Orders

I want to order off site, should I email you my order with the prices and sub-total ?

On the Shopping Cart page the Shipping options, down the page, must be selected and Apply button pushed.

Why at Aleyagarden they don't memorize addresses and packing instructions

Aleyagarden sell cheap quality plants grown on site and in good sizes but they don't replace plants : the buyer's protection is limited to that offered by Paypal

Wholesale orders :

Is selling on ebay worth it ? an answer with a calculator in hand is certainly surprising. Selling on ebay just because others do it must be regarded with scepticism
