Shipping times vary based on the item ordered, the time of year, and your growing zone. Once any item ships, you'll get a tracking email sent right away to the email provided at the time of purchase.
The first step to better understand your possible ship times: LOOK AT YOUR ORDER CONFIRMATION. You'll see an estimated time of shipping by the product name. We show this information on the site as well - when you enter a zip code.
You may see "Ships in 7-10 Days (Weather Permitting)". This is the most active estimate. Meaning your order should ship within 10 days of order placement (Weather Permitting) - many times your order item(s) may ship sooner. As we are currently entering spring, so your order may not ship until temps begin to warm enough to where you are near/past your last frost date and 10-day weather forecasts look appropriate (depending on your location and where your plants are being grown). We grow/ship from all across the country and ship all across it as well - so, please know that we are monitoring weather (temps and adverse weather events) every single week to see what we can ship out SAFELY. We take into consideration the weather on the grow site, the projected path of transit and at the customer location. Please also know that we work off of a LIVE inventory. The moment you placed your order - the material ordered is instantly reserved for you and will be well-cared for by our plant pros until it can be shipped to and received safely by you - we aren't selling your plant to someone else.
"Weather Permitting" ?...
Nature Hills takes great care in shipping your items. When working with live plants, special considerations must be taken into account. In some cases, an item may be delayed due to weather conditions that include extreme heat, extreme cold and even natural disasters, or other conditions impacting the transit route the plant will be going through. Rest assured, we will ship your order as quickly as possible, and in a way to ensure that your items are delivered safely to your doorstep.
THE LAST THING WE WANT IS TO SHIP PLANTS THRU/INTO AN AREA THAT IS TOO HOT/COLD - THEREBY KILLING IT
"Can Nature Hills HOLD my order for me?"...
If you are not comfortable with shipping until a certain time for your specific area, you may inquire about having your order put on HOLD until a later date so that it may ship soon after when you feel better receiving it (weather permitting, of course). Simply use our customer service portal (customer-support.naturehills.com) to enter a ticket for a request such as this and we'll do our best to accommodate. You can also order over the phone at 402-934-8116 and ask for a HOLD to be put on your order right after placement.
