Freight and Pick Up
I will hold orders until a suitable time, for example the beginning of a week, to avoid weekends and public holidays - to keep plants in the best possible condition.
Note that rural deliveries incur a surcharge of $5.70 per order.
It is expected that 9 plants can be squeezed into a wine box safely. Some plants are larger and may require additional shipping. Additional plants may require a larger box. In both cases I will notify you of the extra charges. I can cover some overruns. Please enquire for large quantities.
Freight within the South Island (excluding the Chathams) will be:
$12.50 including GST and packaging. This is expected to be a one day service, but frequently isn't.
The North Island (and Chathams) will be:
$23.00 including GST and packaging. Maximum 5kg or usually 9 of the smaller plants. This is expected to be a three day service.
NOTE If 5kg is exceeded, the postage jumps to two labels or double the cost. If a plant is in a larger pot they are 3 or 4x the weight.
Should you wish to expedite shipping to the North Island, (so your plants arrive in better condition), there is an extra charge, $47 is the minimum amount (for a 5kg box). If you require this service, please select the rate for 10kg and also add a note to this effect on your order. If you are confused please email.
If the wrong shipping rate is selected, products will not be shipped. An invoice showing correct shipping will be sent for you. If you approve, pay this amount through the website on receipt of the invoice. Refunds can be given if additional charges will not be paid. This includes any rural surcharges due.
There is a minimum spend of $45 to cover the time involved in selecting, packing and posting orders.
New Zealand Post is our chosen freight company.
To pick your order up from the nursery, please email and arrange a suitable time for both parties.
