Some products require an additional handling charge, noted in the product description. Certain items may require freight delivery — the freight carrier will contact you directly to schedule.

Some tree roses require an additional $10 shipping upcharge.

Temporary Fuel Surcharge

Effective April 30, 2026

Shipping costs continue to remain elevated, driven by fuel prices as well as broader transportation and carrier-related expenses. While we work hard to absorb as much of these increases as possible, current conditions make it necessary for us to apply a temporary fuel surcharge on orders at this time. We will continue to monitor shipping conditions closely and adjust as appropriate. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your business.

From time to time, we may offer promotional shipping rates, including discounted or free shipping. Free standard shipping is calculated after discounts are applied. Offers are subject to stated eligibility requirements, which may include a minimum purchase amount calculated before taxes, fees, and shipping.

Please note: Promotional shipping offers exclude fuel surcharges, 2-Day Express and Overnight shipping charges, and heavy or oversized shipping upcharges.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, promotional shipping offers:
