Shipping mango tree
« on: January 22, 2018, 02:20:10 AM »
This might be a dumb question to ask.
I am planning on shipping a mango tree to a friend.
Have anyone in here shipped and what carrier to use?

Thanks..

Most plants I have purchased online have been shipped to me via USPS in a triangular box and I would say that 99% of them have arrived in excellent shape.

I shipped a pitangatuba via the UPS store.  They packed it up for me.  I highly recommend them.

Really depends on the size of the tree.  A one gallon would go in a U-Line cardboard box 6x6x48" and shipped USPS Priority Mail.  A large tree i.e., 250 gallons, would need to call R&L Carriesrs and ask them freight prices.
