Frequently Asked Questions

ORDERING

Who can buy from us?

Pinelands Nursery is strictly wholesale to the trade only. This means that we only sell plants to businesses affiliated with horticulture and landscape, schools and universities, or government agencies. We require proof of your business to create your customer account.

Unfortunately we do not have the resources to answer phone calls, respond to emails, or entertain visits from the general public. If you are a retail customer, you can still purchase our plants through our customer Pinelands Direct Native Plants, an online retailer of native plants. If you have questions about retail availability please contact them directly.

Do you have minimums?

We require that customers purchase at least 1 full flat (50 plugs, 32 or 72 Tubelings, 15 Quarts) per species or 10 containers (#1, #2, #3, #7) per species.

There is no shipping minimum on our flats for UPS.

To qualify for shipping via our fleet of trucks your order must be greater than $1000.

We can also palletize some orders for shipment as well.

Can I order online?

Yes - but your account needs to first be approved. Once you create an account, allow 24 hours for approval, and you will be all set to see live inventory, pricing, download availabities, and order our plants at any time of day.

When should I place an order?

We recommend placing your order as soon as you know what you are looking for. Placing orders early helps us plan our production to ensure we will have the plants when you are ready for them. When we are busy many plants will be available one day and gone the next. Ordering early reserves your plants until you are ready to receive your order. There is no fee to hold your plants, however there may be a fee assessed if you change or cancel your order without adequate notice.

How do I build a Quote?

Our online quoting function is exactly the same as if you were shopping online. Simply add the item you want to your cart, assign each species with the quantity you require, and click send. We'll respond with a quote within a few hours. Once we've responded to your quote request, you can simply place the order online or ask us to amend your quote.

SHIPPING & PICKUPS

Do you offer delivery?

We offer a variety of delivery options. What options are available to you are determined by your order total, product type, and shipping destination. For smaller orders we can often ship your plants via UPS, orders over $1000 of material within our shipping radius can be shipped with our own fleet of trucks, and we can contract trucking for the largest orders. You can always choose to pick up your order as well. For more detailed information visit our Shipping Page.

Where do you ship?

We currently only ship within the continental United States. Rates and conditions vary depending on shipping destination.

Can I pick up my order?

You can always choose to pick up your order. However, you must preschedule your pick up time at least 24 hours in advance. We allow pick ups from 8am-12pm every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week. This allows us to have your order ready before you arrive. If you need assistance loading, just let us know and we are happy to help. If you do not need assistance feel free to load yourself and head on your way.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping costs differ on an order by order basis. Costs are determined by shipping destination, transport type, and product type. We do our best to provide an accurate shipping estimate with your order but will not know your exact shipping cost until your order has shipped.
