Cold/Hot Weather Shipping

We are located in the Pacific Northwest where our weather is typically mild year round, therefore, shipping from our location is rarely an issue. However, temperatures in your area can present issues under certain circumstances. 

 

🧊 Cold Weather Shipping Info 🧊 

Most aquarium plants are quite resilient to cool temps, however, temps near freezing and colder can present issues.

If low temperatures in your area are between 35F and 45F please consider adding a heat pack. If low temps are dipping below 35F consider postponing your order until there is a warmer stretch of weather. With that said the main thing you will want to do when ordering during cold weather is to follow the tracking of your order closely. Plan to have someone available to bring your package inside as soon as it is delivered. This is good practice regardless of temperatures but becomes extra important during cool weather periods. The biggest risk for plants during cool weather is if your package sits in a cold mailbox or on your porch. Bringing the package indoors promptly mitigates this risk.

We carefully pack our orders and also ship all orders via USPS Priority Mail with tracking included. All orders are covered by our 100% live arrival guarantee. Even when it’s hot or cold!  

Please note: If you place an order during periods of extreme cold weather we may cancel and refund your order at our discretion. This is to prevent unnecessary dead on arrivals.
