Pending live orders / pre-orders news
Hello,
We will be providing updates on our pending live orders/pre-orders over the next few weeks as we monitor weather forecasts closely.
For customers in British Columbia, we expect to be able to start shipping some of the live orders within B.C. next week "Check your local weather, email us anytime to check status, weather conditions permitting*. Although coastal B.C. has shown to be improving, it is still uncertain whether daytime temperatures will be sufficient for shipping. Daytime highs in coastal B.C. have been close to 10°C on certain days, but the temperatures are not entirely stable yet. However, we do see encouraging trends developing, please keep in mind our locations tempatures along with yours need to line up properly for our end only Monday forecast is important on your end tuesday-thursday forecasts is what we are looking at "Arrival/Departure windows"
Vancouver/Lower Mainland
The 14-day forecast shows daytime highs near or slightly above 10°C in several instances during this time period. We will be monitoring the overnight low temperatures closely; however, we see potential shipping windows emerging.
Vancouver Island (Victoria/Nanaimo)
This area is showing a very similar trend to the lower mainland. There are warm stretches predicted in the forecast with daytime highs near the 10°C threshold. As long as these trends hold, we believe we will be able to clear some orders shortly.
Kelowna/Interior B.C.
More mixed than the other areas. While warmer afternoons are developing, the nighttime temperatures are still dropping. We are cautiously optimistic for a few potential shipping days if the daytime highs remain consistent.
Calgary/Southern Alberta
I know it's been very cold and I feel for you. The 14-day forecast is showing slow improvement for Calgary/Southern Alberta toward the end of the month. In early March, daytime highs could potentially reach the 9-15°C temperature range. Still not quite where we want to be, but we can see the light.
Edmonton
Still firmly entrenched in the winter season "As usual". For the majority of the next two weeks, most of the daytime highs will be below the temperature threshold required for us to confidently ship live plants.
Saskatoon/Regina
Likely going to remain locked in winter for the foreseeable future. There will be occasional mild afternoons but overall it is unlikely that we will have reliable enough temperatures for live shipments until early to mid-March when we see more consistencies in daytime highs exceeding 10°C.
Winnipeg
Continuing to show cold and steady temperatures. There is a slight possibility of some warming towards the end of the 14-day forecast but nothing consistent enough to allow us to confidently ship.
Toronto/Southern Ontario
You're experiencing extreme variability in terms of freezing/thawing. We are monitoring for an extended period of 10°C+ daytime temperatures. Early indicators are suggesting that late February and early March could provide more reliable shipping opportunities.
Ottawa
Similar to Toronto, Ottawa is also showing a mix of temperatures in the next two weeks. Before we can consider shipping live plants we will need to see a steady increase in daytime high temperatures.
Montreal/Southern Quebec
Still showing winter like temperatures. While we do see occasional warmer days, they are inconsistent and therefore we will be waiting until we see more consistent spring like temperatures before we attempt to ship live plant material.
Halifax/Maritime Region
While milder than central Canada, still experiencing temperature fluctuations. Within the 14-day forecast, we are seeing some daytime highs reaching the 10°C range, which means we may see limited shipping opportunities, provided the current trends persist.
Overall, we are watching the daytime highs and taking each shipment opportunity one at a time. When we can consistently see 10°C+ daytime temperatures at both our location and yours, we will begin to fulfill the backlog of live orders.
Thank you all for your continued patience, Spring is almost here.
