Refund policy

Return Policy for Online Orders

Because we ship live plants, we have specific guidelines to ensure fairness for both you and our team.


šŸ“¦ Report Window

If there is an issue with your order:

  • Contact us within 3 days of delivery

  • Email: info@kazumigarden.com

  • Include clear photos of the plant and the packaging (inside and outside of the box)

Claims submitted after 3 days of delivery are not eligible for refunds or exchanges.


🌿 Minor Stress (Plant Alive)

Live plants may experience shipping stress, such as:

  • Slight drooping

  • Minor yellowing

  • Limited leaf loss

If the plant is alive and shows signs of recovery potential, we may offer a partial refund (up to 50% of the plant price, excluding shipping).

No return is required for partial refunds.


🚚 Severe Shipping Damage

If your plant arrives with severe shipping damage such as:

  • Broken stems

  • Detached moss ball

  • Severe rot upon arrival

  • Significant freeze or heat damage

You may choose one of the following:

1ļøāƒ£ Exchange (Recommended)

  • We will ship a replacement plant.

  • Once you receive the replacement, you must return the original plant using the new shipment box.

  • The moss ball must be secured with the provided zip ties.

  • Improperly packaged returns may result in a reduced refund if further damage occurs in transit.

2ļøāƒ£ Full Refund (Plant Must Be Returned)

  • The plant must be returned in its original packaging.

  • Once received and inspected, we will issue a full refund to your original payment method.

  • If the plant is returned further damaged due to improper packaging, the refund may be adjusted.


šŸ” Returns for Buyer’s Remorse

Because we ship live plants, we do not accept returns for:

  • Change of mind

  • Aesthetic preferences

  • Size expectations

  • Buyer’s remorse

If the plant arrives healthy and you simply wish to return it, return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.


šŸ“¬ Lost or Stolen Packages

If your package is marked delivered but you did not receive it:

  • Contact us immediately.

  • We will initiate a claim with UPS.

  • Resolution will depend on the carrier's investigation outcome.


āŒ Not Covered

Refunds and exchanges do not apply to:

  • Damage was reported after 3 days of delivery

  • Improper watering or care

  • Repotting, removal of moss, or plant alteration

  • Environmental damage after delivery


🌱 Ongoing Support

Even if your plant is not eligible for a refund, we are always happy to provide free plant care guidance to help it thrive.

Temporary stress may include:

  • Slight drooping

  • Minor yellowing

  • Adjustment to new lighting or watering conditions

  • An exchange
    or
