Shipping, returns and guarantee
We have not yet read Plant in a Box's policy pages, so we do not state its shipping areas, speed or guarantee. Before you pay, check at checkout:
- Which states it ships to (some plants cannot go to California, Arizona, Hawaii or Alaska, among others).
- When your order will ship, and whether it holds orders during very hot or cold weather.
- What happens if a plant arrives damaged: how many days you have to report it, whether photos are needed, and whether you get a replacement or refund.
How to buy smart from Plant in a Box
Buying houseplants online
- Compare by pot size (for example 4 in, 6 in, 10 in), not plant name: the same plant can differ several times in size and price.
- Order in mild weather where you can. Shipping in winter cold or summer heat causes most losses; some shops add heat packs or hold orders, so check at checkout.
- Open the box the day it arrives, photograph the plant and packaging, and report problems quickly; guarantees usually have a short window and often need photos.
- Keep a new plant away from your other plants for about two weeks and check leaf undersides for pests.
- Do not repot straight away. Let it settle in bright, indirect light for a couple of weeks first.
Sending a plant as a gift
- Check the delivery-date cutoff and whether the date is guaranteed or estimated.
- A potted plant lasts far longer than cut flowers; check whether the product is a plant or an arrangement.
- If the recipient has cats or dogs, check the plant first in our pet-safe checker.
- Choose an easy plant for someone new to plants and include the care basics.
