Sales Conditions

GROWING WARRANTY:
Seeds are living things that are subject to growing methods and conditions for their performance, therefore we cannot guarantee their results. If you have troubles germinating our seed within the year stamped on the package, please contact us so that we can help you with a solution. As gardeners ourselves, the germination rate and purity of the seed are of utmost importance to us. The germination rate and purity of our seed exceeds the requirements set forth in the Canada Seed Act. It is our policy to notify you if a problem exists or develops with any particular lot of seed.

The seed that we sell is meant to be grown in soil or professional media, using good farming practices. We are not a source for seeds meant for human or animal consumption.

If you are not satisfied with any of the other goods that we sell, please contact us so that we can arrange to exchange or refund it within the year of purchase.

SHIPPING:
We ship by Commercial Canada Post which we have found to be very satisfactory. If you would prefer to use another courier, please add their costs to the total of your order or provide your account number. Our shipping/handling fee of $7.95 still applies to orders despite using another courier. Please add $7.95 to all orders for partial shipping and handling costs within Canada and $7.95 for all bulb and root stock orders. Due to increased oversize and bulk item shipping charges, please be sure to add oversize shipping charges where applicable. Orders to postal codes that require air lift will have additional charges.

 

We begin shipping orders at the end of January; after the new packaging has been completed. The reason that we do not start shipping until the end January is that we package the most current crop year available. This means that the crops come off the fields in August to November and we usually don’t receive the seed until December-January. We prefer to receive the most current crop available as we have found that germination rates and seed viability is greatly improved compared to packaging from the previous year's crop.

If you require any items earlier, please indicate this when placing your order. If you require your order to be shipped by a specific date, please indicate the date clearly when placing your order. During the peak season order processing takes longer than at other times of the year. There may be a 3-6 week turnover for order processing.

 

Backorders will be shipped upon arrival of items. Bulb orders are shipped in Spring after risk of frost in transit. Interior BC orders, such as to Whaletown or Bella Coola BC, may take 14-17 business days to ship.

 

FOREIGN ORDERS:

We do not ship to addresses outside of Canada. No Shipments to USA due to USDA regulations - see notes in USA ORDERS.

 

USA ORDERS:

Please be advised that due to USA import regulations, we are required to include a Phyto-Sanitary certificates and Germination Analysis with all orders before we are allowed to export seed orders. These certificates would cost our customers up towards $100.00 per order. We do not want to charge our customers for this. Therefore, we are not shipping orders into the USA using Phyto-Sanitaries. As a result, we are also not mailing catalogues into the USA.

However, if you still would like to order from us, and you have a Canadian address we can ship to, we can process your order without any difficulty. If this is not possible, you can obtain an import permit to ship seed into the USA. Please visit http://www.aphis.usda.gov to obtain your permit.

Please note, if you choose to order from us, we cannot be responsible for orders not reaching their USA destination due to being held up at US customs. Also please note, the average cost for shipping to the USA is $15.00-$20.00. This may vary depending on the weight of your parcel. If you would like to know the cost, please request a quote.

We cannot ship grass seed, ground covers, broad beans, fertilizer, rootstock, onion bulbs, garlic bulbs, or some hardgood items into the USA.

If you are looking for another seed company to order from within the USA, we advise ordering seed from Johnny’s Selected Seeds of Maine.
 

GMO NOTE:

None of the products that we sell are Genetically Modified Organisms. It is a highly regulated industry and the products are not available to home gardeners or small market farmers. If your certification board needs assurances, a letter is available.
 
WINTER HOLIDAYS:
If you are gone for holidays during the winter, please notify your post office to hold your packages, or indicate when you would like us to ship your order.
