Shipping costs

📅 Processing Times

We do our best to process orders within 10 working days and in any case no later than 30 days from the order date. Orders received by Saturday are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday, to minimize transit time and weather-related risks over the weekend.

During periods of extreme heat or cold, we reserve the right to suspend shipments. In such cases, the date will be agreed upon with the customer, or the shipment will be at the latter's risk.

The customer is responsible for choosing the shipping method by selecting the available options during checkout.

During winter, a heating pack can be added for only €3 to protect plants from cold during transport.
