Carrier: We ship most orders via UPS ground shipping. Our commercial volume discount keeps shipping costs as low as possible. We charge you for the cost of shipping.

Water: While in transit it is important that there is enough moisture so we water thoroughly prior to shipping.

Boxing: All trees are shipped in a corrugated box.  We make sure there is enough space on each side to give the bonsai a chance to breathe.

Padding: Peanuts are added to the corrugated boxes.  This ensures each tree is secure and protected from the heat and cold.

Careful Packaging: Our order fulfillment team takes great care when packaging your orders. Since each order contains a unique assortment of products with varied shapes, sizes and weights, they package each order with the safety of the products and the most cost-effective manner of packaging in mind. 

LTL Shipments: On occasion the volume of your order warrants a pallet. In these cases we seek the best possible quote to get your shipment to you safely at the most reasonable price.

Federal Express: If Applicable

Using Your Own Shipper Number: We are happy to ship your orders using your UPS or Fedex shipper number. To arrange this, please indicate your shipper number during checkout.

A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS

We strive to keep shipping costs as low as possible for our customers while ensuring the safety of the merchandise during transit. With such a variety of products in all shapes, sizes, weights and levels of fragility, we unfortunately cannot make a general rule about what percentage of your order total shipping costs will comprise. However, here are a few guidelines for understanding shipping costs:

• Large items, even if they are lightweight, incur higher shipping costs due to the volume of the shipping box.
• Heavy items, even if they are small, incur higher shipping costs due to the weight of the shipping box.
• Fragile items often incur higher shipping costs, as additional packaging is required to ensure no damage to the item occurs.our text here...
