Based on our shipping and handling experiences, if you like to improve the overall delivery quality of your plant investments, we would recommend you considering upgrading to UPS which seems to be our preferred method of delivery.

UPS are reliable for the most part but they no longer offer full guarantee time of arrival based on services employed. In our experience, nearly all of our package arrival on time with exception of severe snowstorm or unusual circumstances. We are happy with the UPS service offering.

We have a variety of UPS service upgrade available:

1. UPS Ground Upgrade – typically deliver anywhere in US between 2 to 5 business days. They do not ship over weekend - +$5

2. UPS 3 days Upgrade – 3 business days arrival - +$10

3. UPS 2 days Upgrade – 2 business days arrival - +$20

4. UPS Express Upgrade – Next Day Arrival - +$38


In our opinion, this upgrade option is very good to protect your valuable plant investment. For ultra rare specimen, we highly recommend it as that would create the least amount of stress for the plant. Those who utilize it truly enjoy the timeliness of our services and were thrilled to find their plants arriving in stellar conditions.

Do consider upgrade when your region is projected to have extreme cold or extreme hot weather. We try to avoid all our shipment to spend its weekend at the delivery facility at all time.
