We all know that fuel cost have almost doubled.  So even though it is painful to report , it is amazing that shipping costs are up an average of 33% and not a 100%.  The other piece of good news is that fuel prices seem to be coming down and we are still four months away from shipping trees.  We can only hope that everything will work out for a great shipping season.

Cool Springs Nursery has several dedicated trucking companies that work with us extensively on getting the best prices to all our customers.  Mark the vice president of Cool Springs has great expertise in shipping and is the director for global logistics for Baxter Corporation at North Cove.  Mark manages 125 employees and ships 120 truck loads of I.V. fluids and pharmaceuticals every day.  We feel this helps us deliver Christmas trees at the lowest cost and on time to our customers.
