FAQs

Delivery Info
Can you deliver at a specific time?

We can't guarantee it, but we'll do our best! Just add a note in the Special Instructions section. For example, say "deliver before 3:00 PM, she leaves work then." That way the driver will know to make it a priority.

Can you deliver my order on Sunday?

We’re up for the challenge! If there’s a flower shop open on Sunday in the recipient’s area, we’ll be happy to place your order for Sunday delivery. Just be sure to place your order by 12:00 PM in the recipient’s time zone at the latest. In fact, the sooner you order, the better!

Can you deliver my order today?

Need to send flowers for a last minute gift? Never fear – we’re here to save the day! As long as you place your flower order before 2:00 p.m. in your recipient’s time zone Monday-Friday (12:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday), we can get your flowers there the same day for only $2.99 extra. Order same-day delivery now.

Can you deliver to a gated community, secure building or military base?

Of course we can…with a little anticipation! Be sure you give us a daytime phone number for the person receiving the flowers. Two phone numbers are twice as nice! And put a note in the Special Instructions section of the order to let us know it’s a secure area or building. Some facilities will allow delivery to a gate guard or main office, so let us know if that’s an option.

Can you deliver to a hospital?

Nothing beats flowers and balloons to brighten a hospital room! We will deliver a beautiful bouquet or green plant to the front desk at the hospital. A hospital employee or volunteer will take it from there. Check out our sunny, cheerful selections now. Read our guide to sending hospital flowers to learn about ICU and patients who have been discharged policy.

Can you schedule a delivery at a specific time for a funeral?

Absolutely! Sympathy arrangements take priority in the florist business. If you say, for example, “memorial service at 11:00 AM,” we’ll make a special effort to deliver the arrangement the day before or early in the morning.

What do you do if there’s no one home when you deliver?

It depends on what YOU prefer! Usually the florists instruct delivery drivers to bring the flowers back to the shop for safekeeping. If you prefer that we leave your gift with a neighbor, in the Special Instructions section of the order type “If no one’s at home, leave it with a neighbor.” In either case, the recipient will be notified with a message on the door or a voice mail from the florist.

Will you leave an arrangement on the porch or front step?

We will, but usually we’d rather not. Hot sun, wind, freezing temps, dogs and cats can wreak havoc on your gift very quickly. Of course, we’ll honor your request if you put a note in the Special Instructions section saying “please leave it at the door if no one is at home.” Or if the shop has contacted the recipient and knows they will be home soon, they might make an exception.

Product Questions
How can I request no substitutions on my order?

If you are absolutely certain you want NO substitutions, send us an email from the customer service page, or call us at 800-493-5610. But keep in mind, we can’t guarantee that there will be no substitutions as florists in your recipient’s area may not have all of the flowers for your arrangement. We recommend that you allow for an extra 24 hours so that we can do our best to place your order with a florist who has everything needed for your order.

How many ounces are the chocolates?

We do not have measurements on the exact weight. Many florists use local chocolatiers to assure the freshest and highest quality chocolate possible and size may vary based on location and the brand selected.

How many pieces of chocolates come in a box?

Not allowing our designers to make substitutions can sometimes result in a delay in the delivery.
