Can you source flowers that are not on the website?

We will always do our best to source whatever flowers you are after. Should you be looking for a variety that isn’t currently on site, please email us with the name of the flower variety that you are interested in ordering along, with the quantity required (in stems). Once we have this information, our product team will be able to look into whether this is a variety we can get hold of for you. Please note, minimum stem counts will apply and access to specific varieties is seasonally dependent.

Can I amend or cancel my order?

Once you have shopped with us, we are happy to make changes or cancel your order if possible. Should you want to edit the gift message, change the delivery date or address,  please get in contact with our customer care team no later than 24 hours before your original delivery date. Please note, you may not be able to make changes to these details if the flowers are already out for delivery, but we will always do our best to accommodate your request where possible.
Should you wish to cancel your order, please allow no less than 36 business hours before your chosen delivery date. If a lesser period of notice is given, we will only be able to supply a refund if we have not started preparing your order. We cannot accept cancellations for next-day or same-day orders. 

Do you ever substitute flower varieties?

Due to the nature of our fresh flowers, there may be some occasions – including availability and quality control –  where we have to substitute your chosen flower variety. If this happens, we will always choose the next closest shade and/or style as a swap. If we feel that the colour or variety is very different from what you’ve ordered or we need to choose a different product entirely, we will always alert you in advance of your delivery. Please note, appropriate substitutions may be made when flowers are reaching the end of their season.

How will my flowers be packaged?

Your FLOWERBX order will arrive in one of two ways, depending on where in the UK we are delivering to. 

FOR LONDON DELIVERY

Your flowers will be wrapped in our signature FLOWERBX paper and delivered directly to your door. If you are sending your flowers as a gift, they will be wrapped with our FLOWERBX branded ribbon and gift bag, along with your personalised gift message. All flowers will arrive with a hydrated water pad around the stems to keep them as fresh as possible in transit.

FOR NATIONAL DELIVERY

Your flowers will be wrapped in our signature FLOWERBX paper and delivered in a secure branded box. If you are sending your flowers as a gift, they will be wrapped with our FLOWERBX branded ribbon along with your personalised gift message. All flowers will arrive with a hydrated water pad around the stems to keep them as fresh as possible in transit.

I haven’t received an order confirmation email, what should I do?

If you haven’t received an order confirmation email within a few minutes of completing payment, then please double check your junk folder in case it has been routed there. Should this be the case, you may need to mark us a ‘safe sender’ to ensure all future emails are directed to your inbox. If your order confirmation isn’t there, please get in touch with our customer care team who will be able to assist. 

My flowers have arrived and I’m not happy with their quality and freshness. What should I do?

Optimum freshness and industry-leading quality are some of our proudest accolades, so should you receive a bouquet that does not meet these high standards, we would love to help. Please send an email to our customer care team  within 72 hours of receipt, who will be able to assess your flowers and, if agreeable, process a refund or replacement on the next available delivery date on your behalf. If you have ordered accessories from us and you are not happy about the condition in which they have been delivered to you, please contact our team to discuss further.

FLOWER SUBSCRIPTIONS

I’d love to start a flower subscription. How do they work? 

We are pleased to offer FLOWERBX subscriptions for delivery across the UK, allowing flower lovers to experience the season's best varieties with each bouquet. To get started,  it’s as easy as the below: 

  • Select your arrangement option, from Classic, Premium, or Rose or one of our seasonal favourites.
  • Choose a size, between medium or large. Please note, the Rose subscription is available in a standard size.
  • Pick a subscription type, from personal or gift.
  • Select the length of your subscription. You may select a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription, or opt for an ongoing gift subscription. Please note, personal subscriptions are ongoing.
  • Decide on a delivery frequency. Whether it’s weekly, fortnightly or monthly, there’s something for everyone. You’ll enjoy complimentary delivery every time, plus a bestselling vase alongside your first bunch.
  • To complete your subscription, choose a payment option, set your first delivery date and then head to your checkout.

 

Can I personalise my subscription with flowers of my choice?

Each subscription option is carefully curated by FLOWERBX flower specialists. Our florists select the very best and freshest varieties of the moment for deliveries that surprise and delight every time. Because of this, our current subscription offering does not allow for personalisation. 

