Shipping Information
We use Federal Express for our standard shipping. For FEDEX shipments, a physical address must be provided.
Please refer to the FEDEX zone chart below, which estimates transit times from our Whately, MA facility to each state.
If your delivery address is in Alaska or Hawaii, your order will automatically be upgraded to 2-DAY shipping. That is the only ship method available to these states. Charges will be reflected in your order summary.
All plant orders shipping to CA, OR, WA, and HI, and blueberry plant orders to MI will be charged a $15.00 fee for phytosanitary inspection. This is in addition to ship charges, and a Phytosanitary Certificate is required to ship plants into these states.
Charges are based on the value of the order, and the method of shipment.
