The florist you have chosen to order flowers from will ensure that your order will arrive as similar as what is pictured. While every florist does their best to make this happen, all florists tend to have a “substitution policy” for the products they sell which basically means that their arrangements may be subject to seasonal availability and the presentation or flowers can vary due to unforeseen circumstances.

This is because not all flowers/foliage are always in season and although many flowers that aren’t in season all year round can be imported, this would add additional costs/value to the flower order. Flower growers are also affected by adverse weather conditions such as bush fires and floods, to name a few, and this means that there could be a shortage of particular flowers/foliage during certain periods in the year. Sometimes same day orders also come in literally last minute when certain types or colours of flowers may have already been sold out by the florist.

Similarly, due to the creative nature of floristry and changing/emerging trends that underpin the industry, not all designs will look exactly the same 100% of the time. Florists love to make things that are beautiful and if they feel they can rearrange the design a little, add different foliage or mix up the flowers a little, they will do so as they believe that this will provide their clients flower designs that are in fashion, unique and of the highest quality.

Nevertheless, florists are trained and experienced in creating stunning floral arrangements and when need be they will usually substitute with a similar flower of the exact same or higher value.

You will never be paying “more for less” and your flowers should always come delivered as beautiful as what is pictured, if not even more beautiful!

Most florists do not deliver on Public Holidays as they are generally closed on these days and usually all couriers do not work on this day. However, please be aware that usually we will have to arrange for delivery the day before or day after the public holiday. Please contact us directly if you need to arrange delivery on that specific day and we will try to arrange this for all timely orders.

Some florists offer Sunday deliveries and this is generally outlined on their delivery profile. Usually our platform will allow you to place an order for a Sunday only if that florist offers Sunday delivery. However, all Sunday deliveries need to be placed by Friday 1pm (the latest) to ensure they will be delivered on Sunday. If you want to order from a particular florist who doesn’t have the option for date/day of delivery you wish, then please contact us and if there is reasonable time we may be able to arrange priority deliver for you.

Generally, our florists send an automatic email notification that your order has been delivered to the recipient. However, sometimes these emails get lost in the spam folder or are delayed in arriving. Many times our team or drivers will be in touch with you via phone/SMS to confirm the delivery. If you haven’t received any confirmation of your delivery, please contact the florist directly or contact us on 1300 359 908, contact@unitingflowers.com.au .

If the florist/courier arrives at the recipient’s address and nobody is there to collect the order, usually they will be in contact with you (the sender) or the recipient to confirm whether the flowers can be left in a safe place at the premises. Usually, if we cannot get in touch with anyone, flowers will either be left in a safe place and the recipient will be notified or the driver will take them back to the florist and the florist will have to re-arrange delivery with you (this will be decided at the discretion of the florist/driver).

We generally take all custom orders if the budget is $70 and more. The reason the budget has to be $70 or greater is because truly beautiful floral creations can only start with a decent budget so that the florist can use a decent amount of flowers and quality sundries. Most amazing designs that you may have in mind or have seen online do not cost less than $100 as the types of flowers used and the florists time all play a contributing factor.
