How We Ship:

One of the top questions we get, especially on Amazon is, “How do you ship these things?” We lay them out flat in custom made boxes! We use gentle packing material to limit movement during shipping.. We ship literally thousands of mums per year, we have tested many ways to ship them and are continually updating the best way to get your product to you safely and beautifully. We hate to work so hard creating your master piece just to put it in a box, so we take great care in our work. Full mums ship in a 3 foot long box.
