Shipping schedule
At Amarylia, we believe that the journey of a flower bulb is just as vital as the spectacular bloom it eventually produces. When you choose to bring our flowers into your home, you are entrusting us with a living organism that requires care and expertise long before it reaches your doorstep. To honor this trust, we have developed a sophisticated shipping framework that balances botanical health with logistical efficiency, ensuring that every premium Amaryllis arrives in peak condition and ready to thrive.
Our Meticulous Order Processing
The journey begins the moment your order is confirmed in our system. Unlike standard retail goods that sit on shelves, live bulbs require a hands-on approach from horticultural enthusiasts who understand the unique needs of these plants. Our team begins by verifying the availability of your selected varieties in our climate-controlled storage and then proceeds to a thorough manual inspection. Each bulb is checked for firmness, healthy root initials, and signs of proper dormancy to guarantee it has the energy required to produce the vibrant flowers you expect. We meticulously clean and prepare every item, ensuring that only the healthiest, most vigorous bulbs are selected for shipment.
To ensure your bulbs arrive in peak condition, we utilize specialized packaging techniques designed specifically for botanical health:
- Professional Grade Solutions: Transporting live botanical specimens requires more than a standard box. Once our bulbs pass rigorous quality standards, they are secured in specialized, breathable packaging specifically designed to protect live plants.
- Climate & Moisture Control: Our packaging is engineered to regulate airflow and maintain a stable micro-environment. This effectively prevents moisture buildup, which is the primary cause of mold, ensuring your bulbs stay healthy and dry during transit.
- Physical & Weather Protection: This climate-aware approach also provides a vital cushioned barrier against physical shocks and vibrations. It ensures your bulbs remain dormant and protected, regardless of the weather or handling conditions they encounter along the way.

Amarylia is proud to be an international boutique that shares the joy of gardening across borders.

Frequently Asked Questions about delivery
How long will it take for my order to arrive?
After the initial processing period of 5-7 business days, delivery typically takes an additional 3–10 business days, depending on your location within Europe. While we strive for maximum efficiency, please note that remote areas or regions with specific customs procedures may require slightly more time for the package to reach its destination.
How are the bulbs protected during shipping?
We use specialized, reinforced packaging specifically designed for transporting live plants. Our bulbs are nestled in protective layers to cushion them against impact and are insulated to maintain a stable temperature. This ensures they arrive in dormant but perfect condition, protected from both physical damage and extreme temperature fluctuations during their journey.
What should I do once I receive my bulbs if I am not ready to plant them?
As soon as your package arrives, we recommend opening it immediately to allow for fresh air circulation. If you are not ready to plant your Amaryllis right away, store the bulbs in a cool, dry, and dark place with good ventilation. Keeping them in a temperature range of 10-15°C will help maintain their dormancy and ensure they stay healthy until you are ready to start your indoor garden.
What should I do if my bulbs arrive damaged?
While we take every precaution to ensure a safe journey, shipping accidents can occasionally happen. If your bulbs arrive soft, visibly damaged, or broken, please take a clear photo of the product and the packaging and contact our support team at support@amarylia.com within 48 hours of delivery. We prioritize these cases and will arrange a replacement or a refund immediately to ensure your satisfaction.
Can I change my shipping address after placing an order?
We can update your shipping address as long as the order has not yet been dispatched from our facility. Because we process orders quickly to ensure timely delivery, please email us as soon as possible with your order number and the corrected address. Once the package has been handed over to the courier, we are unfortunately unable to redirect it or make further changes.
