Q: How do I know if the product I want is available?
A: Our customers tell us what they want, the size they want it in and when they want it.  We do the rest.  We search our data base of existing suppliers or search for new suppliers. If the product is not available when you want it or at the price or size you need it, we will either get that item contract grown for you with your specific needs in mind, or offer you a substitute.  In any case, you will receive an order acknowledgement indicating item, quantity, size, ship date and price.  This will enable you to double check your order.

Q:  What if I am not satisfied with my order?
A: On rare occasions product arrives with sub-standard quality.  If the product was damaged during shipment a freight claim will be filed by either M&M or the supplier.  If the product itself shows up damaged, other than by the freight company, the supplier will be notified.  In either case, M&M needs to be notified immediately.  Waiting longer than 2 business days renders the complaint invalid and the customer will be responsible for full payment.  If the complaint is deemed valid, restitution will be made in the form of replacement product or credit.

Q: Can I buy direct from a supplier?
A: Most suppliers will not sell direct to a grower, only selling through their broker network.  Some suppliers will sell directly to growers if you contact them.  In this instance you will pay the same price, and sometimes a less expensive price by working through a broker rather than going direct.  We do not typically offer product from suppliers where this is not the case, although as a matter of customer request and convenience we will.

Q: Why do I need a plant broker?
A: Our job is solely to search and find those products that you need to make your business grow and be profitable.  We make the process easy, taking out all the headaches of searching, shipping and receiving your product.  You simply place the order and then anticipate arrival.  If there is any sort of discrepancy at all we are the ones who solve the problem. A broker enables you to deal directly with only one company versus building a relationship with multiple companies.
