Delivering Flowers

Yes, you can get flowers delivered the same day. Please order by 3pm for same-day local delivery. If you want flowers rushed over, please give us a call on (03) 9813 1916. We will try our best to accommodate your specific requests.

To make sure everyone stays safe, we will try our best to minimise contact through the following procedures:

  • drivers will not be required to collect signatures on delivery
  • drivers will knock on the door and leave the delivery at the doorstep in order to avoid close contact where possible and if deemed safe by the driver to do so
  • drivers delivering to businesses will leave deliveries with reception where possible
  • some drivers (at their discretion) may wear face masks and/or gloves
  • drivers coming onto our premises are using hand sanitiser
  • florists are wearing masks, practising social distancing and hygiene best-practices to stay safe

We deliver locally as well as most suburbs in Melbourne. Please visit our suburb delivery list to find out more.

Flowers are delivered between 9am and 5pm to business addresses and between 9am and 7pm to residential addresses. Drivers pick up at various times in the day.

To ensure prompt delivery, we need to know, for example, flat numbers, business name (if applicable), hospital name with room number and ward name. When placing your order online there is a section for you to add any special instructions. For example, “please enter from the side gate”, or “the recipient can’t move quickly, please be patient,” or, “please call the recipient to arrange a suitable delivery time”.

We understand that sometimes you want your flower order to arrive a specific time, so we always try our best to ensure your flowers are delivered when you want. Please call (03) 9813 1916 and we will try to help with your personal request.

Residential Addresses
The driver is instructed to leave the flowers safe, and in the shade, if there is no one home to receive them. If there is no safe place, we will attempt to contact you or the recipient (if you have left us instructions to do so) to receive further instructions. Should a re-delivery or re-direction be necessary, we will need to charge a re-delivery fee equal to the standard delivery charge for the suburb of re-delivery.
Business/Hospital Addresses
If accepted, the driver will leave the flowers with reception, mailroom or co-worker. If we have been advised that the recipient is not at the specified location because they have left for the day or checked-out, we will attempt to contact you to make alternative arrangements. If we are unable to make contact, the flowers may have to be returned to the store. If the flowers are in a vase of water or in a box arrangement where they sit in a container of water, we may leave the flowers at the specified location. Unfortunately, we will contact you to pay for the additional delivery charges.

In many larger businesses and hospitals, it may be their policy for deliveries to be left with reception or at a mailroom to be passed on to the recipient. In these cases, the driver will leave as instructed and by the destination address policies. Due to being outside our boundary of control, we cannot accept responsibility if the gift was subsequently not passed on to the recipient by reception, the mailroom or a co-worker who accepted it on behalf of the recipient. If you would like to know if your gift was received, please give us a call and we can provide you with that information. Ph: (03) 9813 1916.

  1. Name, address and mobile number of the recipient
  2. Access to the front door to be able to leave safe. For example, if there is a tall brick fence with a security entrance, and no-one is home, we cannot leave the gift somewhere safe. In this case, we will have to reach out to the recipient to arrange a suitable time for delivery.  We may need contact you to pay for the re-delivery service.
  3. For hospital deliveries, it’s important for you to make sure the recipient is going to be at the hospital on the day of delivery.

The flowers we stock and use in our arrangements are very fresh. We have been buying flowers since 1992, so our knowledge of flowers is exceptional. Flowers are handpicked by our flower buyer, who has 30 years experience, so they know how to choose the best quality flowers. Our business network includes flower growers, wholesalers and plant nurseries. We take pride in our work and only want the best quality flower gifts to be sent. This means the recipient will enjoy the flowers for an extended period of time. An image of the flowers is sent to you before they are delivered. You will see that most of the flowers are in bud form. This means that the recipient will be able to watch them open. We also send care instructions with all flower gifts to ensure they are enjoyed for the longest possible time.

You can expect your flowers to last around 5-7 days, but usually they will last much longer.

Some flowers last longer than others, and some actually dry quite nicely too. For flowers to last longer it’s really important to give them some loving attention. Visit our flower care guide.

We are very conscious that the flowers you choose will always look great in terms of how they are gift wrapped, how they are arranged and how many flowers are in the arrangement you choose. The description lets you know the minimum number of flower stems your arrangement will have when ordering your flowers. Our regular customers know they are getting value for money, and that’s why they keep coming back! We don’t use a relay service which means all you are only paying for are the flowers and gifts, and a delivery service. We are a family-owned flower shop business, which means we can offer flower arrangements at value for money and consistency of quality.

Flowers are a product of nature and grow according to seasons. Sometimes we will need to substitute flowers, but be sure that we will carefully select the most beautiful seasonal flowers and expertly handcraft your arrangement. You can request to have an image of the flowers sent to you before the flowers are delivered.

We can guarantee that your flowers will last around 5-7 days, maybe a little longer depending on the flower variety and how well the flowers are taken care of. Please visit our flower care guide to get the most out of your flowers.
