What time will my order arrive?Top

Plants are delivered between 9am and 5pm to business addresses and between 9am and 7pm to residential addresses. Couriers pick up at 9am, 11am and 2pm, so the sooner you have your order in, the sooner it is likely to reach it's destination! We cannot guarantee specific delivery times, though we do offer an express (by noon) option available for most suburbs in case you would like your delivery to be prioritised and delivered by 12pm noon.


What day will my order arrive?Top

Your order will arrive on the delivery date you specify when placing an order, providing there are no delivery problems such as an incorrect address, there is no one available to accept delivery, or there is no where safe to leave the delivery.


Do you offer same day delivery?Top

Yes, if you place your order by our cut off time at 2pm we can have your order out that same day to most metro Melbourne suburbs. Please note, some suburbs require an earlier cut off time due to distance.


Can I arrange a specific delivery time?Top

Sorry, we cannot guarantee a certain specific time for delivery, though we will try our best to accommodate any requests, for example, if you would like your delivery to be sent late afternoon please advise us in the 'special delivery instructions' field on checkout and we will send your order with the last courier run.

If you would like to have your order delivered before 12pm noon please choose the 'express' option on checkout.


What delivery method do you use?Top

We use specialist couriers with temperature controlled vehicles for our deliveries, each delivery is hand delivered to your recipients door or place of business.


How can I ensure my order is successfully delivered?Top

As much relevant information as possible is the best way to ensure prompt delivery. Flat numbers, business name if applicable, ward/room number for hospital deliveries etc. are all very useful for our couriers. There is a 'special delivery instructions' field on checkout that you can use for any extra delivery information that you think may be relevant, such as: 'main entrance is at back door, watch out for the dog!, please call (phone number) if any problems'.


What delivery options do I have?Top

Your order will arrive on the delivery date you specify when placing an order, providing there are no delivery problems such as an incorrect address, no one available to accept delivery, or there is no where safe to leave the delivery.

Express
Your delivery will arrive before 12pm noon (you will need to place your order by midnight the night before the delivery date).

Standard
Standard deliveries will arrive between 9am and 5pm to business addresses and between 9am and 7pm to residential addresses (orders should be placed by 2pm for same day delivery to most metro Melbourne areas, though some suburbs require orders to be placed earlier in the day).

You can choose either option when making your product selection or at checkout.


How much does delivery cost?Top

Standard
Delivery charges depend on which suburb/area of Melbourne your order will be sent to. To find the charges for your delivery suburb please visit our deliveries page.

Express
An additional $5.00 surcharge applies for Express deliveries.


My delivery suburb isn't listed, what can I do?Top

If your suburb is not listed we may still offer delivery to that area, please contact us for further information.


Can you guarantee delivery on a specific date?Top

Yes, we will deliver your order on your specified date, which you can choose during checkout, providing there are no delivery problems such as an incorrect address, there is no one available to accept delivery, or there is no where safe to leave the delivery.


Do you deliver on Sundays?Top

Sorry, we currently deliver Monday through Saturday with the only exception being Mothers Day Sunday, 9 May 2021.


What happens if the recipient isn't in when you deliver?Top

If there is a safe place (sensible discretion will be used) to leave the delivery the courier will do so and will also leave a calling card in the recipients letterbox. If there is no safe place we will attempt to contact you or the recipient (if you have left us instructions to do so) to receive further instructions. Should a re-delivery or re-direction be necessary we will need to charge a re-delivery fee equal to the standard delivery charge for the suburb of re-delivery.


Can you deliver to Businesses or Hospitals?Top

We can absolutely deliver to businesses! To ensure prompt delivery please provide as much information as possible including anything you may think is relevant, such as the business name and floor level if applicable.

Some hospitals will not accept plants due to the dirt content. It's best to phone the hospital ahead of time just to make sure. If plants aren't an option you might like to try delivering flowers instead.


Can you deliver to flats and apartments?Top

Certainly can! but to ensure prompt delivery please provide as much information as possible, including anything you may think is relevant, such as the flat number, the recipients phone number or instructions to leave with neighbour if applicable etc. Extra details will allow the couriers to promptly deliver your gift and sort out any issues that may arise as well as organise redelivery if necessary.


I've received a plant, but I don't know who it's from? Top

Please call us, we'd be happy to ask the sender if we have their permission to give out further details. If the sender refuses, we will be unable to disclose the senders information (due to privacy laws).

Do you deliver outside of Melbourne?Top

We currently offer a large selection of plants for delivery throughout Melbourne, but we also offer a limited range of plants alongside an extensive range of beautiful flowers for delivery in Sydney via our sister site www.flowersacrosssydney.com.au.
