Winter Protection Season
We recommend adding Winter Plant Shipping Protection to orders shipping November through April to destinations where daytime temperatures regularly fall below 50°F. This protection window ensures your plants remain safe during the unpredictable temperature fluctuations common during transitional seasons and throughout winter's coldest months.
Not sure if you need protection? Check your local forecast and consider adding protection if temperatures are expected to dip near or below 50°F during your shipment's transit window. When in doubt, protection provides invaluable peace of mind for a small investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need Winter Plant Shipping Protection?
We recommend adding protection if daytime temperatures at your delivery location are forecasted to drop below 50°F during your shipment's transit period (typically 1-5 days depending on shipping method). If you're ordering between November and April, or if you live in a region experiencing unseasonably cold weather, protection is highly recommended.
What happens if I don't add protection and my plants arrive damaged?
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee plants shipped without Winter Protection during cold weather. While we always package plants carefully, cold damage during transit is beyond our control without the enhanced protection measures. Adding protection ensures you're fully covered under our arrival guarantee.
How long do the heat packs stay warm?
Our professional-grade heat packs provide consistent warmth for 72+ hours, which covers even extended transit times during the busiest shipping periods. We select heat pack quantities based on your location's forecast to ensure protection throughout your package's entire journey.
What if temperatures drop below 0°F at my location?
When extreme cold threatens, we prioritize your plants' safety by temporarily holding your shipment until temperatures improve to safer levels. We'll contact you immediately to discuss timing and ensure you're informed. Once conditions allow, we ship with maximum protection measures including multiple heat packs and thermal insulation.
Is the protection guarantee really "no questions asked"?
Absolutely! If your plants arrive with cold-related damage despite our protection measures, simply contact us within 24 hours of delivery with photos. We'll immediately offer you a replacement plant or full refund, your choice. Our guarantee is straightforward, comprehensive, and honored without complicated requirements or fine print.
Can I add protection after placing my order?
It's best to add Winter Protection when placing your order to ensure we can properly prepare your shipment. However, if you've recently placed an order and weather conditions have changed, contact us immediately. If your order hasn't shipped yet, we can often add protection retroactively.
Do I need protection for every plant in my order?
We offer Winter Plant Shipping Protection in three convenient sizes: 1-2 plants, 3-6 plants, and 7-12 plants. Simply select the option that matches your order size, and all plants in your shipment will receive comprehensive protection measures, heat packs, and coverage under our guarantee.
