Frequently Asked Questions

Delivery over the 2025 Christmas Holidays

Our partner nurseries close over the Christmas break, which means we’re unable to deliver plants during this time.

  • Orders placed on or before Thursday, 11 December
    We can guarantee delivery before Christmas.

  • Orders placed from Friday, 12 December onwards
    These will be delivered after the New Year, during the week commencing 5 January.


If you have any questions about delivery timing, feel free to get in touch.

What's your location? Can I pick up?

We're an online-only plant distributor, with no physical location, pick-up area, or depot.

We deliver plants straight from top-quality growers. Check out what Our Service includes here.

When will my delivery arrive?

Orders are delivered within 3-7 business days.

If your order is placed before Friday we can typically guarantee delivery for the following week, depending on your location.

You'll receive an email with an estimated delivery day within 1-2 business days from placing your order.

During busy periods, delivery times may be longer, and we’ll keep you informed of any delays.

If we’re unable to deliver your order ourselves, we may use a delivery company. In this case, your contact details may be shared with them.

Please note that if we use this delivery company, their policy is to deliver to the boundary of the property only. If you provide delivery instructions, we'll pass this on to them.

What if I'm not home to receive delivery?

No worries at all. Many of our customer's aren't home during weekdays when we deliver, so we'll reach out to you beforehand by email (check your junk mail!), to work out a suitable spot to leave your plants in.

Do you offer free delivery?

Yes!

We offer Free Premium Delivery on orders over $249 to Brisbane and Sunshine Coast
(Zone 1 & 2)

And free delivery on orders over $399 to Gold Coast and Ipswich (Zone 3).

Will the plants I order look exactly the same as in the photos?

With over 400 plants in our catalogue, taking photos of every single one would be a massive task! Instead, our photos show an average representation of each plant.

Depending on the season, the plant you receive may be bushier or slimmer than what’s pictured. But rest assured, we always choose the healthiest, best-looking plants available at the time of your order.

We source our plants from top-quality wholesale growers, primarily based on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast.

All our plants come from Australian-owned and operated nurseries, ensuring they’re professionally grown to the highest retail standards.
Learn more about our growers here.

We're so confident in the quality of the plants, that if you're not happy about the quality upon delivery, we'll take them back and provide a full refund. That's all part of our Platypus Promise.

In the unlikely event that your plant dies within 30 days of delivery, we will replace it. That's our 30-Day Quality Guarantee.
