Fast Dispatch
We pack and send twice daily (morning and afternoon), Monday to Friday. After dispatch, you’ll receive an email with tracking so you know exactly when your plants are en route.
We usually ship immediately unless there’s an urgent request or weather concerns. Heads-up: in extreme heat, long weekends, or when shipping to rural locations, we may delay dispatch to keep plants healthy. Just let us know if your order is time-sensitive.
Delivery Timeline

Rural areas: add 1–2 extra days

We work mainly with Aramex couriers, who then hand off to your Rural Postie (or equivalent) if needed.
Packing with Care
Your plants are packed in purpose-built, clearly marked boxes to reduce movement and retain moisture. With over 10 years of online plant-shipping experience, we’ve perfected packing methods that protect plants—even over multiple days in transit.
Couriers are chosen for their reliable handling, including in remote areas. Rural deliveries may take a bit longer, but our plants are tough and can handle it.
Our Delivery Guarantee
Almost every order arrives healthy and on time. But in the rare case your plants arrive damaged, we’ll make it right—no questions asked. Just get in touch with us within 48 hours of delivery and we will send replacements straight away.
