Ordering and shipping info

Ordering

Shopping cart pages are secure. All information is encrypted before transit. We do not store credit card information on computers.

When placing an order online, a confirmation email will automatically be sent.  Within 3 to 4 days, a copy of your invoice will be emailed.  If you do not receive a copy of your invoice within 3 to 4 days, please email us.  The shopping cart charges your card, but a real person will process your order and check for mistakes. 

Bulbs will be reserved based on the date orders are received - first come, first served. We give our biggest bulbs to those who order first. The majority of our strains will continue to be at least two-inch diameter bulbs (XL size).

Size And Substitutions

Minimum order of any strain is 1/4 lb. This may equal one to three bulbs depending on the variety and when you order. We do place maximum limits on most strains to ensure that most of our customers can try the exotic strain of their choice. However, we do run out of many strains. When we do, we can usually find a similar substitute, so please check YES to “May We Substitute?” unless you are willing to wait until next year.

Garlic is shipped as whole bulbs. Most bulbs are 2” minimum diameter. However, if you order late in the season, (especially after August 1) you may receive 1 3/4” bulbs. Strains with large clove size will produce fine, healthy plants from 1 3/4” bulbs.

Shipping

We offer 4 shipping dates to fit your climatic and planting needs.  Early September, Mid-September, Early October, and Mid-October.  You will choose your ship date when ordering.  We continue to ship garlic through the winter as orders are placed and supplies last, but most of our garlic is shipped between early September and the end of October.  Food garlic may be available through winter to spring, or as long as supplies last. All shipping dates are approximate. We begin shipping “Early Sept.” orders a few days before September 1st.

Shipping costs have been rising steadily and we must pass those costs on. We usually ship by UPS Ground for packages over 4 lbs. Packages to Alaska and Hawaii and lighter packages are usually sent USPS Priority Mail. In most cases this is quicker and comparable to UPS. We compare costs and will ship the cheaper method unless you specify otherwise

1. If actual cost of shipping is much less than paid for, we will refund accordingly.
2. If actual cost is much more than expected, we will contact you before shipment.

NOTE that Midwest shipments may take 5 or more working days to arrive. East Coast shipments may take 8 working days.

Ideally you should check a ship date 2 to 3 weeks before the day you plan to begin planting !!!

We cannot ship garlic to Canada. Boundary Garlic, in British Columbia is a great source with many varieties to choose from.

Returns and Refunds

We cannot absolutely guarantee our garlic will perform well for you.  There are too many variables in soil preparation and care, time of planting, and climate.  We do not recommend our garlic for extreme southern latitudes below approximately 32 degrees north latitude, such as southern Texas, and Hawaii.  We can tell you that we get a lot of letters from happy customers impressed with the quality of our handcrafted bulbs.

However, if you are unhappy with our bulb size or quality, we will gladly refund your money on the simple condition you return the garlic to us within 30 days of our shipment.  Our liability in such instances will be strictly limited to the actual cost of the garlic plus shipping charges.  We assume no liability for freeze damage to garlic shipped after October 15th nor for any kind of damage after you plant the garlic.
