Procedures

Most orders are based on producing enough high quality seedlings from a calculated amount of seed needed to establish a given planting programme. In such cases, it is requested that the order be placed stating: species, provenance, area to be established, spacing and purpose of the project together with as much relevant site information as possible. With this information we can determine the exact seed requirements.

Customers are requested to place their orders in writing as early in the year as possible to assist seed procurement planning. Orders should be submitted by fax or e-mail. On receipt of an order the customer is notified of seed availability and costs through a pro forma invoice. Once payment is received (cheque, L.C., bank deposit or transference) the order is processed. In some cases we give credit facilities to our clients on request

    Despatch
Despatch of seed will be carried out in accordance with the buyers wishes. This may either be: F.O.B. (Free on Board), C&F (Cost and Freight), C.I.F. (Costs Insurance Freight), Airmail, DHL courier. Please note that the ownership and responsibility passes to the purchaser once goods have been handed to the designated carrier.

     Prices
In the species list you will not find any prices. Because prices depend on quantity of the order, way of transport, fluctuation of the dollar and the availability of seed we prefer to give you an up-to-date, tailor-made quotation in US dollar (or Euro from 2001).

    Payment
Advance payment is required. Pro forma invoices will be sent to customers on confirmation of the order to assist them affecting payment. Payment can be made by cheque, bank transferance, letter of credit, cash or deposit to our bank account number.
