3) Plants are are not indestructible and are living, perishable items. I choose only the healthiest plants for shipping and I pack them well, but sometimes things happen during shipping that are beyond my control. Once a package leaves my hands, I am no longer responsible for poor handling, extremes in temperature, shipping delays, etc. The majority of the plants I sell arrive in good condition, but shipping live plants is always risky.
