Shipping Policy

At Happy Garden Nursery, we aim to deliver plants, seeds, and gardening products to our customers safely and efficiently. Please review this Shipping Policy before placing an order so you understand our shipping process, estimated delivery times, and order requirements.

🇺🇸 Shipping Area

• We currently ship to eligible destinations within the United States only.
• International shipping is not available at this time.
• Shipping availability may vary by product and destination.

Certain plants, seeds, or other planting materials may be subject to state or local agricultural restrictions. Customers are responsible for ensuring that ordered products may legally be shipped to and received at their destination.

📦 Order Fulfillment

Happy Garden Nursery offers a selection of plants and seeds that may be fulfilled through selected growers, nurseries, suppliers, or fulfillment partners.

• Orders may be shipped from different fulfillment locations.
• Items within the same order may arrive in separate packages.
• Shipping methods may vary depending on the product and fulfillment location.
• Live plants and seasonal products may require additional preparation before shipment.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure orders are prepared appropriately for shipment and handled according to the requirements of the products ordered.

🚚 Shipping Costs

⏱ Order Processing Time

Order processing begins after an order has been successfully placed and payment has been confirmed.

• Typical processing estimate: 3–7 business days.
• Orders are generally processed Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
• Processing times may vary depending on product availability, supplier schedules, and seasonal demand.

Seeds and other ready-to-ship products may be processed differently from live plants, roots, bulbs, or cuttings that require special preparation.

During peak gardening seasons, severe weather, or periods of unusually high order volume, processing may take longer than expected. Certain products may require additional preparation time before shipment.

Processing estimates are not guarantees. If an exceptional delay affects your order, please contact our support team for assistance.

🚛 Estimated Delivery Time

After an order has been shipped, delivery time depends on the shipping carrier, destination, shipping service, and other transportation conditions.

• Estimated transit time: Typically 1–10 business days after shipment.
• Estimated overall timeframe: Approximately 4–17 business days, combining typical processing and transit estimates.

These timeframes are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Actual delivery may be faster or slower depending on the circumstances of each shipment.

Delivery delays may occur because of:

• Carrier delays or service interruptions
• Severe weather or natural events
• Peak-season shipping volume
• Incorrect or incomplete shipping addresses
• Other circumstances outside our reasonable control

📍 Tracking Information

Tracking information will be provided when available for the shipping method used for your order.

• Tracking updates may take 1–3 business days to appear after shipment information is submitted.
• A status such as "Pre-Shipment" may mean that a shipping label has been created but the carrier has not yet recorded its first scan.
• Tracking information may not update continuously while a package is in transit.

If tracking shows that your package has been delivered but you cannot locate it, please check your mailbox, front porch, other delivery locations, and with household members or neighbors. You may also contact the carrier for additional delivery details.

In some cases, delivery scans may appear before a package is physically located. Please allow 1–3 additional days for the package to arrive before contacting us if circumstances permit.

📬 Shipping Address Accuracy

Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate shipping information at checkout, including the recipient's name, street address, apartment or unit number when applicable, city, state, and ZIP code.

• Please review your shipping address carefully before placing an order.
• Contact us as soon as possible if you notice an address error.
• Address changes cannot be guaranteed once an order has entered fulfillment or shipped.
• Additional shipping charges may apply if a package is returned and reshipment is requested.

Happy Garden Nursery cannot guarantee successful delivery when incorrect or incomplete address information has been provided.

🌿 Live Plants and Natural Products

Live plants, starter plants, roots, bulbs, and cuttings are natural products that may respond to transportation and changes in environmental conditions.

Depending on the product and transit conditions, customers may notice temporary wilting, minor leaf drop, or other signs of shipping stress after delivery.

• Unpack live plants promptly after arrival.
• Follow any care or acclimation instructions provided with the product.
• Allow plants an appropriate period to adjust to their new environment.
• Contact our support team if an item arrives significantly damaged or appears to have a serious issue.

Minor cosmetic changes do not necessarily mean a plant is defective. However, this notice does not limit any rights available to customers under applicable law or override our Return & Refund Policy.

⚠️ Lost, Delayed, or Damaged Packages

If your order is delayed, appears to be lost, or arrives damaged, please contact us so we can review the issue and explain the available next steps.

To help us investigate, please provide:

• Your order number
• The tracking number, if available
• A description of the issue
• Clear photographs of any shipping damage or affected products, when applicable

We will review reported shipping issues in accordance with our store policies, the circumstances of the order, and applicable consumer protection requirements.

A carrier's delivery scan does not automatically resolve every report of a missing package. Please contact us if you cannot locate a shipment marked as delivered.
