4/8/2010 Hello, I am John Dietrich. THANK YOU FOR VISITING Welcome back if you are a returning customer and to spring here in western Maine. In the greenhouse this year I have hundreds of nice and huge actively growing plants of many varieties in limited quantities. We've been blessed with lots of sunshine and unseasonably warm weather so these guys are ready now to ship right away (within 7 to 10 days of cleared payment) This is my fourth year here offering the best plants you've ever received in the mail. Check out my feedback from last season.
Apparently I have developed a reputation for shipping the best size and best looking plants on eBay, and even perhaps the internet itself. I am very exited about how nice the plants are looking so far this season. Thanks, happy bidding, J

SHIPPING COSTS DETAILS:
Listings for discounted Lots of any 3, any 5, any 10, any 15 or any 20 plants are at actual cost flat rate shipping and have no packing fees added, saving you even more.
I have no control over what the post office charges for Priority Mail, however shipping is not a profit center here at Good Roots Perennials, here is how shipping is calculated:
Gallons are calculated at 3 to 5 pounds actual cost each and ship in their own box so cannot be combined for shipping discounts,
Half Gallons are calculated at an actual 3 pounds each plus a 99 cent per plant TLC packing charge and are eligible for huge combined shipping discounts.
Quarts are calculed at an actual 2 pounds each plus a $0.99 TLC packing cost minus all sorts of discounts when you buy several plants
Starter plants are calculated at 1/2 pound each, and are elligible for combined shipping discounts for purchases made within a 5 day period.
Thank you to customers who continue shopping as items become available but please pay at least once every five days , I will send you a bill
Please wait for this final combined invoice for all discounts.
F.A.Q: Why do JUMBO and QUART size plants have a $0.99 per plant packing charge included in the cost quoted in the shipping calculator?
These plants are just plain already almost too large to pack in conventional USPS boxes. I pack them carefully with lots of TLC: Once watered with seaweed to relieve stress, each root ball is carefully and tightly wrapped in a plastic bag and a custom made cardboard tube is wrapped around the plant and taped into place before the plant is laid into the box snugly and stabilized with paper or packing peanuts when needed. This is all done the morning of the day they ship so as to cut out a potential twelve or more hours of being in a box.
1/2 gallon at 3 pounds each and Quart size plants at two pounds are heavy to ship. They must ship by a method no slower than priority mail.
I ship USPS priority mail on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in the hopes that they will arrive happy and ready to plant before the weekend. If weather or other conditions cause a delay in shipping (too hot, too cold, too busy) I'll notify you of any expected delays.
I strive to ship within 7 - 10 days of cleared payment, but during the busy spring shipping season (April, May, June +) this may often take 3+ weeks! not because I'm wasting your time, but because I'm packing plants as quickly as I can. I sincerely thank you in advance for your patience and I assure you that the quality and health of these plants will be worth the wait. Please make sure you do not block email from goodrootsperennials.com
I offer a combined shipping discount for all items bought within five days when you pay for all items at the same time.
You may receive automatically computer generated individual invoices from ebay, in order to save the most on shipping let me know when you are done shopping and wait for your final combined invoice.
For COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT PLEASE WAIT for final combined invoice.
I any event payment is due within five days of first win.

Greetings! I just wanted to let you know the six (plants) arrived today, safe and sound. GREAT JOB of wrapping/packaging to ensure their safe arrival. I'm really impressed with these, I was expecting something smaller from your description and can't wait to plant these.
I am VERY PLEASED with these plants.
Dear John, The shipment arrived here (California) a half hour ago. The 9 plants arrived intact in superb condition! Thank you very much! I've left a positive feedback with ebay. Thank you again!
