More remote interstate locations may experience longer delivery times. For further information, visit the Australia Post website.
What does delivery cost?
What does delivery cost?
We use Australia Post for our orders, with charges starting from $18.00. This cost covers picking and postage, as well as the use of packing materials to ensure your plants arrive in the best possible condition.
The overall cost may vary based on the postcode and the type of postage (Parcel Post or Express Post), along with the total weight of the order. This calculation is automatically determined by the website and is communicated at checkout.
Do you offer free shipping?
Do you offer free shipping?
No, we do not offer free shipping. We strive to maintain the affordability of our plants, and adding additional charges for shipping would be unfair to customers who shop locally.
This approach benefits all of our customers and simplifies our operations. We do provide the option to pick up your order directly from the nursery - select "LOCAL PICKUP - FREE" at checkout.
Why is Local Pickup free?
Why is Local Pickup free?
Local pickup is offered as a complimentary option to our customers as it helps us streamline our processes and eliminate shipping-related costs.
By choosing local pickup, you can enjoy the convenience of collecting your order directly from our retail centre located at 191 Dances Rd, Caboolture Qld, without incurring additional fees.
Returns and Refunds
What if my plants arrive damaged or in poor condition?
What if my plants arrive damaged or in poor condition?
Please check your order carefully on arrival. If your plants arrive damaged, in poor condition, or are not those you ordered, contact us within 2 business days of receipt by phone or email. Please provide multiple clear photographs of the affected plants from different angles.
Do not dispose of any plants until your claim has been fully resolved. Our team will review your photographs and contact you to confirm next steps - the resolution will depend on the nature and extent of the issue.
Please note that contacting us via social media is not a substitute for phone or email contact.
Can I return a plant if I change my mind?
Can I return a plant if I change my mind?
We do not accept returns or offer refunds for plants purchased in error or where you have changed your mind after purchase. Please read all product descriptions carefully before ordering, including care notes and sizing information.
What if I receive the wrong plant?
What if I receive the wrong plant?
If you receive a plant that is not the variety you ordered, please contact us and provide photographs.
We will arrange a prepaid return shipping label and send the correct plant once the original is received back, subject to availability. If the correct plant is not available, a full refund of the product value will be issued.
Will I get a refund if my plant doesn't survive in transit?
Will I get a refund if my plant doesn't survive in transit?
Where plants are confirmed as dead or unsalvageable on arrival due to postal delays, we will offer a replacement of the same or equivalent variety (subject to availability, dispatched the following Monday) or a full refund of the product value where equivalent stock is not available.
Some cosmetic damage such as minor leaf bruising or wilting is a normal part of the shipping process and does not indicate a plant is unhealthy.
Where we assess a plant as recoverable, we will provide care advice and extend the claim window by a further 14 days. If the plant does not recover within this period, contact us again with updated
photographs for reassessment.
What about flower damage in transit?
What about flower damage in transit?
Flowers are a natural, perishable part of a living plant and may be affected during transit - vibration, temperature changes, and handling can cause blooms to drop or deteriorate. This does not constitute a fault with the plant.
You are purchasing the plant itself, not any flowers it may be carrying at the time of dispatch. The health of the plant on arrival is the basis for any return or refund consideration, not the condition of the flowers. A plant that arrives with damaged or dropped blooms but is otherwise healthy is not eligible for a return or refund.
Our Plants
Will my plant be in flower?
Will my plant be in flower?
Almost certainly not, and that is by design. When you purchase from us, you are buying a healthy, established plant of a known variety. Most of our plants are not in flower at the time of sale, because plants travel well in transit but flowers do not - shipping a plant in bloom risks damaging the blooms.
Occasionally, a plant will be in flower when your order is packed, and if so that's a bonus - but the flower is not what you're purchasing, and we can't guarantee it will survive the journey. What we can guarantee is that the plant itself will arrive healthy and will flower again in its own time.
We do also occasionally list flowering orchids specifically in our Flowering Orchids section when we have stock available at the time of listing.
Do you sell Monkey/Monkey Face Orchids?
Do you sell Monkey/Monkey Face Orchids?
No, we do not sell Monkey/Monkey Face Orchids.
Monkey orchids are native to the cloud forests of Ecuador and Peru, thriving at elevations of 1,000-2,000 metres. With Caboolture sitting at just 22 metres above sea level, growing them successfully at commercial volumes would require a specialised glasshouse setup. We prefer to focus on genera that thrive in our local conditions and will flourish when they reach your home.
