Most people order flowers to be delivered in honor of a special occasion. If your flowers don’t arrive on the correct day, or if the order isn’t exactly what you were hoping for, it can be a huge disappointment. To ensure your delivery arrives on time and in good shape, follow the tips below.

4 Florist Delivery Ordering Tips

1. Check Your Address

If you order online, make sure you have typed your zip code and street name correctly. If you place the order by phone, ask the person who takes your order to repeat your address back to you.

2. Get Tracking Information

Ask how your flowers will be delivered and when they are expected to arrive. Request a tracking number or confirmation number, and find out if you can track your order online or by phone to make sure it reaches its destination according to schedule.

3. Note Special Instructions

Inform your florist if the delivery person will need a code to enter a gated community or if they must check in with security at a subdivision entrance. If there is anything else that could impede delivery, like extra construction or road detours in the area, make a note of that, too.

4. Make Sure Someone Is There to Receive the Delivery

Try to plan a delivery around when the recipient or another household member will be home. If the person you are sending flowers to works during the day, it might be better to have the arrangement delivered to an office where someone will be there to receive it. Although some florists will leave a delivery on a doorstep or with a neighbor, there is no guarantee the flowers won’t be affected by weather conditions or that a neighbor will remember to deliver them to the proper person in a timely manner.
