Please note: Payment is by check, money order or via www.moneybookers.com. (In the case of the latter, we would need to confirm the total plus shipping costs. The payment can then be made to our account, which is the nursery email address, using your credit card.)

We are now able to ship internationally in most cases, excepting any plant listed in CITES appendixes 1 or 2. (Note that though almost all cacti are CITES listed, Haworthias, Lithops and Echeverias are not.) Please inquire via email regarding a specific country and the plants you wish to purchase. Thanks.

As is the common practice, we ship our plants bare-root, allowing a day or so for the roots to heal before packing them. They'll be ready to pot as soon after receiving them as is convenient for you. However, unpack your order as soon as you receive them and allow them to be exposed to filtered light; and, please, notify us immediately if there is any damage from the shipping. You, of course, assume all responsibility for handling the plants with care, taking special care regarding spines and, sometimes, caustic sap.

We guarantee that the plants will be in good health when shipped and packaged in such a manner as to assure safe arival. We ship all year and pack the plants to protect them from some cold, but we cannot guarantee that they won't be damaged from prolonged freezing temperatures should such occur during transit. Our weather here in Portland is moderate during the winter and we will only ship if the local weather permits. If you order during the winter months, take your weather conditions into consideration as well.

We ship by USPS Priority Mail or USPS Express Mail; according to your instructions on the order form. For orders of $20.00 or more, shipping via USPS Priority Mail is included in the Shipping & Handling charge (a minimum of $7.50). Add 20% plus $8.00 to the order for USPS Express. "Postal Carrier Release" allows the postal carrier to deliver a large parcel to your residence when they would not otherwise, or to deliver Express Mail without a signature. International orders are usually shipped via USPS express international and a $10.00 (USD) fee for the Phytosanitary Certificate applies. Handling Charges: Handling charges are as follows:

• Orders of ten plants or less: $7.50.
  Orders of 11 to 25 plants: $12.50.
• Orders of 26 or more plants: $15.00.
• Orders of 50 or more plants will be charged actual shipping costs.
• Specimen plants and plants which are heavier or larger than normal, may be charged extra according to weight and difficulty of shipping. You will be notified of any such extra charges at the time of ordering. Due to the new Postal Service shipping rates, this may happen more often than in the past, but you will always know prior to shipping the order and have the opportunity to confirm your order or to cancel. Thanks for your understanding.
• Shipping charge for orders of less than $20.00 (in addition to handling charge): $5.00
