Shipping policy

Shipping plants is a risk. A risk you are agreeing to if you decide you're going to place an online plant order. We do our absolute best to try to package with care and to make sure your experience is a good one but we cannot control what happens to your plant when it leaves our shop.

Please be aware, all plant purchases are FINAL SALE when shipped. Due to the unknown nature of USPS delays we do not accept returns or cancelations after an order is placed. If your plant arrives damaged or in poor condition please contact us within 48 hours of delivery at rubyflorainsta@gmail.com. If possible please include any photo or video of the issue at hand so we can best assess and quickly handle any problems that may arise. 

Merchandise returns must happen within 14 days of the shipment date for a full refund. Customers are responsible for the label as well as the shipping fee on these items. Each return is handled personally and individually.

WHAT IS THE SHIPPING COST AND WHO DO YOU USE?
We ship plants through USPS Priority and it usually arrives within 2-3 business days but may take up to 5 business days. Please keep that in mind when ordering live plants. There is a flat $12 shipping fee, no matter what is purchased.

WHAT PLANTS DO YOU SHIP?
We will happily ship a lot of our plant inventory except what is under our Floor Plants tab. They are too large and if you happen to purchase that as a shipped order, your order will be canceled. *PLEASE NOTE: If you order online, a plant will be chosen from multiple plants that are in stock currently. Because of that, what you receive may differ slightly from the photo you see on our product listings. We keep up with our product photos but variegation change, number of leaves ...etc can change.*

DO YOU SHIP TO ME?
As long as you live in the United States, we ship to you.
*Excluding Alaska and Hawaii*

WHEN DO YOU SHIP?
Mondays and Tuesdays. If you place an order to ship after Wednesday at 5pm, it will not ship until the following Monday. We typically do not ship toward the end of the week to avoid plants getting stuck in shipping facilities on the weekends. This is for the good of the sale, the plant and your expectations when receiving the package. We have been shipping plants for 6 years and this is by far the best solution to avoiding any shipping issues.
