What are the costs of shipping a flat?
We charge for the actual shipping, tax, and handling.
2 and 2.5 inch flats are shipped in 18x18x8 inch boxes. 4 inch sizes typically need a 20x20x12 inch size. The actual cost to ship 13 pounds (average weight of a flat) priority mail in the 2 and 2.5 inch size is about $35. Cost of shipping 13 pounds in larger size box is about $45. The United States postal service web site address is http://postcalc.usps.gov/, and there you can get a cost of shipping from my zip code (92881)to yours.

There is a California State tax of 8.75%. There is no tax if you have a California State sellers permit.

We do charge $12 for handling. That charge include the price of the box, supplies, and an average time of 1 hour and 15 minutes to collect, package, and deliver the plants to the post office.

How do I get started with ordering a flat?
You can email at luis@highsierranursery.com, and let me know what sizes, when they plants would be needed, and weather they were for sun or shade conditions. I will let you know what is in stock, and/or email pictures of what is available.

Yes, we are happy to try and get customers only the plants they want.

When do I actually pay?
After the plants have been approved by the purchaser through pictures, and the plants are weighed at the actual time of shipping. Only then  can I get the cost to ship, combine all the costs, and give a grand total.
