    Does Plants Express have a guarantee?

    We offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee on everything we sell. If you are not satisfied with any of your plants or trees, at the time of delivery, you can choose to have them replaced. If you prefer, we will pick up the plants and provide you with a full refund (including any delivery charges). We require that you inspect your plants within 24 hours of receipt, and notify us immediately if something is unsatisfactory.

    After the initial 24 hour period post-delivery, all items eligible for return will have a 40% restocking fee applied to the initial order. Our team of plant experts will make that determination on a case-by-case basis. If approved, you will receive a store credit equal to the value of your order less the 40% restocking fee. You can contact us via phone or email if you have any concerns. For any return to be considered, it must be in its original container without ever having been removed.  If you have any questions, please contact our customer service team who are glad to assist.

    Please note plants within the dormancy period are not qualified for returns after the initial 24 hour reporting period. Deciduous plants are best suited to be planted during the period of October through May. As a result, we want to make sure they have enough time to come out of dormancy. 

    Do you recommend staking a tree after it arrives?

    For the first year of a tree’s life, we typically recommend staking. That way, the roots can establish and grow stronger in a new environment.

    What is my hardiness zone?

     

    At the top of this page, you will see a box labeled “Growing Zone”. Simply insert the zip code for your delivery address and this will show your Growing Zone.

    Why are the leaves on my tree or shrub turning yellow?

    Yellow leaves can be a sign of too much water usage. Check the drainage and make sure you do not water too much. Rain can also be a factor.

    How much does it cost to have my order delivered?

    All orders have a flat rate delivery fee of $29.95.

    Do you have additional resources for plant care and landscaping?

    All of your plants have plant care details listed along with other pertinent info. In addition, our Tree Blog provides additional resources for you to read and assist with all of your home landscaping needs.

    How do I know if my plants are toxic for my pet(s)?

    The ASPCA website is a great resource for this type of information. Once on their site, you can search for your plant using the botanical name, which will then display any necessary risks.
