If your order consists of multiple items, all items may not be delivered at the same time. Delivery must be accepted as items become available.
Custom Large Orders for Shipping Considerations
When we ship custom large topiaries or live trees, we must put them on a pallet or crate them. We typically do not know the details of shipping your order until it is built. We can provide an estimated quote for pallet, making a crate and shipping costs, but the real cost of shipping is known when we are ready to ship. Thus, shipping is just a quote on the shopping cart.
Also, if you need to use a tail gate lift to unload the crate or pallet at the destination, this is an additional charge we are imposed by the shippers.
We have found shipping to be cheaper if we make the topiary in smaller pieces and you would need to assemble the topiary upon arrival and typically do not need an automated tail gate lift to unload the pallet or crate as the topiary would ship in standard shipping boxes to the destination.
Applicable fees for shipping a large over sized custom topiary is the cost to make the crate or slate to fit on a pallet or fee to take an existing pallet to hold the trees upright for shipping, plus the shipping cost and optional tail gate lift.
Below is an example of a crated horse topiary to ship as a whole piece.
Freight Delivery for Live Plants or Trees Returns
A 25% restocking fee will be charged for plants or trees returned in live ‘good’ condition with authorization, within two weeks of receipt. Customer is responsible for shpping product back to our warehouse if product is in good condition.
By accepting nursery stock or custom made product such as a topiary or preserved tree, customer accepts seller’s terms and conditions of sale, which will constitute an entire agreement between buyer and seller. Shipping fees are non-refundable.
Damaged Delivery or Delivery Verification
To guarantee shipping from damage, we kindly ask that you inspect the Topiary Tree or Topiary Art Form upon arrival from UPS or trunk line. If the shippers do not allow you to inspect the Topiary Tree or Topiary Art Form or Planter where you open the box and look at it for damage, refuse the shipment. If you do not refuse shipment from shipping damage, you are responsible for full payment. Sending the order back to us will allow shipping damages with financial responsibility back to the shipper, not the customer. Be sure to list the damage you find on the bill of lading with a valid description of defect, signature and date.
