PACKING & DISPATCHING DAY IS EVERY MONDAY & TUESDAY
CUT OFF DAY FOR EACH WEEK IS TUESDAYS 11:59PM. Orders placed BEFORE the cut off day will be dispatched on the following Monday/Tuesday. Orders placed AFTER the cut off day will be dispatched on the Monday/Tuesday after the following week - 2 weeks (Excluding WA)
Please see the calendar example below. eg. If you placed your order on the 6th before Tuesday cut off, it will be dispatched on the following Monday, the 13th. But if you placed your order on the 8th after the Tuesday cut off, it will be dispatched on the 20th.
*PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately we are no longer able to combine orders as we are finalising your orders on a 'daily basis' to ensure everyone receives their orders on time. (This does not apply to WA customers)
For WA Customers, we dispatch your orders monthly on the first Monday of each Month. WA cut off day is the last Tuesday of the month. If you place an order after the cut off day, your order will be dispatched with the next months batch of WA orders.
We combine orders for WA customers, so all orders placed within the month will be combined and dispatched together. We also refund extra permit/shipping fees when processing begins at the end of the month. If multiple orders are made, please leave a note on your orders informing us to combine.
Processing Information
When we begin processing the orders for each week, if the order qualifies for the small box and shipping fee, it will automatically be fulfilled as the weight is under 0.5kg and the shipping labels do not need to be edited, therefore creating the tracking number. Where as the medium and large box and shipping fees will not fulfil automatically as we will not know the exact weight of the order until after it is packed, where we weigh them and then have to alter the shipping labels to the accurate weight, then they should fulfil once that has happened!
Therefore if you have a small order with the small shipping fee, you will receive an email when we begin processing your orders on Tuesday/Wednesday, but the order will not be dispatched until the next Monday!
ALL PLANTS ARE POSTED BARE ROOTED. NO POTS OR SOIL.
We are currently posting via Australia Post using EXPRESS POST only. Orders will take 2 to 5 business days to arrive.
**Heavier orders may take a little longer to arrive.

*** Information for WA Customers ***
All plants imported into WA are required to be inspected by quarantine. Every time quarantine makes an inspection a fee is charged and unfortunately this has fallen to the importer / customer.
We were previously unaware of this as we are certified to send plants to WA and also obtain the pre-approval required. Up until recently we have had no issues.
We have now made an agreement with WA Quarantine to incur the inspection fees on behalf of the customer. By doing this we have had to unfortunately raise the Permit and Treatment fee slightly to help us cover this cost.

PACKING:
All plants are posted bare rooted without pots or potting mix.
We select the best quality plants from our stock to fulfill your order. Each plant is removed from its pot and cleaned of the soil as this is the safest, cleanest and cheapest method of posting succulents. Plants are posted neatly wrapped with padding to ensure a safe arrival. Size, colour, and shape may vary a little according to the season, or the cold and due to slight drying upon packing and may possibly look slightly different from the photo.

Important message
We highly recommend our customers to always check our Shopping and Shipping Guide on our website and our FAQ`s before placing an order.
A lot of questions can be solved quickly! 😄
Placing orders
How do I place an order?
You can find information on how to place an order further down in our Shipping and Shopping Guide!
If I place multiple orders, can they be combined for shipment?
We are no longer combining orders as we have changed the way we process orders, as we are now finalizing orders on a daily basis to ensure everyone gets their order on time. This also helps to to avoid delays as heavier orders may take a little longer to arrive.
I would like to receive the specific plant in the current plants for sale photo.
Unfortunately we do not take requests for a specific plant shown in the photo/s. The photos will have multiple plants pictured so you have an idea of the plant you may receive. We always ensure the plants are very similar to what has been pictured so you do know what to expect upon receiving your plant!
As plants are living specimens, they continuously change in size, form and colour, and can adapt markings throughout the seasons. During the Winter season they will commonly have washable marks from the fungicide in order to protect them!
Is it correct that I will receive 1000 points when I create an account? What are these points for?
Yes, when you create an account with us you will receive 1000 points to your Rewards account as a welcome gift!
The points are part of our Rewards system! In the Rewards section on our website, you will see different discounts you can redeem using your points, to then apply to your order!
When you choose to redeem one of the discount options, you will be given a discount code that you can then copy and use at the checkout for your order!
You can find the Rewards tab at the top of the Homepage!
Can you hold my order?
If you have a last minute change of plans or circumstance and can not receive your order, we are more than happy to hold it for you, however we do have a holding period of 3 weeks only.
Shipping
When will my order be posted?
We have our weekly cut off day, which is Tuesdays at 11:59pm! Orders placed by the cut off day will be dispatched on the following Monday/Tuesday. Orders placed after the cut off day will be dispatched on the Monday/Tuesday after the following week - 2 weeks (Excluding WA)
For WA customers, we ship once a month due to the quarantine requirements. The cut off day for WA customers is the Tuesday before the first Monday of the next Month. The orders are dispatched on the first Monday of the Month.
If you miss the cut off day, that order will be included in the next Months shipment. We combine all orders for WA customers that have been made within the Month.
All orders should arrive within 2-5 days via Australia Post, using Express Post. (This can be affected by delays and the area in which the parcel is being delivered too)
Please check our Shipping & Shopping Guide on our website to find more details about the shipping of your orders!
Do you ship to all states in Australia?

I have received the wrong plant / I am missing a plant in my order.
Please contact us straight away and provide a photo of the parcel and the plants within the parcel / a photo of the incorrect plant and the label it came with. Please also provide a photo of your invoice.
What are the watermarks / white marking on the plants?
The faint white markings are from a fungicide spray we use on our plants during winter to protect them from fungus diseases. The fungicide markings will wash off!
Payments
What method of payments do you have?
We offer Credit/Debit card transactions, Internet banking Transfer (Poli) and After Pay as methods of payment. Unfortunately we do not currently have Pay pal.
After plants arrive
- Will my succulents be alright in the mail?
- I have got my parcel and my plants look very dry / withered / wrinkly, why is this? Will they survive?
Yes, they will be alright, they are hardy / drought tolerant plants which allows us posting and sending all our plants bare rooted. It is part of the shipping process, we allow the plants to dry for a few days before postage to remove any excess of moisture from around the plant, so they do not arrive with any fungal or rotting issues what is more likely to happen during postage if it is packed having any moisture in a confined place. The best thing to do is to pot them up into a DRY potting mix and then let them sit for a week or so without being watered or until new roots have grown. Place it in a warmer position. Once plant is established do not water often in winter.
- What do I do with my plants now they have arrived?
- How and where do I plant my succulents?
- Pot up your new succulents into your desired pot using a - DRY succulent potting mix.
- Place your pots in an airy environment in a bright location, protect it from direct sunlight and frost.
- After few weeks new roots will start to grow, then you can water it. After watering check the weight of the pot to have an idea when it will need water again. It may need when the pot becomes light AND / OR the leaves look a bit dehydrated wrinkly.
- Exception care for winter season:
Good and happy growing from Succulents Australia plants will need watering only once or twice every month or two during the winter months. For good plant health is added a small amount of Dolomite Lime to our potting mix as it is full of minerals and trace elements.
The best-looking succulents are grown in good light with minimal fertiliser and with just enough water for slow growth. This is when they exhibit their best form, shape, and colour.
Pot them up into a DRY potting mix and then let them sit for a week or so without being watered or until new roots have grown. Place your pots in an airy environment, warmer and bright location, protect it from direct sunlight and frost. Once plant is stablished do not water often in winter, twice a week in average. It may need water when the pot becomes light AND / OR the leaves look a bit dehydrated wrinkly.
