Delivery Times I will endeavour to have your order to you as soon as humanly possible. Orders are generally dispatched within the next couple of working days from here, all going to plan - but sometimes this just can't happen. Weather and seasonal demands are usually the only delays and I hope to have allowed for this in the maximum time frames given.
New Zealand customers should have their orders received within a maximum of 10 working days. If for some reason I am unable to deliver within these time frames then I will let you know. If you require your order delivered by a certain date (delayed dispatch), make sure you add a message via the Shopping Cart system when pacing your order or email me to make sure I can do this for you. ruth@ashtonglen.co.nz
Packaging of Plants
Your plants are not sent in pots; but bundled in newspaper & plastic and then packaged to freight. It is difficult to freight plants and I have used this method for the last 37 years. I found sending the pants in their pots wasn't that sucessful for me - plants tipped out of their pots and the box was open to the elements and unfortunately theft. My freighting method is not perfect and the plants will arrive a little bruised, but it is the better option for me and where I live. I am able to use NZ Post & Courier POst and your plants are delivered right to your door and not a courier depot miles from where you live – you will appreciate this point if you are rural. NZ Post is the fastest service available from here. So if you are ordering from me then please note the shipping method; this then will help you be prepared too to plant your plants as soon as possible on arrival.
