When do my plants ship?

We ship orders every Monday in the winter, and Monday to Friday during the summer.

US orders may take up to 1 week to process US orders as they require special phytosanitary export documentation and inspections.

Do you ship to PO Boxes?

Currently, we are not shipping orders to PO Boxes. This is to ensure that your orders arrive safely during the winter months! We suggest signing up for Flex Delivery with Canada Post, where you can select a pickup post office to keep your package safe! You can sign up for Canada Post Flex Delivery at www.canadapost.ca/flexdelivery. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at glowplantinc@gmail.com

How do you package them?

All orders are hand-packed for their trip to your home. We will place them in a bed of recycled eco friendly paper and may choose to wrap them individually. This protects them from both the weather & damage in the case of rough handling.

When you receive your package, make sure to unwrap them immediately. Get them some sunlight & a tiny spritz of water if necessary. 

Order Processing:

Please allow 1-2 business days for your order to be processed. You will receive an order confirmation email immediately after purchase and a shipment tracking email when our staff have printed the shipping label. You may track your shipment and check the scheduled shipping date with the tracking link provided.

International Orders:

International orders including the US have a processing and shipping time of approximately 2 weeks due to Canadian export regulations and phytosanitary inspections and certifications.

International customers are responsible to pay for any and all duties and taxes associated with the order. Duties and taxes are determined by local customs and/or port authorities of the destination country.
