Thank you for choosing Central Florida Farms and allowing us to bring
you quality plants all throughout the year! We ask that once an order
has been placed and funds are cleared, that you please allow up to 14 business days
(including United States postal Holidays) to
receive your order once the funds are cleared.
We are
usually able to ship the following Saturday after your order has placed
and funds are cleared.
- An e-check via PayPal
usually takes 4-6 days and PayPal will alert you when the funds have
cleared.
-
- A PayPal balance transfer
from your account to ours is immediate and means the funds have
cleared.
-
- A Credit Card
payment via PayPal is instant & that is the moment the funds are cleared.
-
- A Phytosanitary
Certificate - I apologize, but all international Orders must be
paid via PayPal and have a Phytosanitary Certificate purchased to
send along with your order. If not, your customs organization will seize
the package and take over a month to ship it back and live plants
will be dead plants and everyone loses.
-
- An Import Permit
from certain countries must be mailed or faxed prior to us shipping to you.
-
- All Over Seas
Orders must be shipped via Global Express USPS and the
cost starts at $45.00 to be added to the cost of your order. If not using Global
express or another Overnight services, then we will not be held
responsible for plants arriving dead.

PayPal
Claims & Buyer Disputes |
I understand that people change their minds or get impatient on an order
or get leery about buying over the internet. So if a purchaser decides
to place a PayPal Buyer's Dispute or Reclaim their funds via PayPal, the funds
become frozen in PayPal's system until the money is given back by PayPal
to one of the parties. I
have given refunds through PayPal's resolution center only to have
PayPal give the same funds again and the buyer has received a double
refund. As of now, if a claim is administered, the funds will remain in Pay Pal's
dispute account until PayPal refunds the money automatically to avoid
a double refund.
I apologize for the extended wait but if there was a
way that I could recover the extra refund money, this process would be
much faster. If the order has already been shipped, then we ask to
please be honest and replace the funds or cancel the Buyer's Dispute in
the PayPal resolution center. We are not able to cancel the dispute and
this can only be accomplished by the buyer. If the order has not been
sent at the time of placing a dispute, then it will be considered
cancelled and will not be shipped until the dispute is cancelled. If we
are able to resolve any problems, please cancel any pending claims in
the PayPal resolution center so that your order can be processed. Thank
you.
* All packages will be shipped via USPS Global Priority to ensure a safe
arrival that takes 4-6 days from here to you.
* Global
Customer, please allow up to 30 days to receive your order once funds
are cleared.
* All over seas orders must
be insured and any claims will be the buyers responsibility to recover.
IF you decide on a less expensive shipping arrangement, we will not be
held responsible for any damage or loss. We will do our best to ship faster than the
30 day allowance, but
because we have a busy schedule and we're a small company, I do ask for
everyone's patience in this matter. On very rare occasions it has been
longer than the time allotted but if it is, we will try and make it right! We
normally ship on Saturdays and Mondays unless there will be a long
postal holiday weekend. All packages are shipped via United States
Postal Service unless prior arrangements are confirmed and paid for. The USPS trucks run 7 days a week and when
packages are shipped on Saturday, they usually arrive the following
Monday. Rest assured that your packages do not sit in a warehouse over
the weekend or in a hot, sweltering or freezing cold truck. We do ship
all throughout the year and have had much success in the last 4 plus
years. However, if you live in an area that is subject to freezing
weather or extreme heat, we can either hold your plants here in a better
climate in Central Florida over the cold spell until you are ready to receive them
or we can send them out at your request. Please use discretion as we
cannot be held responsible for frozen plant damage or packages that sit
outside your home in the heat or cold for extended periods of time
causing plant death.
* ALWAYS remove the plants carefully as possible so
they are not broken, bent or cut while opening and retrieving your
plants from the box. This would not be fair to us to replace a plant if
this occurs. We live by the code of honesty and hope that you would do
the same. Prices on our website are subject to change at anytime, higher
or lower. All orders must be prepaid prior to shipping. Central Florida
Farms reserves the right to ask for plants returned at buyers expense
for compensation.
** IMPORTANT
** If the address you provide is shipped to and returned to us due
to a non-recognizable or non-valid address or is not picked up and the
package is returned, the buyer incurs the added shipping costs to the
correct address. This is rare but has happened.
** All plants are
shipped bare root via USPS Priority Mail unless specified or prior arrangements are
made & pre-paid. Added
shipping charges will apply to plants shipped in their container due
to the extra size & weight. Otherwise, shipping is included in all
sales except wholesale orders and large palms.
It is wise to have a container or area prepared prior to receiving your
plants. All the plants are hand selected by myself and I will always
send the best that we have at that time.
All orders are shipped in the order that they
are paid.
We
strive for 100% buyer satisfaction and returns & problems are rare!
We have served the online community with quality, healthy plants since
2001 and hope to continue this service until there is no more internet
or there are no plants left on earth or until Florida sinks into the
seas.
Thank
you for your time,
David
