SHIPPING NEWS

SHIPPING INFO FOR HAWAII-
Via Young Bros. Barge

O’ahu shipping
Very cost effective. Large, tall plants up to about 18 feet tall get shipped lying down on a ‘platform’. Depending on size of containers, we can get anywhere between 8-15 plants shipped this way for just under $200.

Shorter plants are shipped standing up on pallets. Cost depends on height of plants. Never less than $60 or more than $100 per pallet (all costs inclusive to Young Bros. on Oahu). See below for plants per pallet info.

Maui shipping
 We are now shipping open pallet (40 x 48) and platform (8 ft. x 20 ft.) to Maui. This method is considerably less expensive than the container version (please see below).  We have been shipping this way for over a year now with very good results. However, you need to be aware that it is possible for plants to arrive in less than perfect condition if the barge misses its connections. While this rarely happens, it can, and the longer the plants go without water, the worse they will look. It is highly unlikely that any permanent damage would occur but we cannot be responsible for Young Bros. scheduling. They are very good about moving live plants and perishables quickly but they will not guarantee anything.

We ship tall plants lying down on a platform & covered with shade cloth. Depending on the particular plants, we can generally fit between 10-15 large plants on a platform. Shipping cost of each platform (not including the plants) is approximately $175 - $200 regardless of how many plants are on it.

If plants are short, we can ship on a pallet. Please see info below on numbers of plants per pallet. Shipping cost of each pallet (not including the plants) is approximately $100 regardless of how many plants are on it.

Kauai, Lanai and Molokai
We ship refrigerated containers only. These cost approximately $600 delivered to your dock. Containers hold 8 pallets of plants or approximately 30-35 plants that are too large to stand up.

Pallets hold 40 one gallons, 16 4 gallons, or 6 10 gallons (only some species of 10 gallons are short enough to stand up.) If you need a lot of plants, this is a great way to get them.

We do not ship internationally or to the mainland at this time.
