Shipping and Handling

Standard Processing and Shipping Timelines

• When can I expect my order to ship?

  We expect orders to ship within 5-10 business days given current policies and procedures to protect the health and safety of our fulfillment team. Once each package is out the door, you’ll automatically receive tracking information so you can keep an eye out for it. Once in transit, packages take 1-3 business days to arrive.

  Note: Plants that are part of the same order may ship separately from different locations, so your order could arrive in multiple packages on slightly different timelines. You'll receive order tracking information for each item once shipped.

• What if I need to change my order?

  If you need to make a change to your order please contact us as soon as possible. We process orders quickly but will do our best to address your request. 

• Can I get same day delivery?

  We do not offer same day delivery for online orders. 

  If you are in the New York City, Los Angeles, or San Francisco area, our stores are slowing reopening for curbside pickup & delivery*. Please call Shop directly for details: locations & hours. *Not applicable to online orders.

  The Sill is committed to reducing its environmental footprint. Most packages ship via UPS, who we've partnered with to ensure carbon neutral shipping. This means we (not you!) pay an extra fee to offset 100% of our shipments with UPS.

• If I order more than one plant will they ship separately?

  Plants that are part of the same order may ship separately from different locations. Your order could arrive in multiple packages at slightly different times. Once each package is out the door, you’ll receive individual tracking information so you can keep an eye out for it.

Returns and Replacements

• What is your return policy?

  Every plant is fragile and the shipping process is not always kind (or easy). Most of the time we get it right, but sometimes we don't. When that happens, we fix it — be it a damaged plant or pot due to shipping carrier mishandling — with the ultimate objective of making our customers happy. If you're not happy with your recent purchase, please fill out our contact form and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. The form ensures we have what’s needed to help you as soon as possible! In the unlikely event a plant is received dead on arrival, it will always be replaced.