For bespoke flower delivery services, please contact our customer care team, who will be happy to assist you in any, and all, of your floral needs.

What are the differences between the classic and premium subscriptions?

Every FLOWERBX delivery is uncompromising in quality, freshness, convenience and value. Whether you choose a classic or premium subscription, each delivery will allow you to discover our extensive range of the highest quality flowers, always sourced directly from trusted flower growers for optimum freshness. 

The classic subscription celebrates each season's floral favourites, while the premium subscription allows you to discover the finest and rarest varieties of seasonal flowers available.

Can I change my subscription type or size once it’s started?

Of course! For any modifications to your subscription type or size, please contact our customer care team, and we’ll be able to match you with your ideal subscription.

What should I do if delivery isn’t available for my postcode? 

We are working very hard to service a greater number of delivery locations and make our extraordinary flowers available everywhere across the UK. If your postcode is not yet available, we encourage you to sign up to our newsletter and follow us on Instagram for the latest news and updates on expanding delivery locations.

FLOWERBX PLANTS

Are your plants real or artificial?

All of our plants are real, indoor plants and are ideal for both the home and office.

Where do you deliver your plants to?

Some of our plants can only be delivered within London due to their nature and size. To view the list of postcodes we deliver to in London, please click here. For plants outside of London, you will be able to see which varieties are eligible for delivery nationwide, as they will not include a ‘London Only’ tag.

How are your plants packaged?

FLOWERBX plants are delivered in a simple, purposeful white or chocolate plastic pot and can be re-potted if desired.

FOR LONDON DELIVERY

Your plant will be hand-delivered directly to your chosen address.

FOR NATIONAL DELIVERY

Your plant will be potted and packaged inside a box directly to your chosen address.

How do I care for my plant?

The plants we source are relatively low-maintenance but it’s very important that you care for your plant in the right way. You can view general ‘care’ instructions in the description of the product page of each plant. As a rule, it is important not to over-water your plant. Our selection of house plants do not favour too much direct sunlight so, although they will thrive in a well-lit spot, it’s important to consider where you will be placing your plant.

My plant doesn’t look like the image online, what can I do?

As with all living things, naturally, there will be some variation in the colour and shape of your plant. If on the occasion you have received your plant and it is not quite as you expected, whether that be general appearance, shape or size, please contact our customer care team within 48 hours of receiving your order. We will always accommodate exchanges and returns of plants where possible, provided you have contacted us within the given timeframe.

My plant is in poor condition, can I return it?

If you receive a plant that you feel is in poor condition from arrival, please contact us within 30 days of receiving the item. We also request that you email us a photograph of the damaged or faulty plant so that we can send it to our product team to be reviewed. For issues beyond our control such as airborne pests and diseases such as fungal leaf spot, we cannot accept any responsibility beyond 30 days.

FLOWER INFORMATION

Where do your flowers come from?

For the most part, our flowers are sourced directly from Holland’s unique flower auctions. Specific varieties are procured from the source in further-afield locations such as Costa Rica, Israel, Thailand, Italy and Ecuador.

I have some feedback on my flowers. How can I let you know my thoughts?

We truly value customer feedback, be that the "good" or the "not so good." If you do need to get in touch with our customer care team, we will be on hand to listen and help answer your queries.

How can I keep my flowers looking their best for longer? 

To keep your flowers as fresh as possible, we recommend trimming the stems at a 45° angle on arrival and changing the water every few days. Your flowers will also benefit from the use of flower food. It’s important to keep them away from direct sunlight and heat and instead place them in a cool environment. Most flowers will perform best if kept in temperatures between 10 and 15°c.

I have a pet. Which flowers and plants should I avoid? 

The following flowers are highly toxic to cats, so we highly discourage you from keeping them near your pet:
Asparagus Fern
Lilies
Calla Lilies
Delphiniums
Tulips
Chrysanthemums
Peonies

The following flowers are highly toxic to dogs, so we highly discourage you from keeping them near your pet:
Amaryllis
Asparagus Fern
Lilies
Calla Lilies
Delphiniums
Tulips
Chrysanthemums
Peonies

RETURNS
