Shipping Methods
We offer these methods for shipping your orders from theharvestco.com
Ground — 3 to 5 shipping days
Freight — 3 to 10 business days
Certain products may require additional days to process prior to shipping. All shipping methods apply to business days, not weekends or holidays. Not all items are available for all shipping methods. We sometimes offer free shipping for specific shipping methods in select categories, or free shipping site wide.
Our shipping fees are calculated by the weight, dimensions, destination, and shipping method. We reserve the right to notify you of any additional shipping charges necessary to deliver your order. Our web site attempts to estimate calculated shipping fees and sometimes it may not be accurate for a multitude of reasons: rural delivery locations, shipment requires multiple pallets, delivery to an island, etc.
** If your order requires additional shipping charges you will be immediately notified of additional shipping charges.

Privacy for many of our customers is of the greatest importance. We get it. You can request your packages shipped in unmarked boxes without any identifying markings. Our pallet orders can be wrapped in black for your privacy.
Shipping Methods & Transit Times
Most orders are processed within 3-5 business days. This does not include transit times. This estimate may vary depending on stock availability, order size, special handling requirements, and special order status. Transit times vary per carrier, shipment size, and destination.
Customer orders may be fulfilled directly by the manufacturer or distributor to reduce cost and shipping time. In some cases we may choose to ship an order from multiple locations. Our customers are NOT charged for any additional shipping fees incurred if we decide to send your order in multiple packages.
Freight Deposits & Estimates
We require our customers to submit a Refundable Freight Deposit prior to receiving a freight estimate. We strive to find the quickest, most affordable freight option for our customers. Freight estimates are calculated and emailed to our customers within 24 hours of a new order submission. To approve your freight estimate, please respond to your Freight Estimate email.
Freight Shipping
Freight shipments are delivered by scheduled appointment only. Our freight carrier will contact you directly to arrange a delivery day and time. You must respond to the freight carrier within 24 hours. If the freight carrier can not confirm a delivery appointment within 24 hours of first contact, customers are responsible for all shipping fees and restocking fees.
Oversized items will be shipped on pallets (i.e., large orders, trays, soil, reflectors, dehumidifiers, etc.). Freight shipments are delivered by scheduled appointments. Customers will need to inspect for damage incurred via transit. DO NOT accept the shipment if there is any damage. If your freight shipment arrives damaged, contact us immediately.
Note: Your signature on the freight bill confirms that you have received your shipment/order in acceptable condition. Once signed, there is not reimbursement of freight charges, product costs or any other charges incurred by you from The Harvest Company.
