Pre-ordering

Shipping timing
We typically process and ship orders within 2-4 business days. Please note that during peak periods (Spring and Fall), processing times may be slightly longer. If there are any delays or issues with your order, we will notify you as soon as possible.
Shipping rates
We offer competitive rates and strive to keep our shipping fees as low as possible. These shipping costs are based on weight. The more bulbs you add to your shopping cart, the heavier the order usually becomes. Therefore the shipping costs increase with the weight.
