*Please note that deliveries in our extended radius (i.e. New Jersey, Staten Island, Westchester, and Long Island) may have restricted delivery days/timeslots. These restrictions will be noted at checkout when you are selecting your delivery date/time.  

Delivery Process:
Please make sure that the contact phone number provided at checkout is a valid U.S. cell phone number to allow you to receive all day-of delivery notifications. Please be reachable at this number for the full duration of your delivery window.  The day-of communication process will be as follows:

 

Stay up-to-date with the status of your delivery:

1. When our delivery elves are on the way to your location, you will receive an SMS message with a tracking link at the contact phone number you provide at checkout. 

2. Using this link you will be able to view the location of your driver and estimated time of arrival in real time (once they have initiated your delivery). 

3. You will receive another SMS message when the driver has arrived at your location. We ask for your patience - sometimes it can be tricky to find parking! 🎅

4. Our team will give the tree a fresh cut and prep it in the tree stand before bringing it into your home. 


Our team will phone the phone number you provided if assistance is needed to gain entry to your home or building. If there is no answer they will leave a voicemail. The team will wait five minutes and call the number again. If there is no answer on the second attempt, our team will move on to their next scheduled delivery. There is a $50 re-delivery fee to schedule a new delivery appointment or a 50% cancellation fee to cancel the order. 

Certificate of Insurance (COI):
If your building requires a COI for delivery, NYC TREES will provide one for a $10 fee. You will need to add this to your cart at the time of tree purchase. Our team will need a minimum of two business days to process the COI request. To request a COI, please follow the steps below to ensure a seamless delivery process:

  1. Check with your building if a COI is required. If so, you will need to request a sample COI from them with their specific requirements. We must have that information in order to process your COI. 
  2. At the time of placing your order, please add the COI request to your cart for purchase.
  3. When selecting your delivery window, please allow for a minimum of two business days between the time the order is placed and the time of your desired delivery to allow enough time for us to secure the COI from our insurance company prior to delivery. 
  4. You will receive an automatic email requiring action on your part to submit your COI. If you have questions regarding COI requirements contact info@nyctrees.com. After we receive the sample from you, we will reply with the official COI that you pass along to your building. 

Please note: If our team arrives for a scheduled tree delivery and is turned away by the building because a COI has not been requested in advance there will be a $50 re-delivery fee.

Cancellation / Rescheduling Policy:

Order Rescheduling:
Any changes to your appointment date/time must be made before 5:00 PM the day prior to delivery by calling (914) 809-0795 or emailing info@nyctrees.com. Reschedule requests after 5:00 PM are subject to a $50 rescheduling fee. 

Order Cancellation:

  • Order cancellations made prior to 48hrs before the start of your delivery window will be fully refunded.  
  • Order cancellations made between 48hrs - 24hrs before the start of your delivery window will be subject to a 25% cancellation fee. 
  • Order cancellations made less than 24hrs before the start of your delivery window will be subject to a 50% cancellation fee. 

Returns & Refunds Policy:

Refunds:
Due to the nature of our seasonal business, we can not offer refunds on live trees. Please remember that your tree is a living thing and no two trees react the same once cut from the fields and brought into a warm interior environment. If you feel that your tree is really not up to the quality you expected from us, contact us and let us know your concerns. We may ask you to take photos of the tree which will allow us to resolve the problem quickly and efficiently.

 

Cut Christmas trees are perishable items – all trees, even premium grade Fraser Firs that deserve Capitalization, will dry out and shed their needles eventually. How long a given tree lasts will depend on various factors such as the amount watered, heat and humidity, but ultimately trees are natural products and the longevity of ‘freshness’ will vary from tree to tree. Even a tree that is well looked after may dry out and droop a bit quicker than expected. Unless this degradation is extremely unusual or rapid, then we cannot provide refunds.

 

Please note that minor damage to branches, particularly lower branches, can occur during transit and is not cause for a return/refund unless it causes significant detriment to the overall quality of the tree.

 

Returns:
Our trees are cut to order, so cannot be returned. If there is a genuine issue with the tree itself, such as the wrong tree being sent or where there is significant damage to the tree rendering it unfit for purpose, we will look to resolve it with a tree replacement or swap. If the rare occurrence of a stubborn tree that refuses to drink and there is obvious rapid degradation your tree will be swapped out with another tree for free within 7 days after delivery. Due to the many factors in play and the fact that the tree is cut from its roots at the farm and is perishable, we can no longer swap your tree after 7 days. If you wish to order a new tree after this point we can remove the old tree for free and sell you another tree at a 50% discount.
