Shipping:
To ensure the safe delivery of your plant, we take great care in securely wrapping it. Typically, if you choose Priority shipping, most orders reach their destinations within 1-3 business days after shipping, but there might be occasional delays beyond our control, as USPS cannot guarantee exact delivery times.
We do not offer international shipping, nor can we ship to the states of Alaska and Hawaii.
Replacements and refunds:
We take great pride in our packaging to ensure a safe delivery. Please be aware that receiving a plant with a few yellow or dead leaves, especially when shipping to extreme climates, is entirely normal as these are live plants and sometimes, they do get stressed with the shipping process. To minimize this stress, we prioritize shipping each plant within 1-3 days. Once the plant is settled in your home, it should start exhibiting new growth and thrive within a few weeks. In the rare event that your plant arrives damaged or in poor health, kindly notify us within 24 hours of USPS delivery and provide at least one image of the plant in its original packaging showing the issue. We may ask you to give the plant extra care and time to recover, or we may offer a replacement or refund. However, please note that we cannot take responsibility for plants if 24 hours have passed since USPS delivery. We are more than happy to assist with any questions you may have regarding plant care.
Cancellation Policy:
If you need to cancel your order, please message us before your order has shipped and we can cancel it for you. Once an order has been shipped, we are unable to cancel it.
