Shipping Dates
IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFO:
All orders are Pre-Orders...new Dahlia/Summer Bulb pre-orders are expected to be dispatched early/mid October.
We're currently smack bang in the middle of our hectic Summer bulb harvest (we're all out playing in the mud!) - at this stage we expect to have completed the Potato harvest around late July, and the Dahlia/summer bulb harvest around late August, with the curing, sorting, grading, counting and the eventual dispatch of your wee box of goodies (sometimes not so wee!) to follow soon after.
Due to the number of Dahlia/Summer pre-orders received so far (10,000+ of them!), we expect to be dispatching Dahlia/Summer bulbs from now until the end of October.
We generally pump out around 300 to 400 orders a day through our frantic dispatch months (August, September, October), and we do so (mostly) in the order that we receive them - the exception being that some varieties are harvested before others, so if your order contains varieties that are harvested later in the season, then your order will be pushed back to later in the season.
If your order is for Edibles only, we would expect to have your order on the courier within 7 days.
If your order contains Dahlia/Summer bulbs, we expect to be dispatching these all the way through to late October.
-
If your order doesn't contain any Bulbs (ie perhaps you have just ordered some fert, gloves, Soap etc) then please just flick us an email so that we can get these out to you sooner
We'll be keeping this page updated with more accurate delivery times throughout the season, so please make sure you keep checking back :-)
Thanks,
The Gravatts, and the rest of the Bulbs Direct Fam.

Delivery update as of 02/09/25
Pre-orders from 20 July (the first day of Dahlia sales!) - believe it or not, we received well over 5,000 orders on this day alone! (over 2,000 in the first minute. Wowzer). We've now dispatched 92% of these orders, with the remainder to be dispatched between now and mid September (some of these pre-orders are held up by either the Ball mix or the Pompom mix... these were the last rows to be harvested, so they still haven't dried enough to process yet)
July 21 to end of July pre-orders - we've made a start on these, with about 36% already dispatched. We expect the remainder to be dispatched between now and September 20th.
Early August to mid August pre-orders - at this stage, it's looking like we will dispatch these around late September. Again, some varieties are ready before others, so if you happen to order something that is already harvested, there is a slight possibility of receiving them earlier than this.
Mid August to late August pre-orders - we expect to be dispatching these late September/Early October.
All new Pre-orders - we expect to be dispatching these early to mid October.
