Shipping Options

You have four shipping options to choose from depending on your preference and product destination. For those customers with multiple account numbers, each account will have specific shipping instruction associated with it.

Option #1: Airport to Airport

Your flowers are shipped direct from our hub to your nearest international airport. Airport to Airport is ideal if you want your flowers quickly and would like to pick up directly from the airport. This delivery method charges a flat per shipment fee and becomes very cost effective when ordering seven or more boxes of product.

$157.50 flat fee regardless of how many boxes are ordered.

Once your order is invoiced our air freight specialist CAL AIR will book your AWB. This information is available via your Account homepage under the Shipping Information tile. Click the TrackYour Order hyperlink. It is important that you actively track your airway bill using the air carriers web page tracking feature once your order is invoiced as this will alert you to when your boxes are released and available to pick up.

When retrieving your order from the airport it is mandatory that you complete these important steps:

1) Verify the airway bill reference number
2) Verify the total number of boxes matches your invoice
3) Check that your business name appears on each box
4) If any boxes are missing, please ask the airline representative to write the number of missing pieces on the AWB copy and legibly sign.

Once you have accepted the shipment, we are unable to accept returns or issue credit for boxes that are delivered in error due to restrictions in airline processes and security protocols.

* regular shipping schedules will vary around National holidays and major floral holidays. 

Option #2: Door to Door

Your flowers are shipped directly to your door via FedEx Priority OverNight. Door to Door provides the added convenience of not having to leave your business to pick up your products. It is the preferred delivery for those not located near a major international airport.
