Terms & Conditions

Our Products

Flowers by parcel

When selecting our products, which are hand-tied by a professional florist in our florist's workshop, we try to use mainly flowers that will survive transport well. Of course, depending on the season, the flowers may differ in shape and colour to a certain extent from the picture shown. If a particular flower is not available, it will be replaced by a similar flower in shape and colour. Our florists always try to tie a bouquet in such a way that it matches the original product as closely as possible.

In addition, please note that on peak floral days such as Valentine's Day, prices for individual flower types such as roses may be higher and bouquets may therefore be subject to price adjustments.

Most of the pictures in our web shop present flowers in full bloom to show the appearance of the bouquet during the longest period of its life. The flowers delivered are fresh and therefore it may happen that the bouquet contains flowers that have not yet fully bloomed. This is not a negative thing, as you can be sure that your flowering gift will give pleasure for as long as possible.

Furthermore, the products shown in the webshop are sample bouquets. The bouquets delivered may differ in appearance and number of flowers from the webshop products shown, depending on the season and region.

The costs for the delivery of the flowers within Germany are € 6.00. In addition, a service charge of € 7.00 is already included in the price. For orders abroad, the delivery fee varies from country to country.

Add-ons

Pictures of add-ons (e.g.. vase, greeting card) represent the type of product available and the actual item delivered by the florist may differ from the picture you see on the website.

Discount codes and e-Vouchers

If you have received a discount code or an e-voucher, you are responsible for it. To avoid someone else using your code and making a purchase with your voucher, make sure you keep it in a safe place. Our discount codes and vouchers can be used in our web shop, in the order process before you complete the payment. Note that discounts are usually valid for a limited time only. Information regarding this can be found in the information given to you in access with the discount code and/or e-voucher. Please contact us if you experience any problems using the code and/or voucher.

Delivery times and Guarantees

Deliveries to hotels, hospitals, government agencies / offices, medical offices, etc.

Delivery security

The customer takes full responsibility for ensuring that the recipient information is complete and correct. For any delays in delivery due to lack of information, or if the recipient is rejecting the delivery, or if the flowers cannot be delivered and returned, there is no compensation. If the florist flower delivery will not be executed as requested, the customer has the right to cancel the order if the recipient's details were correct and the recipient was present.

We ask for a minimum of 24 hours notice to make any changes to your order. If you are requesting any changes on the date of delivery or the date before, we will make every effort though we can't guarantee this.

At busy periods, such as Christmas, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, the minimum time required is extended to 3 working days. Due to the volume of orders being processed, deliveries may be prepared and organized in good time and so some changes may not be possible.

Delivery options

Our flowers are personally delivered and presented by florists or their delivery service.

Funeral orders

Funeral Sprays and wreaths are large products, and also require a large quantity of flowers. This type of product order should be place 3 days in advance to guarantee delivery. For funeral bouquets and condolences/sympathy products, we guarantee same day delivery if you order within our given time frame (see our same day delivery policy above, in the same section ‘Delivery times and Guarantees’).

International orders

Flower orders to other countries are delivered by a local representative in that country. We deliver flowers to most countries in the world with a few exceptions, such as war zones. If there is a large time difference we need the order the day before the delivery. All orders are handled during business hours.

Liabilities and Delivery Conditions

The customer takes full responsibility that the given recipient information is complete and correct. If there is a delay in the delivery due to incorrect or incomplete information (including door code) provided by the customer or if the recipient refuses the flowers, the order will not be refunded.

When you place an order you have an option to instruct the florist if the recipient is not home to leave the flowers at the door of the recipient or with a neighbour. However, in his own discretion and depending on the weather conditions the florist may decide not to leave the flowers at the door, if they fear the flowers will be affected in a negative way. Regionsflorist will not be held responsible if the flowers are stolen. The florist may contact the recipient to arrange delivery, in cases where delivery information is missing. During extreme weather conditions we cannot guarantee that your order will be delivered on time and date. If we do not succeed in delivering your order, the order will be delivered as soon as possible. In those extreme cases our 100 % satisfaction guarantee is not applicable. The flowers will be delivered to the recipient by a local florist or a local courier company if the florist work with one.
