I live in Miami and this mint green is very reminiscent of our views here. I bought two umbrellas to give to two family members who were visiting and they were so surprised to even know such great design would come in this vibrant color. Shipping is a bit of a mystery I'm afraid. If you're purchasing, you won't really know when you'll get the shipment until the day it is dropped off at your locaiton. There is no estimated day of arrival. This said, packaging and and presentation are worth the three week wait. Umbrella heads come carefully wrapped in bubblewrap to avoid any damages in shipping. Umbrellas also came in a little bag that said "I'm compostable" which was very soft to the touch. Overall a pleasant sensory experience. I would purchase again.
