+
Where do you ship?
We ship within the contiguous United States, also known as the lower 48 states. We are not able to ship outside the contiguous United States.
+
Why can’t you ship a plant to my location?
Agricultural restrictions vary by state, plant, nursery location, and time of year. In some cases, regulations prevent a specific plant from being shipped to a particular state or region.
+
How are plants shipped?
When you place an order, we hand-pick the best-looking plants from the nursery or greenhouse and ship them directly to your door. Plants typically ship by FedEx or UPS, although another carrier may occasionally be used. We usually ship plants early in the week to reduce the chance of them sitting in a delivery truck over the weekend.
+
How are planters, decor, and gardening supplies shipped?
Unless otherwise stated on the product page, hard goods are typically shipped as soon as they are ready because weather usually does not affect them. This includes planters, garden tools, gift baskets, and other non-plant products. You will receive tracking information when the order ships. For some very large planter orders, the carrier may contact you to arrange delivery.
+
How long does it take for a plant order to ship?
Plant orders typically ship within 3 to 10 days, and sometimes sooner. Timing depends on the day of the week, the type of plant, the nursery location, weather, and growing conditions. We may hold a shipment to protect plants from extreme heat or cold.
+
Why might my plant shipment be delayed?
Our first priority is getting your plants to you healthy and ready to grow. During winter and early spring, we may wait until conditions are warm enough for planting or until the crop is ready. During extreme summer heat, we may delay shipping to protect the plants. Seasonal timing also depends on the nursery location and the weather the shipment will travel through.
+
How do plant pre-orders work?
Plants marked as pre-orders are reserved when you place the order and are charged at the time of purchase. Pre-ordered plants ship when growing and weather conditions are appropriate for your growing zone. You will receive a confirmation email with tracking information once the plants ship. If you want a different estimated ship week, contact us and we will try to accommodate your request. You may also cancel a pre-order for a full refund before it ships.
+
Can I request a different shipping date?
Yes, we will try to accommodate special shipping requests whenever possible. Contact us as soon as possible after ordering. Once an order has been processed or shipped, we may no longer be able to place a hold on it.
+

Plant Warranty & Arrival Guarantee
Do plants come with a warranty?
Yes. All plants are covered by our 3-day Arrival Guarantee. Starting January 1, 2025, most plants also include an extended warranty at no additional charge. Bushes, trees, and perennials generally include a 1-year warranty; annuals and houseplants include a 30-day warranty; and edible plants include either a 30-day or 1-year warranty as shown on the product page. Holiday plants and pre-potted plants are covered by the Arrival Guarantee.
+
What does the 3-day Arrival Guarantee cover?
If your plant arrives damaged, unhealthy, or incorrect, contact us within 3 days of delivery. We may ask for photos and may give the plant a little time to recover from shipping or transplant stress. If the plant was damaged during shipping or arrived unhealthy and a replacement is needed, we will reship it at no additional cost, including shipping.
+
How long is the plant warranty?
  • Bushes, Trees & Perennials: 1 year from the date the plant arrives.
  • Annuals & Houseplants: 30 days from the date the plant arrives.
  • Edible Plants: 30 days or 1 year, depending on the plant. The product page will show the warranty length.
  • Holiday Plants & Pre-Potted Plants: 3-day Arrival Guarantee.
+
When does the plant warranty start?
The warranty starts on the day the plant is delivered, not the day you place the order. For example, if you pre-order a plant in January and receive it April 1, the warranty begins April 1.
+
How do I file a warranty claim?
Email us at info@plantaddicts.com. Please include your order number, photos of the plant and packaging, and a description of the issue. This information helps us process your claim quickly.
+
Will I receive a replacement or a refund if my plant dies?
For claims covered by the Arrival Guarantee, we will place a replacement order when a replacement is needed, with no additional shipping charge. For claims covered by the 30-day or 1-year warranty, we issue a replacement code that can be used on any product on our website. The code is valid for 1 year from the date of the claim.
+
Do I have to pay shipping on a warranty replacement?
Not during the 3-day Arrival Guarantee period. If a replacement is approved under the Arrival Guarantee, replacement shipping is included. For claims under the 30-day or 1-year extended warranty, the customer is responsible for shipping costs.
+
Are there exclusions to the plant warranty?
Yes. Warranty coverage does not include plants grown outside their recommended growing zones, damage caused by improper care or neglect, damage related to a customer request to ship a pre-order earlier than recommended, or damage caused by extreme weather or acts of nature.
+
What if I bought my plant before January 1, 2025?
Plants purchased before January 1, 2025 did not automatically include the extended warranty. At that time, a separate warranty was available for purchase. If you purchased that warranty with your plant, the terms of the purchased warranty apply.
+

Returns & Order Changes
Do you accept returns for plants?
No preference returns are accepted for plants because plants are perishable and cannot be shipped back to the nursery. If there is a problem with your plant, including a dead plant, dried-out roots, damage beyond recovery, or an incorrect item, contact us within 3 days of delivery so we can help.
+
I received a damaged or incorrect plant. What should I do?
Please contact us within 3 days of delivery. If a plant was damaged beyond recovery during shipping, we will provide instructions for receiving a replacement. If you received the wrong plant, we will work with you to send the correct item as soon as possible or provide a refund.
+
Can I return a planter?
If the wrong planter was delivered or it arrived defective or damaged, contact us within 3 days. We will send a replacement at no cost or issue a refund if inventory is unavailable. For eligible preference returns, the customer is responsible for return shipping, the planter must be unused and in re-sellable condition, and it must be received within 180 days of delivery. A 20% restocking fee applies. Lechuza planters, custom-order planters, and planters with drainage holes drilled are not returnable. Please contact us before sending a planter back.
+
Can I return other non-plant products?
Eligible non-plant preference returns must be unused, in re-sellable condition, and received within 180 days of delivery. Customers are responsible for return shipping, and a 20% restocking fee may apply. If an item is defective, damaged, or incorrect, contact us within 3 days so we can arrange a replacement or refund. Email info@plantaddicts.com before returning an item.
+
How do I make changes to an order I’ve already placed?
Contact us as soon as possible. Changes must be made before the order is processed or shipped. Once an order has been picked or is being processed for shipment, we may no longer be able to modify it.
+
Can I cancel my order?
We will do our best to accommodate cancellation requests. Orders may be cancelled until they are printed by the warehouse. Once an order has been processed for shipping, cancellation is no longer possible. Depending on the order, a restocking fee may apply. Special-order products cannot be cancelled once the order has been placed.
+
How do I start a return?
Email info@plantaddicts.com before returning an item. We will confirm whether the item is eligible for return and provide the correct return instructions.
+

Post-Order Questions
I ordered. Why haven’t I received a confirmation or receipt?
First, check your junk or spam folder and any other email addresses you may have used at checkout. If you still cannot find the confirmation, contact us through chat, email info@plantaddicts.com, or call 833-577-0999.

+
How can I track my order?
You will receive tracking information by email for every shipment. Because items may ship from multiple nurseries or warehouses, one order can arrive in more than one package and on different days.
+
Only part of my order arrived. Should I be concerned?
Not necessarily. We ship from multiple locations, so different items may arrive separately. Check the tracking emails for each shipment. If you still believe something is missing, contact us with your order number and we will help locate the remaining items.
