Typically Priority Mail shipping takes 2-3 days but sometimes can take additional transport time due to rough winter and snow conditions. Shipping. All plants are normally shipped via USPS Priority Mail and First Class for a super heavy plant, unless the costumer instructs otherwise. This charge included shipping and handling cost. I highly recommend combined shipping to all my customers for discounted shipping rates on multiple orders. When more than one plant is won or purchased, the customer pays full shipping cost for the first plant with greatest value and a $2.00 fee for every additional plant. Shipping costs are subject to adjustment. The best way is to wait for the invoice when purchasing multiple plants. Please visit and like our Facebook page, Yellow Green Exotic Garden.
