Ordering and Shipping Information

Shipping Options and Information
There are three shipping options: Economy, Priority and Express. We strongly recommend choosing express or priority mail shipping.

Economy: Standard domestic economy shipping is FREE on orders of $7.50 or more! We use regular U.S. Postal Service for standard shipping. Please keep in mind that postal delivery time can vary widely, in rare cases taking as long as 2-3 weeks. If you select standard shipping and your package hasn't arrived by three weeks, please contact us. We strongly recommend selecting priority or express shipping, particularly for short-viability seeds.

Priority: Priority shipping generally takes 2-3 days from pickup time. Tracking numbers are available with the priority mail shipping option to United States destinations.

Express: Express mail shipping is typically overnight delivery from pickup time. Tracking numbers are available with the express mail shipping option.

All shipping options are available on checkout. You will be sent an e-mail when your order is shipped.

Incorrect Shipping Addresses: Make sure to verify your shipping address when placing your order. If you are unsure for any reasons about the shipping address submitted to us, please send an e-mail when placing your order to service@tradewindsfruit.com, with your correct shipping address. Please note that once an order is shipped to changes can be made to the shipping address. If the address is incorrect or invalid, please contact the United States Postal Service to have the package rerouted. We can only reship orders once the original package has been returned to us in full and this often takes several weeks or months.

There is a $7.50 minimum order. (Optional shipping charges for priority mail are included in the minimum.) For orders under $7.50, the difference will be made up as an additional shipping charge and will calculated automatically as you check out.

Shipping
There is a $7.50 minimum order for international destinations. See the chart below for international shipping charges. We use regular U.S. Postal Service airmail for shipping. Please keep in mind that postal delivery time to international designations can vary widely. Typical in-transit times are 1-3 weeks to Western Europe, Canada and Mexico, and 2-6 weeks to anywhere else in the world.
Importing Note: By placing an order, you are taking full responsibility for importation of seeds into your home country and releasing Trade Winds Fruit from any liability related to shipments in-transit. Some countries, e.g. Australia, have strict regulations on which seeds are allowed to be imported. It is up to the buyer to obtain any necessary permits or documentation necessary for importation. Trade Winds Fruit is not responsible and there are no refunds for any loss of seed due to importation difficulties. While we do not anticipate any reduced viability or quality, seeds to destinations outside of the United States are sold AS-IS.

Trade Winds Fruit is committed to providing our customers some of the most difficult to find and exotic seeds fresh from harvest. We do not store seeds for excessive amounts of time and will send limited-viability seeds undried. We periodically test our seed stock and can attest to germination as we cultivate many of the plants ourselves from our own seeds. We do not send old seeds, known non-viable seeds, nor substitute seed selections under any circumstance without your prior approval. Our seeds have excellent germination records and we are proud to maintain as high possible standards in seed viability and selections. All seeds are for planting purposes only, and should not be consumed. We identify all plants and seeds to the absolute best of our abilities and take great care to make sure both species and varieties are sourced and identified correctly. Some species are similar in appearance and nature, and Trade Winds Fruit does not make any guarantee or hold any liability if germinated seeds show production, genotypic, or phenotypic differences from parent sources. Our tomato and pepper seeds are open-pollinated and as such, cross-pollination may sometimes occur. We offer no explicit warranty on any seeds but in most cases are happy to work with customers or provide replacements for seeds suspected of non-viability. Liability is always limited to the purchase price of the seeds only. In no event shall Trade Winds Fruit be liable for consequential damages, regardless of the nature, the cause, or the extent of loss. Your satisfaction is very important to us. Many tropical seeds have widely varying germination times. Please refer to our seed germination page for tips on germination and estimated germination times, or e-mail us with any further questions.

Trade Winds Fruit shall not be held liable for any damages, either direct or consequential from the use of our seeds.
