Shipping/Handling Charges

Shipping

Orders shipped within Canada are sent via Canada Post regular mail, or expedited mail for large orders. Express shipping can be arranged at higher costs. International orders will be shipped via Canada Post Airmail unless requested otherwise.

The following shipping charges apply to orders shipped within Canada. Shipping charges for international orders will be individually determined and checked with customers before sending.

We ship seeds to Canada and to those countries that do not require a phytosanitary certificate for importing. Please determine if your country requires these certificates.

Condition of Seed

We go to significant lengths to ensure that our seed is of the highest quality and we guarantee all our seed. Should by any chance, however, you experience a problem, please send the seed package back to us with an explanatory note, and we will gladly replace the seed if possible, or substitute another variety. As is customary in the seed trade, our warranty is limited to the price of the seed package, and not to any resulting crop. We do not knowingly sell any genetically-modified seed (GMO).
