    • Logee's 60 Day Satisfaction Guarantee

      OUR MISSION & GUARANTEE

      Logee’s brings a diversity of people and plants together to experience the joy of gardening. We want our customers to be satisfied with their purchases, and to be successful growing fruiting, rare and tropical plants. We guarantee our plants will arrive in good condition, and be true to variety name.

       

      SHIPPING

      We pack and ship your plants with care, however, the time in transit may cause normal shipping stress. Some symptoms of shipping stress include yellowing, wilting or loss of leaves, loss of fruit or flowers, and minor damage to branches. During the shipping process a leaf may break, or other minor damage may occur. This is not cause for alarm because a well-rooted plant will recover quickly.

       

      If your plant arrives dead or with severe shipping damage, please notify us within 48 hours and send a photo to [email protected]. Claims for plants that died in transit need to be processed promptly.

       

      RETURNS, REFUNDS & EXCHANGES

      If a plant dies within 60 days, please contact our Customer Service Department [email protected] or by phone 860-774-8038 (Monday-Friday; 9-5 PM EST). Please provide us with a description of the problem and in some cases, we may ask for a photo.

       

      Plants that die within the 60 Day Guarantee period are eligible for a one-time replacement (if the item is in-stock) or a refund or store-credit for the cost of the merchandise. Shipping fees are non-refundable. For plants that die after the 60 Day Guarantee period, we are unable to offer a replacement, refund, or credit. In some cases, we may require the defective plant or merchandise to be returned to us before a return can be processed. In this case, we will reimburse the customer for the return postage.

       

      No refunds will be given for returns of partial plants, cuttings, or plants from which cuttings have been taken. No exceptions.

       

      RARE PLANTS

      Select Rare Plants are not eligible for exchanges or replacements but are covered by our 60 Day Guarantee. To initiate a return, you must send back the entire plant you received. We will reimburse you for the cost of shipping the plant back to us.

       

      VARIEGATED PLANTS

      Due to the natural variability in the degree of variegation occurring in plants, the appearances of no two leaves or plants are ever alike. Each plant is unique. As variegated plants grow and produce additional leaves, each new leaf may emerge with a different appearance, having varying degrees of variegation. For this reason, we are unable to guarantee a specific amount of variegation in any leaf or plant, and unable to accommodate exchanges based on the appearance of the variegation.

       

      Variegated plants sold on our website will be similar in size and appearance to the plants shown in the representative photos. Please note, you will receive a starter plant that is similar in appearance to the representative plant in the photo; however, the plant you receive may have more or less variegation than the photo shows.

       

      DORMANT PLANTS

      Dormant plants arrive dormant and once they start growing, then the 60-day guarantee period begins. Please follow the dormant plant care guide.

       

      PLANT CARE

      General unpacking instructions and plant care are included with every order, and specific plant care for many varieties is available on our website and can be included with your order by request. Please read these care guidelines to have the best success with your plants.

    • Does Logee's offer Express Delivery?
      Yes, Logee's currently offers both UPS,  FedEx 1-Day and FedEx 2-Day shipping (available to most zip codes). All Express orders require both a complete street address and daytime phone number. (Sorry, FedEx will not deliver to P.O. Boxes).
      FedEx/UPS 1-Day - Orders received by 12 Midnight (Monday - Wednesday) will be shipped the following day. Orders received after 12 Midnight on Wednesday will be shipped the following week. We cannot offer overnight delivery for Alaska and Hawaii. 1-Day orders are not shipped on Friday to avoid having the plants sit somewhere over the weekend.
      FedEx/UPS 2-Day - Orders must be placed by midnight Tuesday for same week delivery. 2-Day orders are shipped Monday through Wednesday.
      NOTES:
      1) Some items (those which start with a "DS" or "KS") are not shipped via Express shipping, these items will ship via standard shipping (you will not be charged any additional express shipping fees for this item).
      2) Any back-ordered items will be shipped using standard shipping when ready.
      Express charges are calculated based on the weight of the order and the location being delivered to, our website will indicate the shipping charges for each shipping option.
    • Do I need to pay sales tax with my order?
    • Does Logee's Ship All Year?
      Yes, weather-permitting. Logee's closely tracks the weather and ships only when there is a long enough period of time with mild enough weather. Although temperatures in your region may be warm enough to receive plants, local temperatures may not allow us to successfully ship orders containing live plants each day. In the event temperatures do not allow us to ship your order by standard shipping you can choose our insulated express shipping (see "How Does Logee's Ship in Winter Weather?").
    • How Does Logee's Ship in Winter Weather?

      When the winter begins Logee's starts using USPS Priority Mail for all standard shipping because the priority mail travels mostly by air and the post office never leaves its packages in trucks outside overnight.  Between careful monitoring of the weather (see our map and details below) and the priority mail service we have had very good success.  However, sometime packages do freeze ... please contact us immediately if you have a problem.  When the day-time temperature falls close to freezing (either in Connecticut or your state) we can no longer ship safely using priority mail.  At that point, you may choose our insulated express shipping (see below) or wait until the weather warms enough to safely ship.

