Returns, Refunds, & Limited Warranty
Order & Delivery Issues
Shipping/Delivery Errors or Damage; Missing, Damaged, or Unsatisfactory Product
Our goal is to ship your order accurately and for it to arrive in good condition. Trees and plants should be ready to plant when they arrive. However, accidents sometimes happen. If your delivery is damaged during shipping, is missing product, or contains damaged or unsatisfactory products, please contact us within 14 days of receipt and we will make it right! We will send you a free one-time replacement.
Some trees and plants are shipped in a state of dormancy without leaves. These plants are generally less susceptible to transplant shock and have excellent planting success. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us and we’d be happy to answer all your questions.
Availability of trees and plants is limited. If an item is unavailable at the time you report a problem, we will offer you the choice of:
- An account credit equal to the full purchase price of the item. Your credit will be good for eighteen months from the date it is issued.
- A refund of the full purchase price of the item.
1 Year Survival Guarantee
Since 1816, Stark Bro’s has promised to provide customers with the very best fruit trees and plants. It’s just that simple. If your trees or plants do not survive, please let us know within one year of delivery. We will send you a free one-time replacement, with a nominal shipping fee of $9.99. If the item in question is not available, we can issue a one-time merchandise credit to your account equaling 100% of the original product purchase price or issue you a refund. Your credit will be good for eighteen months from the date it is issued.
Please note: Our 1 Year Survival Guarantee does not apply to annual plants, which are expected to complete their life cycle within a single growing season. If you experience an issue with an annual upon arrival, please contact us within 14 days of receipt so we can assist you.
If you suspect that your tree or plant has not survived, we require photo verification, including evidence that you have performed a “scratch test”. Once we receive your photos, we will issue your account credit.
To receive your credit, please call 800-325-4180 or visit starkbros.com/help
