Shipping Info
Time-sensitivity for shipping live plants, and the larger boxes required, makes shipping Japanese maples unlike other online purchases. WE SUGGEST READING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
Sales and shipping only available to customers with a Canadian shipping address (No P.O. Boxes). 1, 1XL, 1XXL, 2 and 2XL GALLON(BC/AB ONLY) SIZES ARE THE ONLY SIZES AVAILABLE FOR SHIPPING.
3 GALLON SPECIAL ORDER ONLY IN BC(CONTACT US FOR THESE). Larger container sizes are available for local, by-appointment purchase. We also have trees not always listed on website-inquire if looking for something.
We ship Canada-wide (except Territories) Canada Post Xpresspost. 2-4 days depending on location.
This not a perfect science, but we strive to safely fit as many trees as we can into the smallest package size possible. If we see that we can adjust the size of package(s) for your order and reduce your shipping cost, we will absolutely do this where possible.
ALSO, for best shipping estimates with mixed container sizes in an order WE RECOMMEND YOU EMAIL US.
FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US ABOUT ANY ORDER BEFORE ORDERING WITH YOUR QUESTIONS.
FOR 1 GALLON SIZES we use the following boxes and the amount of trees of the same size that can fit:
Small (36x8x8"): Fits two, 1 gallon trees. NOTE: We will be going back to our old sizes before May '24 to reduce shipping costs especially for our Central and Eastern Canada customers).

Large(48x10x10"): Fits three, 1 gallon XL trees or, four, 1 gallon trees.

Occasionally, trees may not fit into the package and have to be upsized to the next larger box. And sometimes, we can fit more trees than normal into a smaller package. We will inform you of this before completing your order. This may result in increased or decreased charges depending on the situation.
Orders go out Mondays and normally you will receive your trees the same week. If you don't please let us know about it. Stat holidays will delay our shipping schedule.
