Packaging and ShippingA short video showing how we package our African Violets for delivery. We simulate harsh shipping conditions and show how the plant looks after. by Donna Brining We make every effort to pack your plants for shipping as securely as possible. However, African Violets are fragile and, due to their large leaf span, plants in 3 and 4 inch pots are more susceptible to damage from rough handling (crushing, kicking, etc.) by the USPS than are plants in smaller pots. We cannot be responsible for leaf breakage incurred in shipping and damaged plants will not be replaced nor money refunded. We give you the option to insure your shipment at check-out. We also remind you that broken leaves do not mean the death of a plant. Simply remove all damaged leaves, place the plant in a zip-lock plastic bag, and seal. Within 2 to 3 months the plant will produce new leaves and be “as good as new”. And don’t toss those broken leaves! Root them (see our Starting violet leaves video ) and you’ll soon have enough plantlets to give away! |
