You Choose When Your Plants Ship, You Know When They Will Be Delivered
Besides the consistent quality ratings of our plants and service (see comments from customers) and our Top 30 rating at the premiere gardening resource Dave's Garden (out of more than 8,000 online gardening companies), another primary reason for our loyal customer base is our commitment to precise scheduling of shipments.For your convenience (and to allow you to take advantage of special offers sent to our email list subscribers), you can choose the exact ship-date for almost all of our products. Any items that must ship immediately will be clearly marked in your cart and at checkout.
No wondering when your plants will arrive when you order from Classy Groundcovers!
You may specify the shipping date (or we ship as soon as possible such that the plants will not be in transit over the weekend - see when we ship).
You know when the plants will be delivered, which is 99% accurate - sometimes UPS will take an additional day).
You have access to the shipping and tracking information for your order. You’ll receive updated tracking details within 24 hours of your order’s shipment.
You’ll receive a text or an email from us when your order is scheduled to ship and within a day after it ships, containing your ship date or tracking number. We ship with "no signature required," but in some metro areas drivers may choose to hold packages if no one is home. If that applies where you live, contact the carrier to arrange alternate delivery options.
During hot summer months, we also recommend leaving a note requesting "live plants" delivery — this helps carriers handle your shipment more carefully and ensures your plants arrive in the best possible condition.
If you’d like your plants held for later shipment, select your preferred ship date during checkout by entering it in the Shipping Comments box. To avoid weekend transit, we strongly recommend choosing a Monday shipping date.
Please enter an unambiguous ship date, for example:
- March 20
- the first week of April
Unacceptable (vague or ambiguous) ship dates include:
- "spring"
- "when it’s a good time to plant"
- "after last frost"
If you need guidance on timing for your area, please consult your local extension office or lookup your average frost dates and schedule your planting to be at least a week after your average last frost date and at least four weeks before your average first frost date.
