The truth behind boxed flowers
There are many companies that take orders for flower delivery where the flowers are sent by post. Normally a third party courier company offers an easy and convenient way to ship out flowers for the sending company.
Usually these delivery companies are not specialists in delivering flowers so can offer no care or advice on the product. In recent years many Independent UK Florists have been under pressure from the increase in flowers bought from many large retailers, supermarkets and online flower sellers sending flowers by post.
These companies make bouquets in great numbers in a production line setting, they then box the flowers and have them delivered by post or third party couriers.
So what’s a better options?
Many independent florists can now take your orders online, but differentiate themselves from the competition by delivering them in person and thus ensuring they arrive in tip top condition. You can use our ‘Find a Florist’ service to locate the florist able to deliver flowers for you. When ordering flowers for delivery, do look for phrases like ‘Hand delivered’ or ‘delivered by a florist’ this way you can avoid disappointment and be sure your order in the safe hands of an expert.
