International Shipping information
We ship plants anywhere, anytime, and can likely send you plants no matter where in the world you happen to live. We have been shipping internationally for 7 years with great success, and only few problems.
We provide two options of international shipping;
Non-paperwork shipment : Totally at customer's risk. Recommended for a small order.
Paperwork shipment : We provide a Phytosanitary Certificate written by export plant quarantine service (on behalf of Thailand Department of Agriculture). This is the basic document required for import plant material. The cost of it is $30.00 per shipment. We can provide this document and other necessary paperwork at no cost for order over $350 (not included shipping and relevant charges). Note that the proceeding usually takes 4-5 working days. If you place order earlier this week by 12 a.m. Friday, your order will be shipped next week, or the following week after that time. You can see currently expected shipping time on the Homepage.
