As a special service to our customers, for delivery of certain rare plant goods, we will try to accommodate your shipping date request with specific arrival date. Please make to have someone available at home when the plants are delivered to your address. If no one is present, the package will be left at the door. In case of inclement weathers, we might not be shipped plants as previously scheduled. In that situation, we will send you or the intended recipient a notification.
