Important Requirements for Plant Shipping
Plant Labelling
Every plant must arrive with a tag showing its full botanical name (Genus + species). This is a legal requirement for quarantine documentation. Common names are not sufficient.
Shipping Address
Ask your plant seller to address packages to:
C/- Bob at Paradise Distributors
9 Paradise Place, Nambour
QLD 4560
Timing
Plants should arrive at our facility 10-28 days before the dispatch date. This allows time for potting (if needed), treatment, inspection and documentation.
Plant Condition
For best results, ask sellers to ship plants in their pots with soil rather than bare-rooted. Bare-rooted plants require repotting and may not travel as well.
