How We Calculate Shipping
How Our Shipping Works
We use Australia Post Express Post. Always.
We ship at 9am on Monday mornings to reduce the chance of plants sitting in Aus Post warehouses over weekends. (Our plants will generally survive up to 2 weeks in boxes, but we like to reduce any risk at all).

Shipping Costs and Sizing
Strap yourself in, this is a little complicated!
Our shipping rates are based on weight. This is why we’ll never cramp a plant with big leaves into a small box, because it’s weight, not size that Australia Post charges for.
We have four different box sizes.
- Small Order = $15 shipping
- Medium Order = $20 shipping
- Large Order = $25 shipping
- Extra Large = $30 shipping (up to 800g)
An order with multiple plants over the 800g limit will be packaged in multiple boxes, at the following rates:
Multiple Boxes:
- Extra Large and Small =$35
- Extra Large and Medium = $40
- Extra Large and Large = $45
After that, we cap our shipping at $50. So feel free to order as many plants as you like and know that most you’ll pay is $50!
As all of our plants come in varying sizes, we have to make the best shipping decision for the health of the plant, so each order is a little different. It’s a bit of a tricky process. As a result our costs are sometimes fractionally extra than you might see on the Aus Post website, but that’s because we include the cost of the packaging materials and the time it takes to carefully pack your new plant.
We hope this clears up any mystery about how we price our shipping for our online nursery. We will always do our best to both package your plants safely and with maximum affordability. Please do contact us if you have any further questions!
