Shipping

We ship most orders via FedEx beginning around from late March to mid-April, according to planting zone. Our last regular shipping date is around April 15. Scionwood orders ship sometime around March 15, depending on weather and conditions. Only scionwood twigs and grafting rootstocks can be shipped at this time.
We do not ship at other times.

We strive to make our shipping charges fair, and it is a challenge. Since most packages we send with trees and shrubs are subject to expensive charges for oversized boxes and heavy weights, we have a category of small and light items that cost less to ship.

Maine customers now pay only a $10 flat-rate shipping fee.

Regular FedEx shipping charges to the continental US are a percentage of your adjusted total (after discounts, if any; before tax, if any) with a $22.50 minimum.

	$22.50	over $141, pay 16% of adjusted total

USPS Priority Mail shipping charges are for tree/shrub shipments to Alaska, and for anyone in the lower 48 who requires postal delivery, including PO Boxes.

Alaska and PO Boxes	Minimum	if your Adjusted Total is
	$25	over $125, pay 20% of adjusted total

Small & Light shipping: All your item numbers begin with L (see below for more detail).

Small & Light	Minimum	if your Adjusted Total is
	$10	over $63, pay 16% of adjusted total

If you order any other items in addition to these, you must pay the regular shipping charges.

If you require a specific ship date during our regular shipping time we charge an additional $15 to cover our extra handling costs.

We no longer offer late shipment.

Small & Light Shipping Charges

Because trees and shrubs are long, and the damp packing material around their roots is heavy, most plants we ship incur oversize-box charges from FedEx (hence the $22.50 minimum to the Lower 48.)

The items in the following list qualify for our Small & Light shipping. The minimum is lower, because they fit in a regular box. If your entire order consists only of items on this list (stock numbers beginning with L), the Small & Light rate applies.

All Hops

Some Groundcovers:

Wintergreen

All Garden Roots:

If you order any other “non-L” items in addition to these, you pay the regular shipping charges.
