When will I receive my order?
Once your order has been dispatched, shipping usually takes 5-7 days. Please be aware that due to COVID-19 restrictions some deliveries are taking slightly longer than expected. Australia Post has confirmed that Parcel Post collections from eCommerce retailers in NSW, ACT and VIC will be temporarily paused from 7am Saturday 4 September until 7am Tuesday 7 September. This will impact garden seed orders for NSW, ACT, VIC, QLD, SA and NT consumers. We’re working hard with the postal network to ensure we get all deliveries to you as quickly and safely as possible and apologise in advance for any delays you may experience during this time.

Why are my items out of stock at the checkout?
There are a few reasons why stock isn't available in your state which will prevent you from checking out.
Stock not available in your state
Orders are sent from an allocated warehouse according to your state, when stock isn't it available you will be blocked at the checkout and prompted to remove the item/s from the cart. The cart is currently the only way to validate stock against your address. We are working on a solution for this with our technical team.
Restricted Seeds
Some seed varieties cannot be sent to Western Australia or Tasmania due to quarantine restrictions. When browsing the seeds listed throughout our website, the products that are restricted are labelled and a further warning will be given at the checkout if you mistakenly put them in your cart.
How much is postage?
