Shipping Methods and Carriers

We use a variety of carriers for each shipping option, and will choose the most appropriate delivery method for your desired shipping address. Most items may be shipped to P.O. boxes. It is not possible to specify a preferred carrier when placing your order. We may use air or ground shipping as necessary to get your items to you within the promised time frame.

Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or APO, FPO, or DPO Addresses
Some items cannot be shipped to these destinations or shipping method choices may be limited. See our list of Shipping Restrictions or check the item's detail page for eligibility.

Shipping Rates: Guam & U.S. Protectorates

We offer two shipping speeds for orders sent to addresses in U.S. protectorates and territories: Standard Shipping and International Priority Shipping. Guaranteed Accelerated Delivery is available for selected items. (Note that if you select International Priority, your shipment will be considered international and may be subject to customs fees and import duties.)

Check the protectorates list to see if these terms apply to your destination.

The total shipping charge will be displayed on the last page of the order form, before you submit your order.

Shipping Restrictions

Warranty issues and manufacturer restrictions prevent us from shipping certain products to all geographical locations. In addition, some items too big to ship to a P.O. box must be shipped to a street address. You'll be notified while placing your order if we're unable to ship specific items to the address you've selected. Below are some general guidelines for items shipped by plantcares.com to the following destinations:

Alaska and Hawaii Addresses

Most items can be shipped to Alaska and Hawaii addresses.  Available shipping options will appear at checkout when you enter a shipping address.

Most items can be shipped to APO, FPO, and DPO addresses.

U.S. Protectorates (including Puerto Rico)

Only the following items can be shipped to U.S. Protectorates:

• baby items
• books
• DVDs
• music
• software
• toys
• VHS videos
• video games

Prisons

Amazon.com delivers to penitentiaries, but we strongly suggest you contact the prison first to confirm that they accept deliveries and to note any special regulations the prison might have. Some prisons don't allow delivery of hardcover books. Others place a limit on the number of items contained in a package.

We're unable to affix any special labels or instructions to the packages and on the outside will indicate only the destination address, our company name, and our return address. We also cannot allow gifts to be sent anonymously to inmates; the sender's billing address will appear on the order invoice.

Because inmates cannot sign for deliveries, packages must be sent via U.S. Mail. While Amazon.com often sends packages via U.S. Mail, we also use UPS and FedEx. There is no way for customers to request a specific shipper. To avoid delivery problems, you might consider having the items shipped to you and then shipping them to the penitentiary via U.S. Mail.
