PLEASE NOTE: THIS SERVICE IS OFFERED ONLY FOR ADDRESS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.


This "Priority Mail Service" is offered in addition to the standard, flat-rate $3.00 shipping charge. And is intended to cover:


  1. Actual costs charged by the US Postal Service (see link above)
  2. The reality that Delectation of Tomatoes is located in a small town, where there is no home delivery or pickup of mail, and where the lobby at the local post offices is open for only limited hours.
  3. This is a one-person operation, so Priority or Express mail means that I have to drop everything I am doing, interrupt routine, make a special trip to the post office, and introduce unplanned and unanticipated inefficiencies into my workflow.
  4. By requesting priority delivery, you are essentially butting in line in front of many other people who planned ahead and respect that I am always extraordinarily busy every day of the year. A rush for you means a delay for them.
  5. I have documented that tracking service by using Ground Advantage can take up to 18 days for delivery by the USPS.
  6. In about 10-15 cases every year, the USPS accidently (???) delivers mail to the wrong address, or returns mail to me with the dreaded yellow sticker, "undeliverable as addressed", even when the address is CORRECT, or at least identical to the shipping address I received when you placed your order. I have no control over these mistakes (???) by the USPS, and have published my return/replacement policy at the Store tab on the website.
  7. For some insight into why the mindset of "I WANT MY SEEDS NOW" does not align well with the mission statement of Delectation of Tomatoes, please review these publications:
