Although we send all shipments Parcel Post, we have found 
that the Special Delivery service of the U.S. Mails is a better 
method for live plants and we strongly recommend it. If you wish 
this service, please add 45¢ to your order, or, in the case of 
increased special delivery rates, the equivalent of this. 
Air Mail is, of course, the most satisfactory method, but it is 
expenaiven usually 80¢ per pound and a two pound package 
would be a minimum shipment. Please estimate the amount of 
the air mail postage and add to your order. Up to three plants 
usually weigh 2 Ibs.; 4 to 15 plants - 2 to 10 Ibs.; and over 15 
plantsover 10 Ibs. 
We will ship by prepaid Railway Express on orders over $20. 
This is amore satisfactory method of shipping than parcel post. 
Packages are handled more carefully than in the mails and any 
claim for goods damaged in shipment are taken care of. If you 
want smaller orders of plants delivered by Railway Express, 
please tell us and we will send them Express Collect. 
We want you to receive your shipment in the best of condition 
and we take all possible precautions to ship healthy plants 
packed in such a way as to avoid any damage in transit. We 
have had so many customers tell us how perfect the plants 
look on arrival, that we are satisfied that our method of packing 
is hard to improve upon. We feel that our responsilibity is ended 
when we deliver your package to the carrier, But, as mistakes 
can happen, if on arrival your plants seem damaged because 
you believe there was some mistake made in packing (not dam- 
age due to mishandling or delay by the carrier) write us full 
details and we will be glad to make proper adjustment if we 
feel the fault was ours. Most damage i's caused by mishandling 
or delay in transit, and if your order was sent by Railway Ex- 
press (not Mail) your express agent will help you get an 
adjustment. |
