Your Shipping Date
- Planting Date Many
customers like to place their orders early and have us ship at a later date. During the check out process you are asked for
a ship date. As a minimum, please indicate a date that is 2 to 3 weeks before you are able to safely plant. The
rule of thumb to follow, for the earliest planting time, is to plant 2 weeks before your last spring frost. Then of course,
you can plant anytime after that, giving yourself at least 3 months growing season before a major fall frost. Shipping in March through November: Our main shipping season starts March 1st and goes through May. If your shipping
week falls in the months of March through November, the plan is for you to receive your order later that week or the following
week. Occasionally there are delays but we work hard every year to minimize this. Most customers find that shipping
2 weeks before they plant works well. Once received, the seed potatoes will last over a month before they will need to be
planted. Southern Winter Shipping (December - February): Due to freezing temperatures in the winter, we only ship 2 to 4 times from December through February.
When we have a full load of orders ready to go, we take them in a protected van or truck to a UPS hub in Phoenix,
AZ. From there they ship throughout the Southern States without the worry of freezing. For this reason your shipment
may be delayed 1 to 2 weeks or it may even be shipped earlier. ASAP Shipping: In the months of April and May, we have customers
that place their orders and wish that we would ship them now or even yesterday. However, we have thousands of previously
placed orders to pack and ship, starting with the earliest ones placed. So if you are placing your order now, the approximate
time for you to receive your seed potatoes is 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. You may put ASAP on your shipping date knowing that
ASAP means 2 to 2 1/2 weeks for delivery.
