Orders off site with calculations

After July 2011 at Aleyagarden they don't accept off site orders ( first orders and repeat orders ) if they don't include :
- plant name, price, quantity, calculation of subtotal, weight
- address, name, tel number ( address and name in Roman letters )
- instructions regarding packing ( without instructions packing is by default )
Repeat orders : Aleyagarden does not use records of your instructions and address to complete your orders. They must always come with the - calculated - order.

Orders must come with calculations so Aleyagarden and buyer can cross check results and minimize the risk of miscalculations in copy-paste operations and others.
Copy - paste from web-mail is never 100% safe.

Here is the page to select transport options and calculate transport :

Araceae : second certificate after control for Radopholus similis

Importers in the European Union must require since 2009 from their importers a second certificate in addition to the usual phytosanitary certificate : Araceae plants like Philodendron, and also Marantaceae, Musaceae, Persea spp and Streliziaceae must be controlled for the detection of Radopholus similis, a common parasite found in nurseries in the world. This control is a costly and time consuming constraint and the plants can only suffer as it is also exerted on roots. Each plant in a small shipment is controlled, not samples.

Synsepalum seeds : how long will it take to ship my order ?




At Aleyagarden the seeds are not stored : after a clients' order has been received they are collected fresh and prepared for shipping. Here in pictures are Synsepalum dulcificum seeds being prepared right after the collect : pulp is taken out and the seeds are thoroughly rinsed; then they will need some time for drying a bit before packing. From the time the order is received to the moment of packing a single day is not sufficient.
