Business Days: Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be processed the following business day.
2. Shipping Methods & Delivery Times
We offer multiple shipping options to meet your needs. Delivery times may vary depending on your location.

Please note: Delivery times are estimates and may vary due to weather, holidays, or other unexpected factors.
3. Shipping Fees
- Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the weight of your order and your delivery location.
4. Packaging
- All plants are carefully packed in protective materials to ensure safe delivery. We use eco-friendly packaging when possible to minimize waste.
- Larger plants may be shipped in separate boxes to prevent damage during transit.
- During cold weather under 40 F, the customer needs to purchase heat pack to prevent damage to the plants. The heat pack can be found in the catalogue.
5. Shipping Locations
We currently ship to the United States only
6. Tracking Your Order
Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking number via email. You can use this number to track your order through the carrier’s website.
7. Order Cancellations & Changes
- Orders can be canceled or changed within 12 hours of purchase. After 12 hours, we may not be able to make changes to the order.
- If you need to cancel or modify your order, please contact our customer service team as soon as possible at Thenodes1@gmail.com.
8. Delays & Lost Packages
While we strive to meet all delivery times, sometimes delays can occur due to weather, high shipping volumes, or other factors. In the rare case your package is lost or delayed, please contact our customer service team at Thenodes1@gmail.com. We will work with you and the carrier to resolve the issue.
9. Damaged or Missing Items
- If your plants arrive damaged or if there are any issues with your order, please reach out to us within 48 hours of receiving your package. We may request photos or videos of the damage to assist in resolving the issue.
- We are happy to issue a refund or send a replacement for damaged items, depending on the circumstances.
10. Returns & Refunds
Due to the nature of live plants, we generally do not accept returns. However, we stand by the quality of our products. If your plant arrives in less-than-ideal condition, please contact us immediately, and we will work to make it right.
