Recipient "Not at Home"
Flowers Inc are not responsible for deliveries if the recipient is not at the location at the time of delivery. If you are the customer, you must make sure that the recipient will be at the location on the date given on the order form for delivery.
If there is a contact phone number on the order form, the courier may contact the recipient to check if they are at the location before they attempt to deliver the gift. If there is no phone number provided on the order form, the courier will attempt to deliver gift on the specified delivery date.
If the recipient is not at the location when the delivery is made, the courier will try to leave a "not at home" card at the recipient's location. This card explains the situation and asks the recipient to contact the supplier.
If the courier deems the location to be a "safe" location the item will be left at the address provided. In these cases delivery will be deemed to have been made successfully. If you do not want the order left at the address please ensure this information has been provided in the special instructions field on the order form.
Flowers Inc will do their utmost to deliver the gift at a later date if the recipient replies to the "not at home" card. Additional delivery charges may apply if the supplying florist has to deliver the gift more than once. Alternatively, the recipient may have to collect the order at the florist/courier's premise.

Prices include handling and a credit card processing fee in the total price that appears. 100% of delivery fees aid go to the supplier to cover costs of delivery.
**Some rural or remote locations may require extra payment for flowers or delivery, due to the high cost of flowers in those locations. If you would like to check for any location please contact us.
These fees include a service or handling fee and also a Credit Card fee that recovers the cost of operating a credit card service; part of which includes fees charged by the credit card clearing company. Present fees are $0 for orders $0-$55, $3 for $56-$83 and $5 for $83 and over, for orders placed on the New Zealand websites.
Non-Deliveries
Flowers Inc will try their best to deliver any gift, but we do not guarantee the delivery of any product if one of the following occurs.
- Recipient refuses to accept delivery of the gift.
- Address provided is incorrect.
- Occupants are not at the location and do not respond to the "not at home" card left by our courier.
If one of these instances occurs, we may judge that the delivery has been made.

Refunds
It is not normally policy to refund the price of the product. However, as every customer and gift is individual, (and therefore may require a decision on a case-by-case basis), please contact us so we can determine the best solution to the problem.
Flowers Inc is also able to provide other solutions, such as resending the gift, or resending a different gift of the same value.
Time Sensitive / Difficult Deliveries / Hospital Deliveries
Due to the difficult nature of delivering for the following events/places, Flowers Inc cannot guarantee delivery to certain locations and times.
While we will try our best to make sure that your gift is received at the event/place, we do advise you to include a secondary address for delivery. The recipient of the gift must be available at this address after the end of the event.
Delivery to difficult and remote areas may incur extra delivery, above that already allowed in the gift value. The payment of extra delivery is the responsibility of the customer and orders can not be delivered without such payment.
If a delivery should not be made after a certain time (for example, if the recipient is leaving the hotel), please either provide an alternative delivery address within the same delivery area or advise that the order should be cancelled in the NOTES section at the bottom of an order form. If the order is for a timed event or difficult to deliver area we strongly suggest you provide an alternative address for delivery.
Note: That if the alternate delivery address is in a different area, and therefore requiring the services of a different supplier, Flowers Inc may not be able to assist with the redirection without wastage and delivery charges being paid to the initial supplier.
At Flowers Inc we try our best to ensure your flowers are delivered on time to the right location. Unfortunately, Flowers Inc cannot offer same day delivery or deliver to some locations due to their remoteness. Some deliveries may be required to be collected from the nearest town or depo, if this is the case the recipient will be notified.
Due to the perishable nature of our products, we do not deliver flowers and gifts to PO Boxes or Locked Bag addresses.
We do not guarantee delivery to the following timed events:
- Funerals
- Wedding Receptions
- Parties
- Functions
We do not guarantee delivery to the following places:
- Hospitals (especially Intensive Care Units)
- Army, Airforce and Naval Bases
- Ships
- Jails
- Secure Buildings
- Hotels
- Mines
We apologise for any inconvience but delivery to these areas is very difficult.
Timed Deliveries
Flowers Inc can not guarantee specific delivery times for any orders, due to the dynamic nature of couriers and traffic.
Flowers
While we offer customers the opportunity to nominate a preferred time of delivery, including "as soon as possible" (ASAP), it is not possible to guarantee that these times will be achieved. There are often local reasons why an order can not be delivered within your preferred time frame.
We suggest you restrict your requests to AM or PM delivery or ASAP if that is important to you. Such deliveries can only be made during local business hours.
Also, it is usually possible though not guaranteed to deliver on a Saturday up to noon. It is not usually possible to deliver on Saturday afternoon or Sunday or on national public holidays.
If the flowers are for a timed event like a funeral, the florists will do their best to assist. However, we strongly recommend that you give an alternative address so the flowers can be delivered there if too late for the timed event.
If a delivery should not be made after a certain time (for example, if the recipient is leaving the hotel), please either provide an alternative delivery address within the same delivery area or advise that the order should be cancelled in the NOTES section at the bottom of an order form.
Note that if alternative delivery address are in a different area, and therefore requiring the services of a different florist, Flowers Inc may not be able to assist with the redirection.

Flowers Inc can not guarantee any specific delivery times for Gift Baskets and Gift delivery. You can track the progress of your delivery by contacting the courier service with your consignment number - which can be obtained from us.
