How will my plants arrive?

In our California delivery areas we deliver on our own fleet of trucks and vans, so your plants arrive unboxed and ready to go in the ground. Large trees are set down as close to your property as we can safely manage, usually your driveway; have a dolly and a helping hand ready for final placement. Everywhere else, and for smaller California orders, plants travel in our custom plant-safe packaging, built to keep them healthy and stable in transit.

Are there special considerations for large trees (25 gallon or 24" box)?

Yes. These trees are large, heavy, and require proper handling.

In California, they are delivered by our team using enclosed box trucks with liftgate support. We place them as close to your property as safely possible, usually in your driveway.

For final placement, we recommend having a dolly and additional help ready.

Can you help me select plants for my garden?

Yes! Email your plant list to sales@plantsexpress.com or call 888-444-1126 for recommendations.

Do you sell citrus trees?

Yes, though California regulations restrict delivery to certain areas. Contact us for availability.

Can I request plants not listed on your website?

Yes! Contact us about sourcing specific plants not found on our site.

Are there plants you can't ship to my state?

Yes. All 15 and 25 gallon plants, our flats, and soil travel by truck and are available only for delivery to eligible California addresses on orders of $299 or more.

Everything else — most 1 and 5 gallon plants — ships nationwide from $29.95. If something in your cart can't reach your address, we'll tell you before you pay.

Pricing, Returns & Support

Do you offer discounts for wholesale accounts?

Yes, please call our team to discuss.

Why isn't my coupon code working at checkout?

If you're experiencing difficulties with a coupon code, there could be several reasons:

  • Expiration: Some codes have specific time limits
  • Usage limits: Certain promotions can only be used once per customer
  • Minimum purchase: Some discounts require meeting a minimum order value.

For immediate assistance with your coupon code, please contact our customer service team with the code you're attempting to use.

What is the Plants Express Guarantee?

Our commitment to our customers is to deliver healthy, high quality plants. Occasionally we will fall short of this standard, usually due to damage while in transit. For your protection, we offer a 100% money back guarantee if plants arrive dead, unhealthy, or poor quality. In this instance, please notify us within 24 hours and include photos.

Can I cancel or change my order?

You can cancel within 24 hours of placing your order.

Email sales@plantsexpress.com with your order number in the subject line. After 24 hours a 20% restocking fee applies, and once an order is out for delivery or has shipped it can no longer be cancelled.

To add items, contact us promptly; we can often accommodate it, though extra items may arrive on a separate delivery.

Can you help me select plants for my yard?

Absolutely! Our plant experts are ready to assist.
Email your plant list to sales@plantsexpress.com or call 888-444-1126, and we'll help you build the perfect cart with appropriate recommendations.
