Due to severe weather conditions across the Central Plains and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, we are TEMPORARY SUSPENDING SHIPMENTS! We may consider shipping to the state of Florida, depending on local weather conditions.

As of January 9, 2025, USPS has reported that Winter Storms Blair and Cora are causing heavy snow, freezing rain, and icy conditions across the Central Plains and Mid-Atlantic regions. States affected include New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Colorado, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Washington, D.C., New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Connecticut.

These severe conditions are significantly impacting the processing, transportation, and delivery of mail and packages. Additionally, delays within USPS's Air Network suppliers are compounding these issues, affecting timely deliveries across their network. USPS advises customers to allow additional time for final delivery. For more updates, you can visit the UPS Service Alerts & FedEx Service Alerts websites.

The current weather conditions and ongoing USPS delays present substantial risks to the health of tropical orchids during transit. At La Foresta Orchids, we remain committed to ensuring your plants arrive in excellent condition. We deeply appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate these challenges together. Thank you for your continued support! — The La Foresta Orchids Team

We have established three distinct shipping profiles on our website, tailored to meet the specific shipping requirements and care needs of each orchid, as outlined below:

1) Regular Size Orchids 🌸: USPS Priority Mail Shipping, or FREE SHIPPING** if applicable, for most orchid varieties.

2) Oversized/Overweight Orchids 📦: For XL orchids that are approximately 24" to 32" tall or for heavier items, a surcharge shipping fee applies, which is a portion of the total shipping cost. In this case, we will cover part of the shipping costs beyond this surcharge.

3) Hoya Plants 🌿: USPS Express Mail Shipping (1 to 3 days) is required for these delicate plants to ensure their safe arrival.

Your order may be divided into up to three separate shipments during the checkout process, depending on the orchids chosen and their respective shipping requirements.

If we can consolidate your orchids into one shipment, we’ll be happy to do that and refund the difference in shipping costs, if possible, to help you save!

**We provide FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $149! Please note that some restrictions apply to select orchids, including oversized or overweight varieties and time-sensitive plants like Hoyas, a shipping surcharge fee will be applied to these items at checkout.
