ATTENTION USA BIDDERS!

USDA Plant Inspectors inspect all live plants before they are shipped to insure you get healthy pest free plants and seeds.

We ship via USPS Mondays-Wednesday with Delivery confirmation. 

All plant materials are inspected and certified by USDA (Required by LAW) prior to export from Hawaii to the US Mainland. 

All items are delivered to USDA Inspection Station at Honolulu International airport. After Inspection, USDA releases and signs stamp for export Hawaii to the US Mainland. 

Only Domestic Shipping and Handling includes USDA Certification. We can ship certified live plants to the US only. International shipments are not eligible for USDA certification. 

WEATHER DELAYS:

If it is unsafe and TOO COLD/HOT at your location or at a airport transit hub, we will wait until we deem it SAFE to SHIP without notice. 

If you are impatient and want to assume the RISK of FROZEN or HEAT DAMAGED PLANTS, you can ask to RISK your payment! Please request release of liability via eBay messages. We will then ship promptly regardless of weather at your risk and expense.

This is why we can offer our

Guarantee of LIVE ARRIVAL for Domestic orders.

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS!

All International shipments are at Buyer's Risk. 

Please spend no more than you can lose!

For foreign customers, please check your laws concerning permitting and customs, additional shipping and handling costs may apply.

Please Note: International shipments are shipped with no documents (at no charge). We do ship Seeds Internationally worldwide.

Additional charge ($100US) for any Phytosanitary Certificate is not included in this offer. Please make request and then payment.

Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.

Proper Permits and Documents are the Buyer's responsibility. 

Please request any documents prior to shipping.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS 

is available only under these conditions!

All international orders are shipped at the BUYER’S RISK (shipped with or without documents) and no refunds or replacements are offered for Dead On Arrival, loss, confiscation, Customs Seizure, unanticipated charges, etc.

We accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for in-person pick-ups and cash-on-delivery  (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the mail. Message me if you want to send cash.

   Please only one PayPal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are NOT eligible for any discount. 

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 NOT eligible for any combined discount. Non-paying bidders will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay.

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 items)

My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection. Domestic S/H 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 is 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 us to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island.

This requirement takes my wife and I, 2-3 days 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.

Before you purchase

LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.

There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die. LIVE PLANTS are PERISHABLE, guaranteed not to live forever.

US orders ONLY are GUARANTEED LIVE ARRIVAL. All International orders are shipped at the BUYER'S RISK!

When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your responsibility to know how to care for the plant. Do some research before they arrive or seek experienced help.

After you Receive your Items

 Small plants need protection from many things, dry-out, wind and sun. They do well just in the garage or living room. They need good light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants). The small Shipping pots will dry-out quickly. Just sitting in a shallow tray of water works well until re-potted. The idea is to keep the plants from dehydrating.

Proper care is critical upon arrival. Re-potting voids any warranty. Be aware that when decide you should re-pot, plants are easily damaged with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill your plants). You can and should re-pot once received.

BROWN THUMB WARNING:

Live Arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to you.

Please Do NOT email me after a week after receiving and re-potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. 
All photo support must be as arrived in original condition when received (in the box and packed as delivered).

If you re-pot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. You should use good gardening skills and re-pot if desired but at buyer's risk and expense.

Plants are NOT GUARANTEED to SURVIVE after you begin Care! 

DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive.

If re-potted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant. 

NO REPLACEMENT or REFUND WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE RE-POTTED THE PLANT. 

IF you did NOT provide PROPER CARE, Please DO NOT EXPECT plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes.

Not every plant that I grow 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.

You are agreeing to these terms when you make this purchase from this listing.
