SHIPPING POLICY — Pearl Orchids
Last updated: September 25, 2026
Where we ship
We currently ship within India only. All orders are dispatched from Perinjanam, Thrissur, Kerala (PIN 680686).
Order confirmation
Before we confirm your order, we share photos and/or a video of the exact plant you will receive. Your order is confirmed only after you approve the plant. Dispatch timelines start from this confirmation.
Courier and delivery time
- All parcels are sent through India Post Speed Post.
- Orders are usually dispatched within 2–3 business days of confirmation. We may hold dispatch before weekends, public holidays or severe weather so plants do not sit in transit.
- Delivery typically takes 2–7 business days depending on your location. Remote areas may take longer.
- A Speed Post tracking number will be shared with you once your parcel is dispatched.
How your plant is packed
- Plants are packed in a sturdy 5-ply corrugated carton box (200 GSM) to protect them in transit.
- Plants are shipped fresh, with the potting medium kept half dry. This is intentional — it prevents root rot and fungal problems during transit. Dry potting medium on arrival is normal.
When your plant arrives
- Please record an unboxing video from the sealed parcel. It is mandatory for any claim — see our Refund Policy.
- Open the parcel as soon as possible, keep the plant in bright, indirect light, and water lightly once it has settled.
Address and delivery issues
- Please make sure your shipping address, PIN code and phone number are correct. We are not responsible for delays or loss caused by incorrect details.
- If a parcel is returned to us because it was undeliverable or not collected, the plant may not survive the return journey. Re-shipping will be charged, and no refund is due for the plant.
- Once handed to India Post, transit times are outside our control. We will help you follow up on any delayed parcel.
