Shipping Process

Lost or Stolen Orders

Stolen Packages: Alsip Home & Nursery is not responsible for stolen packages if the delivery has been confirmed by the carrier.

Plant Orders

Alsip Home & Nursery sends the best quality plants available and are carefully packaged in custom plant shipping boxes. We can guarantee that the plant order left in pristine condition, but sometimes third-party carriers and other natural elements may cause some damage. Remember, some plant stress is normal from shipping. However, if a plant item arrives broken or dead, please let us know as soon as possible by sending us an email at shop@alsipnursery.com. We will require that you send photos of the damage on arrival (before planting) so that we can determine if a refund or a replacement will be authorized.

Alsip Home & Nursery does not warrant or guarantee the life of shipped live plants, due to a variety of possible factors (watering, weather, etc.) We can only guarantee that they arrived in good condition.