      Insulated Express Shipping
      When the day-time temperatures fall to freezing or below (either in Connecticut or your state) the only way to safely ship plants is to use insulated express shipping.  We offer both FedEx 2-Day and Overnight options.  In either case, your plants are packed in an insulated box with a heat pack at no additional charge.  Our current testing shows that this method should protect packages in weather down to about 18° F for a daytime high and about 15° F for a night-time low (a little lower if you choose 1-day shipping).  If your local temperatures are lower we will hold the order until it is safe to ship or you can contact us - the insulated shipping may still be available as long as you use overnight shipping and will be home to receive the package.  Note: Our insulated shipping method is only available with overnight or two day shipping because the heat packs do not last long enough to use in standard shipping.

      The map below shows how Logee's divides the country into zones by weather patterns.

      map

      Typical Winter Shipping for Standard Shipping:
      Zone AN
      - Usually too cold for nearly the entire winter
      Zone AA - Usually too cold for much of the winter
      Zone AW - Usually too cold for a good portion of the winter
      Zone AL - Usually too cold for a good portion of the winter
      Zone AE - Periods of warmth and cold so shipping is sporadic
      Zone AM - Usually warm enough, but shipping is sporadic because of Connecticut weather
      Zone AS - Usually warm enough, but shipping is sporadic because of Connecticut weather

    • What is a 'Hold Order'?
      We will ship your order at whatever future date you specify that is your ideal planting time. (Due to space constraints at our facility, we can hold orders for a maximum of 2 months.) The plants will be reserved for you and cared for in our greenhouses until your specified ship date. Please note: Your credit card will be charged when your order is placed (this immediately reserves your plants from our limited and perishable inventory.) To place a hold order, either enter the date on the checkout page (under "Order Hold Date") or mention it to the customer service representative when you call.
    • Does Logee's ship outside of the Continental U.S.?

          Alaska and Hawaii

      •  There are no additional restrictions, Alaska and Hawaii are treated the same as the continental U.S.  This includes the Logee's 100% guarantee.  There are, however, some items that cannot be shipped to Alaska and Hawaii because of the size or weight, the item numbers for these items start with a "DS" or "KS."

      Sorry, we cannot take international orders.

    • Are There Restrictions on What Logee's Can Ship?
      Yes, here they are ...
      • Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas - Due to agricultural regulations, Logee's cannot ship Citrus to these states.
      • Hawaii - Due to agricultural regulations, Logee's cannot ship Bromeliads, Coffee, Musa, Orchids, Passiflora, and Tillandisias to Hawaii.

Ordering Questions:

    • Can I order my plant online or by phone and pick it up in store?
      No. Unfortunately, we do not offer the option to pay online or by phone and pick up in-store. All items are sold on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be held in-store. Please come into our retail store to pick out items in our greenhouses. If you need assistance finding something, one of our knowledgeable staff would be happy to help you.
    • Are monthly 'Web Special' discounts available by phone, mail-order, or in the retail store?
      No. Unfortunately, discounts on our monthly 'Web Special' items only apply to online purchases.
    • Can I use a Gift Certificate online?
      Yes, enter the Gift Certificate number on the checkout page under "Special Instructions." However, there is a catch - the State of Connecticut requires that Logee's receive the original certificate as proof of redemption. Therefore shipment of the order will be held until the Gift Certificate is received by us at:

      Logee's Greenhouses
      141 North Street
      Danielson, CT 06239
    • Where do I enter my key code?

      After you add the first item to your shopping cart and are on your shopping cart page, enter your key code and click on "Apply Key Code".

    • Does Logee's Offer Wholesale Pricing?
      Unfortunately Logee's is currently unable to offer discounted wholesale pricing. Our retail sales have grown so much this year that our entire growing space is already dedicated to the plants we expect to sell through our catalogs. Logee's does not limit the quantity of plants you may purchase so you can buy as many plants as you wish, but pricing will be the normal retail pricing shown on the website.

Plant Questions:

    • Where can I get help with my plant care questions?
      Logee's is currently putting together cultural information about almost all of our plants to be available on our website. However, it is quite a large project and so it will take us quite some time to finish. Go to our Plant Care page to see what we have available now. If you cannot find the information there, you can also ...
      • Refer to the catalog or webpage for the specific plant, these contain the basic cultural information (sun requirements, minimum temperature indoors, zone, etc.)
      • Take a look at our articles page, it contains some plant care information - Logee's Articles
      • Call us with questions - 860-774-8038
    • When should I plant my Blueberries, Strawberries and other outside plants?

      Although most Logee's plants are for inside or outside your home, there are some plants that most people would prefer to plant outside.  For these plants there is a preferable time to plant outside depending upon your zone.  Use the zone finder and table below to determine when to plant outside in your zone.  Your may have your order held until this date by putting a note in the "Order Hold Date" portion of the checkout page (under "Special Instructions") or by telling the customer service representative if you place your order over the phone.  If you do not request a specific ship date, we will ship the plants to you as soon as possible.  The plants can be kept in your home until ready for planting outside, just as we keep the plants in our greenhouses.
