Damage

2.0 While our flowers are packed carefully to ensure they arrive as fresh and beautiful as when they left us, on a small number of occasions (and for reasons beyond our control) they may get damaged in transit. Should this occur to a level that you deem unacceptable, please do contact us so that we can arrange a free replacement at our next available delivery date, or a refund. Please note that you will need to email us a photo of the damaged flowers in question within 72 hours of receipt of the flowers if possible.

If we offer you a refund, we will refund you the full amount within 5 days.

Returns

Please understand that due to the perishable nature of flowers, we are unable to accept returns on flowers and plants. We offer customers refunds or replacement flowers if the flowers are not delivered to an acceptable quality, as detailed above. For all non-perishable goods please contact directly to receive a pre-paid return bag and a full refund will be completed on return of the order.
