Terms and Conditions

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE. All users of this site agree that access to and use of this site are subject to the following terms and conditions and other applicable law. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not use this site.


Plants
Deciduous trees are shipped bare root, and can only be shipped in the Fall through the Spring per Agricultural Restrictions. Dormant means the trees will not have any leaves on them and not in an active state of growth. In this stage it is easy to assume the plants appear “dead” but they are not if you peel back just a small amount of the bark to reveal the cambium you will see it is green and very much healthy. Planting deciduous trees during the dormancy period is the best and increases the survival rate, putting far less stress upon the plant than if it was in an active state of growth.


Shipping
We ship Monday through Friday all year round except the deciduous items as described above. The normal shipping time is 7 to 10 business days from the order date, but if deciduous items are ordered out of season this will delay the shipment until all items can be shipped. If you would like to split the order we can do this but you will have to pay an additional UPS shipping charge (minimum of $20.00). We use UPS as our common shipping carrier, and if you have any order that arrive damaged do not refuse the delivery contact us immediately and we will file a claim and re-ship the item ASAP.


Warranty
All items ordered carry a one year guarantee from when the order was delivered. Please fill out the short Replacement Application and return notifying us of the claim with a check for the cost of shipping the new plants to you (minimum $20.00). The shipping cost is calculated simply by taking the total cost of plants needing to be replaced and multiply by .25 to get the shipping cost.

I.E. 142.50 (Cost of Plants needing replaced) x .25 = $35.63 (cost of shipping replacement plants)

The cost of the plants are the only thing that is covered by the warranty not the cost of shipping, if plants are to be shipped this is a cost to be covered by the customer.


Modification and Order Cancellation
Orders can be canceled or modified any time until the order has been shipped at this time we have a no cancellation policy. If you would like to cancel the order you will need to return the merchandise at your expense to properly cancel the order. If you have any discrepancies with the shipping all claims should be made with Prepper Gardens with 48 hours and we will get them rectified immediately.


Minimum Order
The minimum order is $50.00 plus the cost of shipping 25% of the total plant cost, with a minimum of $20.00.
