How we prepare your order
As soon as your order is confirmed, our team picks your bulbs from our climate-controlled storage in Voorhout, the Netherlands. Each bulb is checked by hand for size, firmness, health and correct dormancy. Your bulbs are then packed in breathable packaging designed for live plants: it prevents moisture build-up, the main cause of mould, and cushions the bulbs against knocks and temperature swings, so they arrive dormant and undamaged.
Delivery times and carriers
We prepare and dispatch orders as quickly as possible. Once your parcel is on its way, delivery usually takes 2–5 working days to Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg and 3–6 working days to the other 22 countries. Remote areas and islands can take a little longer. Depending on your country, your parcel is delivered by DPD, UPS or PostNL.
Shipping costs per country are listed on our shipping costs page and are added automatically at checkout.
Ordering for Christmas
Regular amaryllis bloom 7–10 weeks after planting. For flowers at Christmas, plant them between late October and mid-November. Wax amaryllis bloom in 4–8 weeks without a pot, soil or water, and make an easy Christmas gift: order them by 15 December for delivery before Christmas in most countries.
Frequently asked questions about delivery
When do you ship?
All year round. Amaryllis bulbs are sold dormant, so we can ship them in every season.
How are the bulbs protected during shipping?
We use breathable packaging designed for live plants. The bulbs are cushioned against impact and protected from large temperature changes, so they arrive dormant and in good condition.
What should I do if I'm not ready to plant straight away?
Open the box as soon as it arrives to let fresh air in. Then store the bulbs in a cool (10–15 °C), dry, dark and well-ventilated place until you plant them, ideally within a few weeks. See our planting and care guide.
What should I do if my bulbs arrive damaged?
Take a clear photo of the bulbs and the packaging and email support@amarylia.com within 48 hours of delivery. We will arrange a replacement or a refund straight away.
Can I change my shipping address after ordering?
Yes, as long as your order has not been dispatched. Email us as soon as possible with your order number and the correct address. Once the parcel is with the carrier, we can no longer change the address.
