You’ve probably noticed that we’re quite proud of our ability to deliver flowers to over 100 countries around the world. If you’ve never tried sending flowers around the globe you’re probably wondering what it takes to make a delivery a success and what actually happens to get your bouquet to its destination. We’re going to explain all today and demystify how to make an international flower delivery and what you should expect.
This the only part you really need to worry about when sending bouquets around the world. No matter if you’re sending flowers from the United States to China or from Australia to the UK the process is broadly the same. Once you’ve chosen the bouquet that’s just right for you, most flower delivery companies only really need to know these 3 things. Where it’s going, when it’s going to arrive and if you want to add something extra to improve the surprise.
Once your order is made, then it’s time for the florist to get to work. This may vary a little based on the company you’re using and the country you’re delivering to. For example with companies like Interflora, deliveries are prepared and sent by local florists in flower shops around the world.
We also do that for many of our orders but also offer the option of delivering flowers hand-prepared by our own master florists. We have bouquet creation centres across Western Europe. This allows us to send our specially prepared floral arrangements directly to your loved ones on the continent.
In both cases, your bouquet will be prepared no more than 48 hours in advance of delivery and composed of the freshest flowers.
Depending on the type of order chosen in step 2 your surprise will either be delivered by the florist themselves or by courier. When we deliver flowers by courier we normally send a pre-prepared bouquet in our branded box with a little water and food to keep it fresh on its travels.
In the case of a delivery made by a local florist, they might use a local courier to get your arrangement to your special someone’s home. Sometimes, however, the florist may deliver the bouquet themselves or using their own delivery van.
This is easily the best part of any international flower delivery. The arrival of your fresh flowers to the home of your loved one. Whether it’s a complete surprise or they’re expecting it. There’s no feeling quite as exhilarating as seeing the bouquet for the first time in all its glory.
Whilst it’s something everyone does their best to avoid, something things don’t go to plan. If this happens to you. Don’t panic! There’s always help on hand. At FloraQueen all you need to do is make contact with our customer service team if your flowers haven’t arrived or you want to make a change to an order, they’ll help you investigate and find a solution.
Flower deliveries are nothing new, but sending them over such long distances has certainly come a long way. Luckily today, wherever you are in the world surprising with flowers has never been easier.
