Payment
![hibisc1.gif (3165 bytes)](http://imagehost.vendio.com/preview/a/35021333/aview/65e5c65d.gif)
We accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only
acceptable for in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash
payment can not be sent through the mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED
SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN BE USED.
Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for discounts.
We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the
special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This can
only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met
before that MONDAY, your items will be shipped the following week and
lose the combined discount opportunity.
Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as
an unpaid item to eBay.

COMBINED SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS on a case by case
basis.
We will combine shipping for
auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.
This policy is good for auction
items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.
Payment must be received within 7 days of the auction ending.
Combined Discounts Won Auctions![](http://imagehost.vendio.com/preview/a/35021333/aview/volcano.gif)
For 2-3 winning auctions,
the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling charges.
For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined
discount is 30% of the total Shipping and Handling charges.

As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H
charges individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it
does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores'
combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection.
Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and
delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I can’t really change any of these.
If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as
each different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each
has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean
and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the
Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I,
a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we drive
around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport
Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if
you can understand.

LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
For this reason uninsurable.
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it.
Please have potting media and a container prepared for your plant
before it arrives. Shipping can be stressful on a plant, and any
mistakes that you make upon arrival can stress the plant further,
which is not good. Proper care is critical upon arrival. It is your
responsibility to know how to care for the plant.
Not every plant that I order through
the mail survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I
order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there
is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip
to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered
to your door. Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to
you.
Do NOT email me a week
after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. From
delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from delivery confirmation
to make any claim.
|
All claims need to be
supported with Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the
box if damaged, the packing materials and any documents. I am very
reasonable and understanding, anything can happen to small plants in
transit.
The expense to send it to
you is most of your payment. To send any replacement (s), I try to piggy
back with your next order.
Replacement is not an
option for CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA
CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S.- USDA and USPS fees are included in the actual
cost of shipping and Handling.
Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my
detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any reason really because I
will block you from any further purchases. I ship items the best and
least expensive option. These are coming from Hawaii. The only thing
inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!! I do ship all my items
promptly via best method--if you feel like the combined shipping fee is
wrong, please wait to be invoiced and check back with me-I value your
business and will work diligently to keep you satisfied. I am very
generous and reasonable with reasonable people, just ask.

Rare Palm Seeds
Fresh Highest Quality
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and
quantity advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost
or damaged during shipment will be replaced at seller's expense.
Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other
replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the
sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many
important related grower skills such as proper planting time,
seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers,
weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and
reasonable weather conditions during the growing period.
Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture
content, light intensity and contamination of planting media.
These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are
the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequentially, the seller
cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly
regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
