Frequently Asked Questions
Shipping
- How do you ship your planters?
Unless you specify otherwise we will ship by FedEx Freight. If this is inconvenient for you we will be happy to work with you on other shipping arrangements.
- How much should I expect to pay for shipping?
The average cost for shipping a planter is around $100.00 but it can vary a great deal based upon the destination.
- How long should it take for my planter to arrive?
Your planter should arrive in approximately one week--if they are in stock. It could take longer if they are out of stock or it needs to be shipped over a long distance.
- Will I have to pay sales tax?
No. Implements sold for agricultural use are not subject to Indiana state sales tax.
- What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept money orders and certified checks paid either before shipping or when you pick up the planter at our location.
We also will accept your personal check but we'll have to hold the planter for ten days so your bank can process the check.
- What is your return policy?
We will accept returns only if the planter or one of the accessories is defective.
- Do you offer a warranty with your planters?
Currently neither the factory nor Guenthenspberger Farms offers a warranty.
