contamination is a good place to start.

Lost or misdelivered parcels

Not turned up 7 working days after dispatch, or the tracking says it’s gone somewhere it shouldn’t have? Contact us and we’ll chase the courier and send it again if it can’t be found. If tracking shows it reached your address and went missing from there, please report it to the courier too.
