There are several factors that will affect the final price of a bouquet.
There are multiple ways you can send flowers to someone special, from same-day delivery to climate-controlled delivery to keep your flower order fresh.
Many flower delivery services offer same-day delivery if consumers order early enough in the day. Flowers delivered the same day they were ordered will often be delivered by a local florist, even if you order them online from a national company. Prepare to pay extra for same-day delivery.
If you want the recipient to receive their flowers already arranged in a vase, look for a company that partners with local florists who hand deliver the bouquets.
Some companies ship flowers directly to the recipient from exotic locations, and these may offer a wider variety of choices than local florists. Flowers shipped from a long distance usually arrive in a well-insulated box and are delivered by shipping services like UPS or FedEx.
Some online flower delivery services send flowers internationally. These companies will be helpful if you have loved ones or business associates overseas.
To be their freshest, flowers should be shipped in a cool environment. Many flower delivery companies also offer food items, like chocolate or cookies. Ask about refrigeration during shipping to make sure your gift arrives in its intended condition.
Before placing an order with a florist, consider flower variety, freshness and the florist's overall customer service.
With online options available, you’ll have many choices of bouquets. You can browse websites to see examples of what all the options look like.
Freshness plays an important role in how long bouquets last and how they look when they arrive.
Choose a company with a reputation for providing excellent customer service so you can get help if there are any problems with your order.
The cost of flower delivery varies by company and type of delivery. Flower delivery services can be as low as $20, but the number and type of flowers you choose and upgraded delivery options can bring the cost as high as $100 or more.
Many local florists and internet-based flower companies offer flower delivery services. When you want to send a bouquet to someone:
The earlier you make your purchase, the better the chances the flowers will arrive on time. If possible, get a tracking number to follow delivery progress.
Once you choose your online flower delivery website, you can browse the website’s flower options and add them to your online cart. Some online flower delivery services also offer extras, like chocolate or balloons. Once you’re ready to check out, proceed to delivery options and make payment.
Many florists and online flower delivery services offer same-day delivery, although it costs significantly more. Keep in mind that on holidays when flowers are popular, like Valentine’s Day, it is going to be more difficult to schedule same-day delivery.
Yes, many online flower delivery websites can send flowers internationally. Prices range from $40 to upward of $200, depending on location and bouquet.
Yes, it is possible to ship fresh flowers in the mail. Many online flower delivery companies ship their flowers. Make sure flowers are shipped carefully so they aren’t damaged in transit.
Each florist or flower company has its own policy on what happens if the recipient isn’t available to take delivery. A local store may return the flowers to its shop and leave a note to contact the florist to arrange a better time. UPS, FedEx or the U.S. Postal Service may call the recipient to ask for instruction or leave the flowers with a neighbor and put a note on the door.
It depends on the time of year you are buying flowers.
Other long-lasting flowers include carnations, lilies, orchids and delphiniums.
