Their plants are always top quality, but their prices...  I window shop at their ebay listings and then find them cheaper from other vendors. I was kinda looking forward to a combined shipping sort of thing, but looks like they're just following their pricing from ebay. Shipping... the thorn in every orchid grower's side. |

Hawaii is a 5-some hour flight from Los Angeles or San Francisco.

If you've never ordered from Kawamoto...rest assured, their plants are worth every penny they ask.
They are typically very large, mature/bloom-size or very close to BS, and exceptionally healthy orchids. If they have something that needs to come live w/me...I never balk at the asking price.
As for the shipping prices...it's 2 day express w/Fedex and the price really isn't bad for that service. Plus, I love the *real* tracking...unlike what we get w/USPS. Personally, I usually choose 2nd day express shipping w/most vendors and I often pay more for plants shipped from locations much closer than HI.

I thought the shipping was included in the price.
Their show prices are very reasonable; add shipping to that and it could be the online prices.

Yes it is. The shipping is built into the price.
I also agree that their show pricing is almost a bargain. You can get some great deals from them if you happen to be where they are visiting a show.

Yes, both on the home page, and shipping info page, it says "free shipping" - so, I imagine that increases the plant price a bit ...

I want a greenhouse large enough to house a Grammatophyllum collection.

Pricy if you are buying more than one plant then.
I often struggle selecting multiple plants to meet minimum orders or shipping discounts.
