GENERAL
How will my plant or tree arrive?
The majority of our artificial plants and trees come cemented in a standard black round carriage pot. This is generally 15cm by 15cm although for taller trees it can be bigger - maybe 20cm by 20cm. They are purely a means to give the product some weight and a basic means to stand up, allowing for you to plant the tree complete in the carriage pot in a more decorative planter of your choice. This can then be filled with sand, soil, gravel and topped off with a decorative topping like coloured pebbles. We sell a wide variety of planters and topping to help you complete your display. Some plants and smaller items come with no pot at all and just a stem. We try to mention this wherever possible. This will simply push into your soil or oasis foam. Most items are shipped in cardboard boxes and will require minimal dressing and positioning of the foliage once unpacked. Most trees will arrive with the branches pointing upwards to ease transportation and reduce packaging size - please don't be alarmed if your 6ft tree looks nearer 7ft in the box etc - this will be rectified once unpacked and the branches are pulled down to a natural shape.
Do you do trade prices?
We are retailers so we cannot offer trade prices. We are happy to look at offering discounts based on order quantity/value and repeat custom for genuine businesses who wish to set up an account with us. We would require proof of your business and a reference along with an e-mail of a sample order for us to quote on.
Do you offer discounts?
We have many Special Offers throughout our website already, often for buying by the box or for products which we are holding too much stock of that we want to promote sales of. We are unable to give further discounts on these already discounted items unless large quantities are required. On products not currently on Special Offer we may be able to offer discounts for bulk buys dependant on your total order value, the products chosen and your preffered payment method etc. We won't be offended if you ask but please don't be offended if we decline.
How can I pay for my order?
When placing an order our website will automatically take you to a payment screen to complete your order. This will give advice on how to pay. You have an option of paying with all major Credit or Debit Cards (including Amex/American Express) using our secure payment provider or 'PayPal' (even if you don't already have a 'PayPal' Account). These are both also secure, trusted and Worldwide recognised organisations who safely process card payments on our behalf within our secure website. Or you can send a Cheque payable to 'Just Artificial Limited' or even pay Postal Order. If you visit our Showroom, you are also able to pay by any of the above methods or Cash. As we tend not to keep cash on the premises please try to have the correct amount or readily available change - Thank you!
What are your plants, trees and flowers made of?
The products are made out of different materials - silks, polyester, plastics, wood etc to name a few. We try to put on the individual item the material the product is made from. If there is a product which doesn't have the details, please drop us an e-mail, we can e-mail you back the information, at the same we will be able to add the info to our website.
Are any of your products fire retardant?
Yes, any item that is Fire Retardant (FR) is marked FR or Inherently Fire Retardant (IFR) in the product details. All such products should be searchable under our Fire Retardant section which can be found in the drop down menu on the left, at the bottom under More (a-z). Inherently Fire Retardant means the treatment is done during manufacture so it is within the material and will not wash out or need re-treating. All are done to BS5852 and copy certificates are available on request. For an additional cost we may be able to arrange for any other products be be treated after manufacture, however this treatment would wash off with liquids and possibly need re-coating from time to time.
Does Just Artificial offer a hiring service?
Unfortunately we can no longer offer this service, sorry.
Can you send samples of your artificial plants to me?
We are able to send samples of leaves and flowers, only if we have slightly damaged items, as we don't want to de-face any products. If you want to look at some flowers, we are happy for you to place an order and return any that are not what you are looking for.
I live outside of the UK, can I make an order?
Yes. We accept orders from all over the world. We would ask you email the details of the items you are interested in and the delivery address. We would then contact different courier companies to see what the delivery cost would be. We would then contact you to advise you on the cost for you to decide if you want to continue with the order.
Please note: currently due to Insurance Restrictions we can sell to the USA and Canada but we cannot ship items to any USA or Canadian addresses, please contact us for more info if you was looking for delivery to USA or Canada. We can still accept orders from the USA and Canada to be shipped elsewhere in the World though.
Are your products suitable for Outdoor & Exterior use and do you offer any guarantees?
