The seller receives your order and carefully prepares and packages your plants for shipping.
Once your order has been dispatched, you'll receive tracking information where available so you can follow your plants on their journey to you.
When your plants arrive, inspect your order as soon as possible to make sure you received the correct plants and that they arrived in the expected condition.
If there is a visible problem with a live plant or damage during delivery, report it to Rootsi as soon as possible. We recommend reporting visible plant-condition or transit-damage issues within 24 hours of delivery and keeping the plant and packaging while the issue is reviewed.
If everything is in order, simply confirm that you've received your purchase.
Once the applicable Rootsi protection period has passed without a reported issue, the order may automatically be marked as completed and the seller's funds may become eligible for payout.
If your order hasn't arrived, you've received the wrong plant, an item is missing, a plant is genuinely Dead on Arrival, or there is another qualifying problem with your purchase, raise an issue with Rootsi as soon as possible.
Where appropriate, the affected seller payout may be placed on hold while we review the order, photographs, tracking information and information provided by both you and the seller.
Depending on the circumstances, a valid claim may result in a refund, partial refund, replacement, reshipment or another appropriate resolution.
From checkout to delivery, Rootsi helps create a safer marketplace where plant lovers can buy from growers and collectors across South Africa with confidence.
Buyer Protection is subject to the Rootsi Buyer Protection & Live Plant Policy and applicable South African law.
