Local Florist Delivery

Due to flowers being perishable goods we must make delivery on the date and time requested by the customer and cannot be held responsible if the resident is out at the time of delivery. We will leave a calling card at the address to advise where the flowers have been delivered to if left with a neighbour. If the property features a covered / secure location we will leave the flowers at the property, delivered in water.
