Family Grown Trees is a trade name of Swensen Farms Corporation, 6340 U.S. 95, Fruitland, ID 83619, United States. We are a family-run business, and we take real care getting healthy plants packed and safely on their way to you. Below is everything you need to know about how we ship.
Shipping Rates
Shipping is free on every order. There is no minimum to reach and no discount code to enter. Shipping is already included in the price you see on the product page, so no shipping charge is added at checkout.
Free shipping covers standard ground delivery within the contiguous 48 United States.
Order Processing
Every order is packed to order by hand so your plant travels safe. Orders typically process and ship within 1-3 business days. During busy seasons, promotions, or holidays, processing may take a little longer. We appreciate your patience. Orders are packed and shipped Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
You will receive a confirmation email when you order, and a second email with tracking as soon as your plant ships.
Where We Ship
We ship within the contiguous 48 United States. We are unable to ship to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, P.O. boxes, or international addresses.
Agricultural (state) restrictions: Because live plants are regulated, certain plants cannot legally be shipped to certain states. If an item cannot ship to your address, our site will let you know, and we will not be able to include that item in your order. This protects local ecosystems and keeps us compliant with state and federal agricultural rules.
Delivery Times
Once shipped, most orders arrive within 3-7 business days, depending on your location and the carrier. We ship via FedEx and UPS. Delivery estimates are not guaranteed, as transit times are ultimately controlled by the carrier.
Seasonal & Weather Holds
Plants are living things, and extreme temperatures during transit can harm them. To protect your order, we may delay shipping during periods of extreme heat or cold in your area, or hold an order until conditions are safe for the plant to travel. If we need to hold your order for weather, we will do our best to keep you informed. This gives your plant the best possible chance of arriving healthy.
Tracking Your Order
When your order ships, we will email you a tracking number. Please allow up to 24-48 hours for tracking to update after you receive it.
Incorrect Addresses & Failed Deliveries
Please double-check your shipping address at checkout. We are not responsible for orders shipped to an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer. If a package is returned to us as undeliverable because of an incorrect or incomplete address, we will reach out to arrange reshipment, and a reshipment charge may apply. Refused shipments of live plants cannot be refunded.
Damaged or Unhealthy on Arrival
We stand behind every plant we ship. If your order arrives damaged, or a plant looks unhealthy on arrival, contact us within 14 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos, and we will send a free replacement or issue a full refund. Full details are in our Refund & Returns Policy.
