Can you ship a real Christmas tree?

If you plan to send a real Christmas tree to someone, bear in mind that it is a plant that needs plenty of water. The base of the trunk must be moist, otherwise, the needles will start drying sooner. It is recommended to keep potted and freshly-cut Christmas trees away from direct heat or sunlight. We suggest booking a direct courier service as this is the fastest and most secure transport method. Since the vehicle is dedicated to your load only, you can take advantage of empty space in the van to send other gifts to your recipient as a surprise.
