Why do you charge for shipping instead of offering free delivery?
At Growers Hub®, we believe in fair, transparent pricing. Here’s why we charge for shipping:
Lower Product Prices:
We keep our retail prices lower by not inflating them to cover "free shipping."
Live Courier Rates:
We use a shipping app that connects directly with courier companies to display live, real-time rates at checkout.
In summary: You see exactly what it costs to send your parcel, We don’t add any extra charges or handling fees & the final pricing you receive is calculated based on your location, order size, and weight.
How do I track my order?
You'll receive a tracking email after your order is packed and the courier is booked.
Didn’t get an email? It may be because:
You used a phone number to check out
The email landed in your junk/spam folder
Please note: tracking is provided by third-party courier services and may not always be 100% accurate.
When will my order be dispatched?
Orders placed before 2PM (Mon–Fri) usually ship the same day.
We’re closed on weekends and public holidays—weekend orders are dispatched Monday.
