Shipping Guidelines

We usually ship within the continental U.S. via USPS PRIORITY MAIL. All orders depart on Tuesdays of each week unless holidays or other circumstances change the departure a day early or a day late. Orders should be delivered by the end of the same week.

The shipping boxes are up to 54" tall. Most 3 gallon bamboos fit nicely inside our tallest box. Tall culms are sometimes bent to fit into the box rather than cutting them. It is better to cut a culm above a node with foliage rather than having it break below the lowest node with foliage. Therefore, some plants will be trimmed to fit the box if necessary.

We ship up to two bamboo plants per box. No soil is removed so the bamboo should arrive unstressed and well-hydrated. The pot is plastic-wrapped and wired securely to the bottom of the box. Two plants in one box generally increase the shipping rate of that package by about 50% (a $22.00 shipping charge becomes $33.00).

The table below is just a general guideline - actual shipping costs will be calculated in the shopping basket for your order and can be reviewed before payment is made.
