Delivery
By truck
We can arrange for delivery of plants by truck to most major cities or towns near coastal regions. Since it is very difficult to provide accurate costing of freight to your area (especially when plant quantity and sizes are unknown) it is best to call us for a quote.
The following figures can be used as an estimate:
| Bamboo Land to: | Minimum freight cost * |
| BRISBANE METRO | $44 |
| SUNSHINE COAST | $55 |
| GOLD COAST | $55 |
| SYDNEY METRO | $99 |
| CAIRNS | $99 |
The prices mentioned above is usually for delivery to your door. Since deliveries are carried out by large trucks, sometimes they are unable to access smaller suburbs or towns off the main highways. If this is the case, then meeting points or alternate drop-off points can usually be established. Just give us a call for advice.
Postage
We can send plants all over Australia and even worldwide.
Within Australia, we charge $20 for the first plant plus $3 for every plant thereafter.
When sending plants in the post, we wash away all the soil and pack the plants in moist paper and then pack them into cardboard tubing. The bamboos will be cut back (ie. tops cut off) to be about 1m in height. Gingers and Heliconias are usually sent just as bare-rhizome.
We recommend that when you recieve bare-rooted plants, you repot them and let them stand for a few weeks before you plant them out in your garden. A good warm sheltered position is ideal whereby you can keep them moist but not too wet.
This is just to ensure that they make a quick and full recovery.
NOTE: for customers in Western Australia, Northern Territory, South Australia and Tasmania
Due to state quarantine requirements in these states, all shipments to these states require 'Plant Health Certificates' which are issued by DPI inspectors. The inspection of the plants prior to sending them and the issuing of the certificate costs $300 (fixed cost) ontop of the usual postage charges.
