Shipping

Schubert Nursery, Inc. (SNI) generally uses FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight or other LTL carriers. FedEx or UPS air shipments are available by customer request.

• All products become the property of the customer when they leave the SNI warehouse.
• Plants may not be protected against adverse weather conditions. SNI and the freight carriers explicitly disclaim any responsibility for damages due to weather. Only temperature controlled freight carriers are insured against such damage.
• Please count and inspect all boxes carefully upon delivery. If you notice damage to the boxes, have the driver record it on the delivery document before you sign for the shipment. Contact our Claims Department within 24 hours to report any discrepancies or damage.
• Fedex Ground Shipping Rates are determined by multiplying the total order amount, before any discounts, by the following percentages:
  Total Order Amount = Freight Charges
  $150 - $250 = 20%
  $251 - $400 = 17%
  $401 - $700 = 15%
  $701 and up = To Be Determined
• Freight charges will be applied at the time the order is placed based on the rate chart above.
• Orders over $700 will have freight method and charges determined by a Schubert Nursery freight specialist. LTL truck shipment may be an alternative.
• COD Orders are subject to a $10.00 flat fee per order on FedEx Ground and UPS.

LTL Truck Shipments

Some items may be required to ship using a LTL carrier due to size and weight restrictions on FedEx Ground and UPS.

• All truck shipments will go out "Freight Collect" unless exceptions are approved with account manager. "Freight Prepaid" shipments will have freight charges determined by a freight specialist and will be subject to a $15.00 fee.
• COD shipments will incur large COD fees from the freight carrier and must ship "Freight Collect."
• Customer will be held responsible for any residential fees or other extra charges that occur during shipping. If the extra charges are not known at the time the order is placed, the customer will be billed separately on a later date, if shipped "Freight Prepaid."
• A $15 fee will be charged for all LTL shipments arranged by Schubert Nursery.
