2008 International Ordering Information



Payment must accompany order. MasterCard and Visa are the preferred method of payment!
Also accepted are bank drafts or money orders, payable in U.S. funds. (Personal checks are NOT accepted.)

All "Import permits" required by your country must accompany your order.

Each order is inspected, just prior to shipping, by our Federal inspectors, and a Phytosanitary Certificate is issued.

We ship plants or leaves of african violets. All other types of plants will be sent in the form of plants, cuttings, tubers, or rhizomes, depending upon the requirements of your country.

Many countries require that the soil and/or roots be removed from plants prior to shipping. Because this is such a tedious and time consuming task, we charge $1.00 per plant for this service. We must conform to your country's regulations regarding this matter. Do not ask us to leave roots on the plants if your country requires them to be removed. Please list any special requirements mandated by your country.

All orders are sent by United States Post Office "Express Mail". Your order is guaranteed by the USPS to arrive in your country within 72 hours of shipment. Once they reach this point, we no longer have control over your package. We cannot be, nor will we be, responsible for any delays, or losses, due to your customs regulations or inspection requirements prior to being released to you.

If you have an e-mail address, we will be happy to send you an e-mail notification, the day your order is sent.

Sorry, monthly specials are only applicable to orders within the continental USA!
