Products sent via Royal Mail (such as Letterbox Flowers and Plants) to the above postcodes can sometimes take approximately a day longer to arrive than normal.

Can I send flowers to a hospital or business?
We can deliver to businesses and hospitals but we would suggest that you contact the hospital/business directly before placing your order to avoid any disappointment.

Some hospitals have restrictions on flower deliveries, and businesses such as hotels may incur a delay from the time of delivery and them reaching the intended recipient. Unfortunately, we can not be held responsible for any delays in your recipient receiving flowers once they have been delivered to the address.

What if the recipient is not home for delivery?
If a Letterbox Bouquet has been purchased and your recipient has a standard-sized letterbox, then your recipient does not need to be at home for the delivery.

For our products that do not fit through a letterbox, Royal Mail or DPD will leave a collection card for the recipient to collect the parcel from their local sorting office or from a neighbour if they are not home.

Our packages are designed to keep your flowers in good condition for a couple of days but we would advise that parcels are collected as soon as possible.

Please note that final delivery of letterbox flowers through your recipient's letterbox is at the discretion of the local postal worker. We do not guarantee that letterbox flowers will be posted through the recipient's letterbox. Regretfully this is beyond our control if the local postman chooses not to post it through.

My flowers were not delivered, what do I do?
Please get in touch with our team via email: team@postabloom.co.uk and we will be sure to help in any way we can.

Please note that we can not be held responsible if an incorrect or invalid address has been used on an order. Incorrect addresses can cause your flowers to be delayed or to not arrive, so please double-check your recipient's address before you send to avoid disappointment.

Will Letterbox Flowers fit through all letterboxes?
Unfortunately, we can not guarantee that Letterbox Flowers will fit through all letterboxes. However, our Letterbox Bouquets have been specially designed to fit through the vast majority of standard UK letterboxes, with our box dimensions being as follows: Width: 19cm, Depth: 4cm, Length: 60cm.

Therefore refunds will not be issued in the instance that the Letterbox Flowers box does not fit thorough the letterbox. However, Royal Mail will leave a collection card in the event that Letterbox Flowers do not fit. Our packages are designed to keep your flowers in good condition for a couple of days but we would advise that parcels are collected as soon as possible. 

Please note that final delivery of letterbox flowers through your recipient's letterbox is at the discretion of the local postal worker. We do not guarantee that letterbox flowers will be posted through the recipient's letterbox. Regretfully this is beyond our control if the local postman chooses not to post it through.

Your order

How do I know if you received my order?
Once your order has been placed and processed you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive this within 12 hours please email us at team@postabloom.co.uk.

Can I amend my order?
If you need to amend your order after it has been placed please email us at team@postabloom.co.uk before 10am on the working day before your chosen delivery date. After 10am, we can not guarantee that we can make your changes but we will certainly try our best. 

Can I include a personal message with my order?
Of course you can! All flowers are supplied with an optional FREE personalised greeting card (designed in-house by our talented team). You can add a personal message to your card - make sure you add your name in the card, otherwise your recipient may not know who they're from!

Payment
What methods of payment are acceptable?
We accept payment by Credit Card, Debit Card, PayPal & ApplePay.

Our payment providers use the latest encrypted technologies and your card details are not stored by Postabloom, ensuring the security of your payment.

Quality and Flower Care
Are flower care instructions provided?
Yes, care instructions are included inside the flower box and in-app, which should be followed in order to increase the life and enjoyment of your flowers.  Flowers are a perishable, natural product that will react to their environment.

We use only the freshest and highest quality flowers especially selected because we know they travel well. However, once we post our flowers a number of circumstances outside our control may result in their longevity being reduced.

How are the flowers packaged?
All our bouquets are packaged in specially designed 'flower care' boxes, which protect the flowers and allow them to breathe during transit.

Our flowers and plants are delivered with a personalised card and flower food.

Do my flowers come in a vase?
Our bouquets are not supplied with a vase.

What do I do if the flowers don’t look like the photos on the website?
To ensure your flowers last as long as possible some of our flowers will arrive in bud. This means that the flowers can be enjoyed for longer, but also one has the pleasure of watching them bloom.

There may be times when we substitute some blooms with a different flower due to climate or seasonal conditions. Therefore, we reserve the right to substitute any product with an alternate product of a similar style, colour, value and quality. This may mean, from time to time, we have to create your bouquet using slightly different flowers from those illustrated. We will of course ensure we maintain a similar colour and style.

What if I’m not satisfied with the quality of my purchase?
We pride ourselves on the quality and freshness of our flowers and our customer service. We select flowers that we know travel well. However, if flower quality is of concern, please contact us immediately. It is essential that we be informed within 48 hours of receiving your flowers, and good quality, multiple photos are supplied to us, which were taken on the day of receipt of the flowers. Every effort is made to ensure that our customers receive the product and service that they expect. 

Is it safe to send Lilies to a home with pets?
Lilies can be highly toxic to cats, dogs and others pets so we strongly advise that our bouquets containing lilies are not sent to cat owners. Lilies are the most poisonous to cats, however we do advise that our bouquets are kept out of reach of all pets to be safe. Please note that alstroemeria is part of the lily family and can be a potential irritant to some cats if consumed. Our friendly customer service team will be happy to offer further advice, email us team@postabloom.co.uk.
