Shipping & Return Policy
Greenhouses are big, heavy, and ship by freight truck, so a little planning makes delivery day easy. Here's everything you need to know, from the moment you order until your greenhouse is standing in your yard.
Before You Order
📞 Not Sure? Call Us First
Freight costs thousands of dollars each way, so returns are expensive. If you're unsure about the model, size, glazing, doors, or accessories, call 678-408-8222 and we'll help you get it right the first time.
🚛 Check Truck Access
We try to use box trucks for all our shipments, but they aren't guaranteed. Some carrier terminals don't have box trucks, so please plan for an 18-wheeler about 13 feet tall by default. Make sure that truck can reach your address: no narrow or dead-end roads, low wires, or low tree limbs.
Always tell us whether big trucks can reach your home, ideally before you order. If they can't, we'll ask the carrier whether a box truck or another option is available. Please note that a box truck or other alternative is not guaranteed.
🏠 Valid Delivery Address
Please double-check your address at checkout. We can't deliver freight to P.O. boxes, and changing the address after your order ships may add carrier fees.
📋 Permits and Building Codes
Check with your city, county, or HOA about permits, building codes, and setbacks before ordering. Rules vary by location, and compliance is the buyer's responsibility.
Free Shipping
🚚 Free to the Continental U.S.
Standard shipping is free to the 48 continental states. Greenhouses ship by freight truck, and smaller accessories usually ship by UPS or FedEx.
📍 Hard-to-Reach Locations
Limited-access areas (islands, narrow roads, low wires, some major metro areas) can cost more to deliver. If so, we'll contact you to confirm any extra cost before we process your order.
🌎 Alaska, Hawaii & Outside the U.S.
Free shipping doesn't apply to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, or international addresses. Contact us for a shipping quote.
📦 More Than One Delivery
Our products ship directly from each manufacturer, so a greenhouse and its accessories may arrive on different days, by different carriers, each with its own tracking.

Delivery Day
🚧 Curbside Delivery
Freight is delivered curbside, at the end of your driveway or the nearest point the truck can safely reach. Drivers can't carry boxes to your backyard, garage, or another location. This is an industry standard and a manufacturer requirement for large greenhouses (including Exaco, Riga, and Janssens).
👥 Be There, and Bring Help
You or someone you authorize must be present to sign for the delivery. Drivers work alone, so please have 2–3 helpers ready to unload. Trucks usually have a liftgate.
🏗️ Large Greenhouses
Some crates and pallets are very heavy. For large greenhouses, we recommend renting a forklift or tractor to move them to your build site.
📅 Missed Appointments
If a scheduled delivery is missed or can't be accepted, the carrier may charge redelivery or storage fees, which are the customer's responsibility.
Damaged or Missing Items
🔍 Before You Sign
- Count every box and compare it to the delivery receipt (bill of lading).
- Inspect each box for damage, and take photos before opening anything.
- If something is damaged, write "DAMAGED" (or the number of missing boxes) on both your copy and the driver's copy, and have the driver sign both.
- Don't refuse the delivery. Just note the damage on the receipt.
- Report it to us within 4 days of delivery with your order number and photos.
Damage noted at delivery is the carrier's responsibility, and we'll work with the manufacturer to send replacement parts or redeliver as needed. If a part is missing or a pane arrives broken after you unpack, just let us know. We'll notify the manufacturer, and they'll contact you directly to arrange your replacement. If we shipped the wrong item, we'll make it right at no cost to you.
Returns
✅ Approval Required
All returns, including greenhouses, must be approved by Mulberry Greenhouses before anything ships back. Each manufacturer has its own policy, so we'll check with yours and tell you how to proceed. Unapproved returns won't be accepted.
📆 30-Day Window
Request your return within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, unassembled, and in their original packaging, with proof of purchase.
💲 Fees and Shipping
Approved returns have a 25% restocking fee. The customer pays all return shipping, including freight. Original shipping is non-refundable.
🚫 Not Returnable
Custom greenhouses, custom colors, special orders, made-to-order items, and items marked non-returnable on the product page.
💳 Refunds
Once the manufacturer receives and inspects your return, we'll email you. Approved refunds, minus the restocking fee and shipping costs, go back to your original payment method. Your bank may take several business days to post it.
Cancellations & Changes
| Situation | Fee |
|---|---|
| Cancelled before it ships | 2.6% (payment processing) |
