Peonies are hand cut at peak of freshness.  They are immediately chilled and stored at 33 to 34 degrees. When your shipping date arrives, we carefully pack peony stems in the box.  Because FedEx was over whelmed last season and shipping failures were common, for the time being, prefer to ship via Alaska Air Cargo which has coolers at it's hubs and can maintain the cold chain.  We charge $15 fee for packaging materials and box.  If we resume shipping with FedEx, peonies are shipped overnight and generally received within 24 hours of shipping.  Unless you have Saturday FedEx service our shipping is Monday through Thursday. We dry ship peonies as we have found that they last better in shipping, please read "Waking Your Peonies" (click here).  It takes 24 hours to 36 hours for a peony bud to fully bloom. So when you order select a shipping date a minimum of 3 days prior to your event to allow for delays in shipping and blooming and also allow for FedEx not operating on Saturday or Sunday in your location.  See FAQ "Picking a Shipping Date" for an example.
