Local Delivery

Thanks for choosing Local Delivery! Here’s how it works, from the moment you order to the moment your plants arrive at your door.

How Local Delivery Works

1

We pick your plants and text you photos

Within 1–2 business days of your order, our team hand-picks your plants and texts you photos from (301) 889-8605 or (240) 876-4937 so you can approve them.

2

You approve, and we schedule your delivery

Reply to approve your photos and we’ll book your delivery with our courier for your requested delivery date or as soon as the next day. We’ll text you the scheduled date and time.

3

Delivery day

A driver from Roadie (a UPS company) picks up your plants at the nursery and brings them straight to you, usually within 60–90 minutes, depending on distance. Roadie will text you updates from pickup to drop-off.

4

We hold your plants for 5 days

We hold your order for 5 days after your photos are sent and will send reminders if we haven’t heard from you. If there’s no response within 5 days, the plants go back into inventory and you’ll receive an 80% refund (20% restocking fee).

Example
Tuesday: photos sent

Wednesday: you approve

Thursday: delivered

Good to Know

Please don’t reply STOP. We need texts to confirm your order. Opting out before you approve counts as no approval: after the 5-day hold, your order is cancelled with an 80% refund (20% restocking fee).
