When it comes to scheduling a flower delivery, important factors come into play. According to Rose and Blossom, approximately $1.9 billion is spent on the purchase of flowers on Mother's day. There are different variations of experiences concerning flower deliveries that various customers attest to. It's important to take into consideration these testimonies, as they will guide you on how and when to schedule your flower delivery. Along with this, you also need to make sure that the flowers you order come from a trustworthy vendor. Here are a few tips you can use to ensure that your flower delivery arrives on time and in perfect condition.

Place the Order on Time

If you are planning to send flowers to someone for a special occasion such as their anniversary or birthday, you will probably want the flowers delivered at a specific date and time. Many flower shops offer specialized services like next-day deliveries since flowers are classified as perishable goods. In most cases, a cutoff time is usually attached to these services. You should check the cutoff time before you place your order, as this will prevent your recipient from getting disappointed. 

If you are placing a flower delivery through an online portal, make sure to double-check the small images and print, as it is a common occurrence for online florists to showcase their flowers and plants in cases or pots in their display images. This doesn't offer assurance that your order will arrive in a case, box, or vase. Most times, these are purchased as extras at the checkout stage.

Add a Delivery Note

If your delivery address is a bit hard to locate, you can add a delivery note to your flower delivery order. Most online flower delivery portals prompt this at checkout. You can add directions, a phone number, and/or information on where to place the flowers if your recipient isn't in their residence. Remember to add a card to let your recipient know who sent them a flower delivery. You can also choose to have your packaging embellished with pearls or ribbons on your bouquet.

Plan and Pick a Suitable Time for Delivery

If the person you are planning to send flowers to works during morning hours, it makes perfect sense to pick afternoon hours as an ideal time to have the flowers delivered and vice versa. Doing this ensures that they are at home when the flower delivery arrives. However, if they work on a full-time basis, you should have a backup plan in place. You can have the delivery dropped off at a neighboring address or their workplace.
