How We Pack and Ship
General Packing Procedure
Plug Trays and Trays with Pots
Individual Plants and Collections
Unrooted Offsets, Cuttings, or Bare Root Plants
General Packing Procedure
We pack all shipments by hand. The plants are protected with recyclable crinkle paper, packing peanuts, and if necessary, recyclable paper bags, wrapping, or small cardboard boxes to protect fragile foliage.
Plug Trays and Trays with Pots
Our succulent plug tray products (soft & hardy) are grown and shipped in plastic plug trays. Trays with pots are grown and shipped in plastic pots contained in plastic holding flats. Plug trays with rows are labeled while assorted plug trays are not. All trays with pots are labeled.
The plants are shipped on the dry side to prevent rotting from occurring during shipment. All plugs and pots will arrive with the feeder roots intact, which reduces the transplant shock. When shipped bare root, feeder roots must re-establish. Plants may be slightly wilted upon arrival, but will recover rapidly upon receiving water and filtered light.
Individual Plants and Collections
Individual succulents and collections (soft & hardy) are shipped fully rooted in 2.0" square plastic pots with one small plastic identification tag per pot. The plants are shipped on the dry side to prevent rotting from occurring during shipment. All of our plants are easy to transplant out of their original containers. Plants may be very slightly wilted upon arrival, but will recover rapidly upon receiving water.
Unrooted Offsets, Cuttings, or Bare Root Plants
These low cost plants are shipped together in a paper bag and are not guaranteed to root after planting.

Delivery Day
Orders are usually shipped on Mondays, Tuesdays and sometimes Wednesdays to minimize weekend delays and to allow plants to dry out sufficiently after watering (to avoid root rot). Note: During weeks with holidays, some orders may be shipped on Thursdays.
Same week shipping cut-off for new orders is Monday at 11:59PM Pacific Time. All orders received after that time will ship the following Monday or Tuesday. Note: If ordering on Monday via FedEx Express 2 Day or FedEx Express Priority Overnight, you must order by 9:00AM Pacific for same day rush shipping. Choosing these upgraded shipping methods after the order cutoff will still mean they are shipped the following week.
Orders are usually delivered on Thursday through Saturday depending on your location and when you placed your order. Exceptions are holiday weeks when shippers are closed.
We ship year-round to all U.S. states and territories. Our shipping address is 402 Bridge Street, Fort Jones, CA 96032. We ship FedEx and USPS Priority Mail.
You can always request a special ship date while placing your order. For example, if you want to order early for a special event such as a wedding, just note your requested ship date in the order comments during checkout. This is a service our company happily provides, and we always recommend ordering sooner rather than later to ensure availability for your event.

FedEx Express 2 Day guarantees 2 days in transit regardless of your location in the United States. It will also rush your order to the top of the queue on shipping days (Monday and Tuesday morning) to get them on the truck as soon as possible.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: We reserve the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold.
Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories
Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, and other U.S. territories do not qualify for our free shipping offer. Shipping to these areas is not possible with ground shipping, so all shipments must go USPS Priority 3 Day, or through FedEx when available. The shipping fee is based on order size and is calculated at checkout. We do offer a discounted flat rate of $18 to Hawaii and Alaska for most shipments over $75. Guam and outlying islands have higher shipping rates.
Guam Shipping
UPDATED POLICY: Due to numerous factors out of our control that delay transit to Guam, we will no longer guarantee orders that are delayed past 4 days in transit. Buyer will assume all damage risk when delivery is delayed. Thank you for your understanding.
AIR PLANT NOTICE: Tillandsia Air Plants cannot be shipped to Hawaii due to state regulations.
No International Shipping
Due to strict import and export regulations on rooted plants, we are not able to offer international shipping. We also do not supply phytosanitary certification or export documents. We can not honor refunds for orders stopped by customs. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Winter Shipping
We do our best to ship to all parts of the country during the winter, and we take measures to protect the plants from freezing during shipping. However, temperatures can be highly unpredictable during the cold months. Therefore, if you live in a cold winter area, we highly recommend adding one of our low cost shipping warmer heat packs to your order. Alternatively, when placing an order, you can request a later ship date to avoid the cold. Please note that Mountain Crest Gardens is not responsible for cold damage to packages without a heat pack. Thank you for your understanding.
WINTER & FALL APPEARANCE NOTICE: Most succulents shipped in winter and spring are smaller and greener than in spring and summer. Many are dormant or semi-dormant. With proper care they will all flourish in the warmer seasons.
Summer Shipping
As this is the growing season for most succulents, they do sometimes look stretched or faded when they arrive after spending multiple days in a dark shipping box. They will recover rapidly once removed from the box and gradually moved into sunshine over 1-2 weeks. However, if you need them to look perfect upon arrival, we recommend using expedited shipping from mid-June through mid-September if you live on the east coast. Alternatively, when placing an order, you could request a later ship date if you are worried about extreme heat. Thank you!