Through our years of experience we have found that a high majority of our products can be used outdoors, whilst still offering good performance and value for money yet still needing little or no maintenance. However please note the majority of artificial plants, trees, silk flowers, ivy trails and all related products are not specifically designed for outdoor use (unless stated) - wherever you choose to buy them from, no matter what another company may tell you. We believe in being transparently honest from the start with our customers, in the hope this helps build on relationships and retains future business. Where we have products we know (through trials and customer feedback) that have performed well outside we have added them to our Outdoor & Exterior section. We also offer a great range of products that are more suited for outdoor use - these too are in our Outdoor & Exterior section. Unfortunately the length of time that any of our products would last is not something we could guarantee or anyone could promise as there are many factors - such as the extremes of weather the products are subjected to or length of time of direct sunlight, especially if they are behind glass or windows which can amplify the suns UV rays and reduce the time before products can begin to fade over time. We can offer on selected products to apply a special UV resistant spray coating for a small additional charge, which will prolong their lifespan and durability under more demanding circumstances ie. in prolonged UV rays and sunlight. We like to be clear and honest to help our customers make an informed decision, if you'd like in depth information on this please email us for further details.

WHY ARTIFICIAL?
Why should I choose artificial plants?
Artificial Plants have so many advantages such as; no watering, no deadheading, no insects or bugs, all year lifelike flowering, colour and fruit, no pollen for allergy sufferers. Our products are made using the latest advances in manufacturing making it hard to tell real from artificial (gone are the days of bright green plastic looking leaves and fabric looking flowers, evergreen, no sap or poisonous berry hazards for children/pets, no restrictions on positioning - dark corners or near electrical equipment need no longer be a problem (no watering means no risk to electrical equipment). Buy ready grown at a fixed size - no waiting to grow or worry of overgrowing. Extremely low maintenance (we recommend an occasional dust). Artificial Plants create an instant feature. They are virtually hassle free. Why artificial? Why not...! You'll be amazed.

PRODUCTS
How will my plant or tree arrive?
The majority of our artificial plants and trees come cemented in a standard black round carriage pot. This is generally 15cm by 15cm although for taller trees it can be bigger - maybe 20cm by 20cm. They are purely a means to give the product some weight and a basic means to stand up, allowing for you to plant the tree complete in the carriage pot in a more decorative planter of your choice. This can then be filled with sand, soil, gravel and topped off with a decorative topping like coloured pebbles. We sell a wide variety of planters and topping to help you complete your display. Some plants and smaller items come with no pot at all and just a stem. We try to mention this wherever possible. This will simply push into your soil or oasis foam. Most items are shipped in cardboard boxes and will require minimal dressing and positioning of the foliage once unpacked. Most trees will arrive with the branches pointing upwards to ease transportation and reduce packaging size - please don't be alarmed if your 6ft tree looks nearer 7ft in the box etc - this will be rectified once unpacked and the branches are pulled down to a natural shape.
What are your plants, trees and flowers made of?
The products are made out of different materials - silks, polyester, plastics, wood etc to name a few. We try to put on the individual item the material the product is made from. If there is a product which doesn't have the details, please drop us an e-mail, we can e-mail you back the information, at the same we will be able to add the info to our website.
Are any of your products fire retardant?
Yes, any item that is Fire Retardant (FR) is marked FR or Inherently Fire Retardant (IFR) in the product details. All such products should be searchable under our Fire Retardant section which can be found in the drop down menu on the left, at the bottom under More (a-z). Inherently Fire Retardant means the treatment is done during manufacture so it is within the material and will not wash out or need re-treating. All are done to BS5852 and copy certificates are available on request. For an additional cost we may be able to arrange for any other products be be treated after manufacture, however this treatment would wash off with liquids and possibly need re-coating from time to time.
Can you send samples of your artificial plants to me?
We are able to send samples of leaves and flowers, only if we have slightly damaged items, as we don't want to de-face any products. If you want to look at some flowers, we are happy for you to place an order and return any that are not what you are looking for.
