Restrictions
Width - A pallet is
around 1.1m squared. If your order is wider than 1.1
metres, it might be possible to pull in the outer
branches with rope. Thin branches are flexible and
can be bent a certain amount without risk of
breaking. If your frangipani order consists of two
or more frangipanis, it is easy to interlock the
branches so that two 80cm wide frangipanis become
less than a metre wide. Transport companies
realize the unfairness of paying for an extra pallet
space for a couple of over hanging branches, so they
often deliver oversized frangipanis without
complaint. On the other hand if your frangipani
order is wider than 1m on both sides or one side is
well over 1m wide, it will be necessary to purchase
extra space.
Height - If a frangipani tree is 2m or taller, it
will not stand upright in some smaller trucks and
trailers. Use of larger trucks need to be arranged.
This does not cost more money but may require more
time.
Options such as carrying the tree sideways in a harness
may require more space which will incur additional costs.
Increasing Value and
Reducing Shipping
Costs
*If two or more
frangipani trees can be loaded within one pallet
space (1m x 1m),
freight will be the same as transporting one
frangipani tree.
*When ordering a large frangipani, ask us to suggest
smaller frangipanis which can be delivered on the
same pallet without changing the freight charges.
*If freight charges are too much for your small
order, ask us to combine your order with another
order going to your city.

Door to Door Drop Off
Instructions
Drop Off
Instructions - If you need to leave dropping off
instructions, you can do so when ordering or by
email. If no specific instructions are received, the
driver will decide on the best place to leave your
frangipani tree(s).
Door to Door Expected Delivery
Times
From
experience, we have learnt than 5 to 10 percent of
our customers plan to plant frangipani trees as part
of a larger landscaping project and require us to
delay or be more urgent with delivery. We are happy
to work with you as much as we can to help you so
PLEASE let us know your situation.
We especially appreciate the 90 plus percent of customers
who are flexible and patient allowing us to combine
pick ups or combine our local deliveries.
During the months from October to February, delivery
is around 2 to 3 weeks from the order date. After
the busy wholesale season (March) and during the
winter months, delivery may take longer depending on
the size of the trees and the destination.
Damage During Transportation
Please understand the risks involved for all when
transporting
frangipanis long distances and be prepared by
