 The plants are debagged, washed, treated, wrapped cautiously and fast in an area where light is reduced.

 In the often cloudy Phuket province the temperature is on average 4 Celsius deg. lower than anywhere else in Thailand, humdity is often higher : the conditions are perfect for packing live plants.

  -  be careful with RIP CURRENTS near the shore particularly in the rainy season ( May to November ). On this video , tracked by a camera a family was caught by a rip current and rescued. Also be aware that a relatively calm Adaman sea with moderate waves can always hide one stronger wave, all year, that will submerge with a much higher energy you or your kids. More on rip currents.
To this regard Layan or Nai yang beaches have the safest slopes. Naiyang extends along the many large trees of a beautiful park.

 Postal parcels. You can track your EMS postal parcel and sometimes before delivery small parcels air, on the Postal site of your own country in three steps on Track-Trace :

on Global Track & Trace :

 

Usually Small Parcels Air cannot be traced online but the registration number is necessary to claim the parcel at the post office.

 Options of payments and Prices

- You may have to register in your country before importing live plants. However if you are in Russia, the EU or Canada, registrations or permits to import are not needed : your plants will be brought to phytosanitary inspections and cleared at customs by our brokers and direcly sent to your door.  Upon arrival no money is required from you.

- If you import often by the post you may be traced as a professional importer, hence at some point  you would have to pay import taxes and duties at a customs center where you would have to fetch the parcel : the post would deny you the simplified procedure of receiving parcels and possibly paying taxes at your home.

This may explain why your parcels have been delayed after many imports that were delivered normally to your door. 

- in the USA there is no permit up to 12 plants. An import permit is required for 13 plants and more : 

- permits are free, they can be requested quickly online on the USDA site and they cover 5 years. See how to proceed here. Plant purchases with import permits tend to be processed faster by the customs than parcels of less than 13 plants to repeat buyers without permits. The green - yellow label with the permit number is stuck on the parcel which goes directly to the phytosanitary station before being forwarded to your address place ( written on the parcel ).

   With TransferWise, Paysend, Azimo, Currencies Direct .. the much cheaper transfers are also faster , both recipient and sender are notified, exceptional delays are not likely to happen and mispelling the receiver's details is not an issue as rectifcation is possible even lately.

Nota : with money senders TransferWise, Azimo, Pay Send etc. the transfer cost is 8 to 10 times cheaper than a classical bank transfer or PayPal, you get more THB per your currency. When comparing costs by banks and money senders take in account both fees and exchange rate, not only the fees. See how much you save on two real examples that compare to bank and paypal :

Spelling & data errors in transfers can be rectified fast at no cost with money senders but not at all with cross border transfers operated by banks.

 There are only 3 errors to avoid :  1 - instead of sending to the right receiver SUREE MEYER the owner of our business send to any other name, for instance Aleya Garden,  Aleye nursery, aleyagarden-Suree Meyer etc. so that wrong name and right bank account number don't match and the money will be returned.  2- instead of having the money sender transfer THB,  trying to send us an other currency like US$ : the money might not be returned but our bank and yours will have charged fees for an international transfer and it will be difficult for us to guess that you are the sender from an unknown corresponding THB amount on our bank book; your shipment migh be delayed.  3-  Trying to register with the money sender using a name that is not the name of the owner of the bank account : for instance your name and your spouse's name. These mistakes can be rectified easily or the transfer can be cancelled at no cost by email, the staff of the money sender companies are fast and very responsive.

In contrast to money sender companies , banks take huge fees ( about 50 $ in the recipient's country ) to rectify an international transfer that had mispelled names or mistakes ( recipient's data, SWIFT, account number, bank address etc ). Plus the transfer is slowly sent back  and it must be sent again, with all the costs.

Most banks will not charge you a fee for a local bank transfer to the money sender company, as their account is held in the same country (or banking area, for Euros) as your own, and domestic transfers are normally free. Here in Thailand we won't be charged either. With money senders two domestic transfers replace the classical expensive and non transparent cross borders transfers.

 TransferWise, Azimo, Pay Send .. are trusted all over the world, read all the reviews

First we send you as the recipient our details and our bank account details in Thailand  : the money sender will ask you these details for your payment. Then you enter in the THB box the amount of your invoice for example 13720.11 THB and the amount in your local currency shows up in the other box ( euro, can $, rubble, zloty, us $, krona etc ) . It is this amount, in your currency, that you send to the money sender from your bank account and the money sender will send us the corresponding THB from a Thai bank account : two domestic transfers replace the classical cross borders transfer between banks, this is why money senders are cheap and fast.

After you deposit your local money, if you gave them our email address : aleyagarden@hotmail.com  they will also inform us. In this email they give you the number of the transfer to us and the date by which this transfer ( in Thai currency ) will be in our account in Thailand. You can forward us this email.

Your Guarantee  :

 By choosing for your retail purchases : TRANSFERWISE, AZIMO, CURRENCIES DIRECT, PAY SEND etc. or the more expensive MONEYGRAM, WESTERN UNION, or WIRE TRANSFER you prefer to avoid the possibility of a Paypal dispute : instead you benefit from lower prices and a clear guarantee right away. 

You understand your risk when importing plants from abroad : Unless delivered in soil within 24 hours all the plants that we ship will appear damaged to some extent. Regarding packing our obligation concerns the means, we can't specify the outcome.

• We resend at half price in a next order any number of Hoya plants bought from the retail price list ( the pink column ) and reported damaged upon arrival for any reason, if they are reported within 7 days following reception. Other plant types are excluded from this guarantee. Plants bought from the wholesale price list ( the blue column ) are excluded from this guarantee.

The Secrets Behind Professional Plant Acclimatization

Why do some imports record higher survival rates ?  this concerns humidity control after arrival for a week or two : water vapor in the air is the most important aspect of acclimatization; also there is a real science in bathing plants in solutions that contain hormones such as gibberellic acid.

Warm baths, lower light, controlled temperature and steady humidity in the air that surrounds the plants after travel make a real difference on the survival rates. 



If you need to receive your order in Thailand before leaving for the airport tell us when you will leave your hotel. Public holidays may interfere in your agenda : schedule an appropriate time of shipping. EMS in Thailand  take usually 1 to 2 working days, but delays happen. 

Hoya cuttings weigh 45 gr, small rooted and 30 cm rooted plants 105 gr.

  RETAIL ORDERS : You may  

  * have a slow postal system,   selected * the most fragile plants, * the cheapest method of transport :  small parcel instead of EMS  ( EMS are more likely to go through customs ), * or preferred not to pick up the parcel to avoid taxes, * you did not comply with registration rules in your country, * you don't have the necessary equipment that provide sufficient humidity for the acclimatization period of 2 weeks, or * it was very hot, or * delivery was reportedly attempted at your place and you were not present, or * you did not check the status of your parcel on a tracking site, or * the parcel was smashed in transit * etc ... whatever the reason we resend the damaged Hoya plants at only half their price in a next order if reported within 7 days following reception

 

• If your parcel is lost or intercepted for missing ( or lost ) documents we resend it plants and transport 100 % free of charge - retail orders only.

Buying plants at a nearby shop involves less risks than buying plants shipped by mail.If you feel that you would not cope with dead plants in the mail or with a lower survival rate than you hoped for, we advise you not to buy plants online over long distances.
