Placing Orders

By placing an order, you agree to purchase the material that is procured.

All plant material must be ordered by botanical name. Orders by common name or by photo only will not be accommodated.
Changes to orders after they have been placed are not guaranteed.
Tagging plant material constitutes an order and the material is considered sold to you. Removing tags without authorization from the sales office is not permitted.
Rejection, cancelation or changes to orders may result in restocking fees.
It is the responsibility of the account holder to provide a written list of approved buyers. Without this list, upon order or purchase, your account will be verified by other means such as email signature, company email, phone number, or address on file.

Requesting Estimates

Quoted pricing is guaranteed for 2 weeks.
Quoted availability is generally available for 2 weeks but is reliant on vendor stock which is subject to change and therefore not guaranteed.

Cancelations or Rejections

Any cancellation or rejection of material that has been assembled or reserved from in-stock material is subject to up to a 25% restocking fee.
Any cancellation or rejection of brokered material that is normally stocked is subject to up to a 50% restocking fee.
Any cancellation or rejection of special-ordered material that is not normally stocked is subject to up to a 100% restocking fee.
Rejection of pulled or ordered material due to quality or disease requires management’s approval to adjust fees.

Returns are accepted within 1 week from the date of purchase with proof of purchase.
All returns are subject to applicable restocking fee.
Returned material must be healthy, in sellable condition, undamaged, not planted, and in original containers.
The value of accepted returns is granted as credit to the account holder. Refunds are provided at the discretion of the accounts receivable manager and only via the payment method used to purchase.

Orders past 2 weeks may be restocked and are subject to applicable restocking fees.
