Guarantee

When you order trees from The Arbor Day Foundation, your order is guaranteed to arrive in a good, healthy condition or we’ll replace them at no charge. Our tree seedlings are shipped as dormant bare root seedlings at a suitable time for planting. This means that they are still in their hibernating state from the winter months. Deciduous trees will generally be delivered leafless with a few swollen buds, while Conifers will have needles. To confirm that the trees are alive, lightly scratch the seedling with your thumb nail. This should reveal a living layer of green tissue…your assurance that the seedlings are alive and ready to be planted. Each tree and plant is guaranteed to grow, or we’ll replace it within six months of shipment and in accordance with the following:

• Live Goods: One-time replacement or partial refund is issued if live goods (tree, bulbs, plants, etc.) arrive in damaged condition or if live goods do not survive (with proper care) within six months of shipping.
• General Merchandise: Please contact us within 30 days to setup a refund or replacement.
• Replacements of more than $200: Any replacement requests totaling $200.00 or more, however, may require additional information and photo documentation before replacement trees are sent.

Refunds

All refunds for merchandise will be provided as follows:

• If you paid with a credit card: Please allow 5 to 10 business days for the refund to process back to the provided credit card.
• If you paid with a check/cash: Please allow 3-4 weeks for a check refund to arrive to your address. Please note that the acceptance of this check for mobile deposits may vary depending on your bank’s policies.
• If you paid with PayPal within the last 180 days: Your funds will be returned to your PayPal account.
• If you paid with PayPal more than 180 days ago: You will receive your funds through a check.
