About Richters' unique plant shipping system:
"I received
my shipment of six potted plants from you several weeks ago, and I felt that
I could wait no longer in writing to you and complimenting you not only on the
health of the plants in general, but the ingenious box that you have come up
with to ensure their safe arrival to their new place of residence.
I must confess that I have ordered plants through the mail before, and have
never been very satisfied with the results.
Imagine the shock I got when I opened up the box and saw such lovely, green,
healthy plants! They were even blooming, and didn't seem to have suffered whatsoever
from their sojourn through the mail! I was astounded by the ease in which they
adapted to being placed outside in the shade, and then into the garden! There
were no signs of setback whatsoever! As a matter of fact, as soon as they got
transplanted, they took off, and are lovelier than I could have ever possibly
hoped for!"

About handling
and shipping charges.
About delivery.
- Seeds are generally
shipped by lettermail; plants, plug packs and plug trays by UPS, Canpar
or Xpresspost in Canada, and UPS or air freight in the U.S.; and all other
items such as books, dried herbs, gardening supplies, posters, and videos
by surface mail or UPS.
- Rush orders can be shipped
by courier at cost if paid by credit card; mark "RUSH".
- Seasonal items, such
as bulbs, tubers, rootlets, mushroom kits, should be ordered early.
For example, "fall" items should be ordered by July, "spring"
items by March.
- We cannot ship perishable
items, such as plants, bulbs, etc. until our weather permits. This
may not coincide with the season elsewhere: in parts of British Columbia or
the United States, for example. Because of sheer volume in spring, some plant
orders may not be shipped until early June. If you wish to specify an earlier
shipping date on your order, we will try to accommodate you, but we cannot
guarantee that date.
- Most plant and plug
tray shipments to U.S. destinations will be shipped from Buffalo, NY. We take
care of all customs fees and paperwork free-of-charge. All U.S. plant shipments
are government inspected and come with a phytosanitary certificate provided
free-of-charge.

About international
plant shipments.
To destinations outside
Canada and the United States
We no longer ship plants
outside Canada and the United States. The burden of complying with a myriad
of plant quarantine regulations, plus the excessive cost of express shipping,
no longer makes it sensible to ship live plants outside North America. Of
course, we continue to ship most other products worldwide, including seeds,
dried herbs, books and more.
