Ordering & Shipping

Do you offer shipping?

Yes! We ship to eligible locations throughout the United States, and shipping is always free on qualifying orders.

Where do you ship?

Due to agricultural regulations and state restrictions, we are currently unable to ship to:

AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, FL, HI, ID, LA, MS, MT, ND, NM, NV, OK, OR, SD, TX, UT, WA, WY, Puerto Rico, or destinations outside the United States.

Free shipping is available on all eligible orders shipped within our service area.

How will my plants arrive?

Your plants will arrive in seasonal condition with appropriate foliage for the time of year.

During the dormant season (typically November 1 through March 1), some plants may arrive dormant and without visible foliage. This is completely normal and often helps reduce transplant shock.

All plants are fully rooted in their containers and are ready for planting upon arrival. Plants may be lightly trimmed before shipping to ensure safe transit.

What are my shipping options?

To ensure your plants spend as little time in transit as possible, most orders are shipped via UPS Monday through Wednesday.

For nearby destinations, orders may occasionally ship on Thursday or Friday if delivery is expected before the weekend. Orders that would remain in transit over a weekend will be held until the following shipping week.

Will I be able to track my order?

Yes. Once your order ships, you will receive tracking information so you can monitor its delivery progress.

If you have questions about your shipment, please contact us at retailsales@cavanos.com and include your order number for faster assistance.

Can you hold my order for a future delivery date?

At this time, we cannot hold orders for specific future delivery dates.

Once an order is placed, our team begins processing it as quickly as possible to ensure your plants arrive in the best condition possible.

Can I make changes to my order after it has been placed?

If you need to modify an order, please contact us immediately at retailsales@cavanos.com.

We will do our best to accommodate changes before the order ships. Unfortunately, we cannot make changes to orders that have already been shipped.

How do I use my discount code?

When you're ready to complete your purchase, proceed to checkout. You'll see a field labeled "Discount Code" where you can enter your code before completing payment.

Returns, Refunds & Order Issues

What is your return and refund policy?

Because plants are living products, we cannot accept physical returns.

Please note:

  • Sale items are non-refundable.

What should I do when my order arrives?

Please unpack your order immediately upon delivery.
