What happens if the person isn't home?
We use a specialised urgent/fragile courier to deliver our flowers to ensure the proper care is taken with the delivery. If there is no one home to receive the delivery then the flowers will be left in a safe location. If there is not a safe location for the delivery to be left and you have supplied a phone number with your delivery, our couriers will contact the recipient directly. If this is unsuccessful, the courier will contact us to make further arrangements.
Our flowers are packaged in a temporary water source that is sufficient for two days to ensure your flowers are in the best condition when they're received.
I selected the wrong address, what happens now?
If we are supplied the incorrect address and it isn't rectified before the delivery has left our store, we may require you to pay for another delivery charge to redirect the order. If your gift has already been successfully delivered to an incorrect address, you will be required to pay for a replacement delivery. It is imperative you provide us with the correct address and a contact phone number to avoid this happening.
