Bulbs Discounts
To encourage group and co-op orders, we offer the following volume discounts on orders we receive by the August 5, 2022 discount deadline:
5% on orders $100 and up
10% on orders $300 and up
15% on orders $600 and up
20% on orders $1200 and up
Discounts are calculated from the order Subtotal of all items (before adding shipping or tax).
Orders received after August 5, 2022 do not earn volume discounts and you should expect some items to have sold out; check our availability page for up-to-date info.
Consumer Member Discount: Consumer members of the Cooperative earn a 1% discount on all orders. If you log in using the email address we have in our member database, the discount will apply automatically. If you are a member and the discount does not appear, please write us a note in the Order Comments space on the final checkout page; we will verify and refund you as appropriate.
Group orders: We take group orders online or by mail. Only one shipping charge (if any), and the group’s Subtotal determines the discount (if any). We make one shipment (or more , if you’ve got early shipment items or late shipment items) to one address with members’ orders individually packed and labeled. Group pickup orders are to be picked up all at once. As with all Fedco orders, a second order over $50 from the same group earns the same discount level as the first. Group coordinators and group members click here for info, including how to form a new group.
Bulbs Deadlines
The final order date for early shipment items is August 5, 2022.
The discount deadline is also Friday, August 5, 2022.
Friday, August 19, 2022, is the final order date.
Payment
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover cards, and Fedco gift certificates. Payment must accompany all orders. (Except, government agencies and non-profit organizations should call us to set up your Purchase Order before you order.)
For mailed orders, we accept checks and money orders as well as cards.
We will charge your card when we receive your order. We will bill or refund you for any adjustments as each order is completed.
Sales tax
Orders shipped to Maine addresses and all pickup customers pay 5.5% sales tax. Because of the Supreme Court decision in June 2018, we must collect local taxes in states that require us to do so.
TAX EXEMPT? Farms and retailers: We need a copy of your state resale certificate or farm exemption, otherwise we must charge sales tax.
- For mail orders, send us a photocopy of your certificate.
- For online orders, please email us at questions@fedcoseeds.com with a scan of your tax exemption certificate before placing your order.

Early and Late Shipment items are shipped at their respective times and are not available for pickup.
We will not be hosting our annual sale this year; however, there may be surplus stock for sale when you pick up your order.
Substitutions
With live plant material, there are inevitably unforeseen shortages. We find that most people prefer getting bulbs to getting a refund. There are two checkboxes on the order form: one to accept or decline a variety substitute, and one to accept Eco-grown garlic in lieu of certified organic. When you indicate “Yes” to substitutions, if a variety becomes unavailable, we will follow this protocol, subject to availability:
- Substitute a flower of similar color, form and season.
- Substitute a garlic of similar class and form.
- Send Eco-grown garlic of the same or similar type.
For all substitutions, we will refund any price difference.
