At Amethyst Creek Farm, all plant orders are sold as pre-orders and shipped during our seasonal fulfillment window to ensure optimal plant health and quality. At this time, we are ONLY SHIPPING TO THE USA.

​

🌱 Plant Shipping Season

• Shipping Window: July through October

• Orders are shipped weekly during this period

• Fulfillment is based on crop readiness and weather conditions

👉 Plant orders are not shipped immediately at the time of purchase

📬 Non-Plant Orders

Non-plant items (jewelry, books, décor, etc.) are shipped with your plant order by default to help keep overall shipping costs as low as possible.

• These items will ship during our plant shipping season (July–October)

• Orders are fulfilled based on overall order readiness and timing

⏱️ Need items sooner?

If you would like your non-plant items shipped earlier:

👉 You may select a “Ship Now” option at checkout (additional shipping charges apply)

• Orders placed during the week typically ship within the same week

• Weekend or holiday orders ship the next business week

💡 Please note

• Orders without the “Ship Now” selection will be held and shipped together

• This approach helps reduce shipping costs and packaging waste

🌿 Live Plant Preparation

All plants are shipped bare root and are:

• Carefully dug, cleaned, and trimmed

• Inspected prior to shipment

• Prepared to minimize pests, disease, and unwanted seed material

We take every reasonable step to ensure plants are healthy and viable at the time of shipment.

🧾 Plant Handling & Compliance

A flat Plant Handling & Compliance Fee is applied to all plant orders.

This fee helps cover:

• Required inspections and certifications

• Regulatory compliance for shipping live plant material

• Applied once per order

• Non-refundable

• Does not include shipping insurance

🛡️ Shipping Insurance (Require)

Shipping insurance is required on all orders and is calculated based on the total order value.

Due to increasing carrier delays, damage, and loss:

• Orders will not be shipped without insurance

• Amethyst Creek Farm is not responsible for packages once they are in the carrier’s possession

🚚 Carrier Responsibility & Claims

All shipments are sent via USPS (or designated carrier) with tracking provided.

In the event of loss or damage:

• Claims must be filed directly with the carrier

• Any reimbursement is paid to the buyer, not Amethyst Creek Farm

We will provide tracking details and supporting documentation as needed.