When a product has a stem can the stem be cut, trimmed down or bent?
Yes, all our stemmed flowers could be snipped or cut down to your preferred size to suit your vase or display - the only exception is some of our flowers have sealed watertight stems (if so this should be stated in the product description/features) and whilst these still can be cut down they will no longer be water tight - so over time if you put them in real water/a liquid the water may go discoloured as the exposed inner metal stem begins to corrode. We cannot accept any items back where they have been cut ot trimmed.
The stems can generally be bent too and the majority have metal wire inside the stems that you cannot see so that they will stay in your desired position. Usually these can be straightened back out again at a later date although some stems do this easier than others.
Why has a product been discontinued?
Products can sometimes get to the end of their run and will only be re-run if there is high enough demand. Some seasonal items, trends and fashion can all play a part in the life span of a product. If we can no longer obtain a certain product and we have no stock left we will mark it as discontinued. Where possible we will suggest a link to a replacement or a similar product.
Why do you show discontinued products on your website when I can't buy them?
We keep any discontinued items on our site mainly for reference and information purposes. For example if you ordered a product from us 2 years ago and you came to buy another, yet it was discontinued, at least you could find it and possibly we will have suggested the replacement or a similar item. If a customer is looking for a bulk buy, say for marketing purposes and has found an ideal product, yet it is discontinued there may be a chance we can order a bespoke run especially. These kind of orders do need a good 3 months plus to allow for manufacture and shipping along with a sufficient quantity. See our other FAQ's for details or contact us.
I want an item that you don't sell - can you source new products for me or can I get something made especially for me?
Yes, it is possible - please e-mail or telephone us with your requirements. We can source many products not on our website (sometimes within days) and cannot list them all. We are happy to make enquiries on avaialability but we cannot order small quantities of an item, so you would need to be looking for quite a few or it would have to be something we think would be worth us stocking and running for the future. For especially made products or to re-run discontinued products please be aware that you would need to be ordering a significant quantity, be able to wait at least 3 months for manufacture and shipping, be able to pay up front and agree to purchase in the knowledge that such bespoke, tailor made custom orders are not returnable or refundable from the point of order.

I need Fire Retardant products - do you sell any and to what standard are they treated?
Yes we do - Just Artificial have an exclusive range of Inherently Fire Retardant (IFR) products. These products have been tested by numerous fire departments worldwide and we have our own B.S.certificates (BS 5852). With Inherently Fire Retardant foliage you get consistent cover even on Pvc parts, this is because it is part of the manufacturing process. The protection is not sprayed or dipped into fire retardant chemicals and as a result will not leave an oily film which attracts dust or washes off. There is also no re-proofing required. With large scale commercial projects, it is factors like these that make all the difference, and give you peace of mind.
Are your products suitable for Outdoor & Exterior use and do you offer any guarantees?
Through our years of experience we have found that a high majority of our products can be used outdoors, whilst still offering good performance and value for money yet still needing little or no maintenance. However please note the majority of artificial plants, trees, silk flowers, ivy trails and all related products are not specifically designed for outdoor use (unless stated) - wherever you choose to buy them from, no matter what another company may tell you. We believe in being transparently honest from the start with our customers, in the hope this helps build on relationships and retains future business. Where we have products we know (through trials and customer feedback) that have performed well outside we have added them to our Outdoor & Exterior section. We also offer a great range of products that are more suited for outdoor use - these too are in our Outdoor & Exterior section. Unfortunately the length of time that any of our products would last is not something we could guarantee or anyone could promise as there are many factors - such as the extremes of weather the products are subjected to or length of time of direct sunlight, especially if they are behind glass or windows which can amplify the suns UV rays and reduce the time before products can begin to fade over time. We can offer on selected products to apply a special UV resistant spray coating for a small additional charge, which will prolong their lifespan and durability under more demanding circumstances ie. in prolonged UV rays and sunlight. We like to be clear and honest to help our customers make an informed decision, if you'd like in depth information on this please email us for further details.
