Shipping policy
- Shipping to lower 48 US states only.
- All shipments are sent UPS (in some rare cases USPS) with a target transit time of 3-5 business days. For many addresses west of the Mississippi River, this means using UPS 3-Day Select, which costs slightly more.
- We usually ship trees Monday and Tuesday with orders generally going out in the order they were placed. We do not guarantee that your trees will ship out by any certain date unless we have personally spoken about it and made note of specific ship date. We are a small hobby business and we get orders sent out as quickly as possible. What we can guarantee is that we will take the most care possible to ensure that your trees arrive safely to you.
- Minimum shipping of $15.00 for eastern/midwest regions and $20.00 for western regions (except for seed only orders, which have lower minimums). This reflects the baseline effort and materials it takes to do selection, packing, boxing, and getting orders out the door.
- Accordingly, larger orders benefit from lower shipping cost per tree due to economies of scale associated with shipping 5+ or 10+ trees vs. a single tree or two.
