Can I request a specific delivery time (eg. morning or afternoon) for my order?

Yes, for most orders you are able to request a morning or afternoon delivery during normal business hours. Please notify Petals of your preference for either AM or PM or ASAP (as soon as possible) when placing your order.

A preferred delivery time cannot be specified for orders for 'Birthday Arrangement with Muffin included' product or the 'Birthday Bouquet with Muffin included' product (Australian delivery only).

Please note: While Petals offers customers the opportunity to nominate a preferred time of delivery (i.e. AM, PM or ASAP) it is not possible to guarantee that these times will be achieved. Petals Network uses a network of local florists around the world to deliver flowers so that customers receive the freshest possible gift. Consequently, there are often local reasons why an order can not be delivered within your preferred time frame (for example, courier delivery times).

If the flowers are for a timed event (for example, a funeral), the florists will do their best to assist. However, Petals strongly recommends that you provide us with an alternative address so the flowers can be delivered elsewhere 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 the alternative delivery address is in a different area (and therefore requiring the services of a different florist), Petals may not be able to assist with the redirection of your order. Extra charges relating to wastage and/or redelivery may apply.

 

Will additional charges ever apply to my order?

 

Charges in addition to standard delivery and handling fees may apply to some orders.

If an order has to be re-delivered due to (for example) recipient not at delivery address or wrong delivery details, an additional charge of $7.70 AUD (or equivalent) will be incurred.

Deliveries to remote or difficult delivery areas may also incur additional charges.

Please note that in the event of additional charges applying, Petals will contact the purchasing customer to notify them of any changes to their purchase price.

 

Can I have alcohol sent with my order?

 

Petals does not guarantee the delivery of alcohol with all purchases. The laws regarding the sending of alcohol with flowers are very complicated.

Why Petals does not guarantee the delivery of alcohol with all purchases:

1. Petals is unable to guarantee the recipient of the gift is over the legal age in that state or country

2. The recipient of the gift may have certain religious beliefs

3. Certain countries or States have laws that prohibit the sending of alcohol

4. Certain countries or States require Petals florists to possess a licence to send alcohol with flower orders

If you place an order that includes alcohol and Petals is not able to deliver the alcohol because of one of the reasons stated above, our florists will replace the alcohol (to equal value) with flowers or gift items that suit your order. You will not be advised of this replacement.Please note that you are able to nominate a second gift preference when placing an order that includes alcohol.

 

Can I have gourmet food or other gift items sent with my order?

Petals has several products that include a gourmet food or other gift items.

However, Petals does not always guarantee the inclusion of these items. Images shown on Petals websites are a guide only and in some areas gourmet and food products are not available. Petals florists will make reasonable substitutions when necessary, however you may not be informed of this change.

Petals accepts no liability for any loss or damage caused by products delivered by our florists. This also applies to our Birthday Arrangement with Muffin included' product or the 'Birthday Bouquet with Muffin included' product (Australian delivery only).

Please refer to the Petals substitution policy for more information.

Why are there several prices listed for the one product on Petals sites?

 

Petals knows that as customers, you want to achieve the best value possible through the orders that you place with us.

Purchasing flowers is slightly different to purchasing other gifts because our florists will always make up your order according to the value that has been specified.

Petals provides three levels of recommended pricing in order to ensure that whatever your budget and product choice, your gift will be as beautiful as it can be.

For example:

$51 / $60 / $90

$51 represents the Standard product size. The Standard size price is the minimum price that this type of product is available for.

$60 represents the Classic product size. The Classic size price will always be presented in bold, and represents the image shown.

$90 represents the Deluxe product size. The Deluxe size price is a benchmark for an enhancement in size and inclusion of flowers of the Classic product size.

Please note: Any value entered that is in excess of the recommended 'Standard' or minimum price will enhance the size and inclusions of the flower or gift order.

 

What if I can't see the product I want on Petals sites?

 

Know what you want to send but can't find it? Find a product in a similar style on the Selection Guide, and place an order for it. You will be able to describe particular requirements in the 'Preference Field' section of the ordering form.

For example: If you choose C2.3, you may wish to add "please use pink flowers" or "must include roses" to personalise your gift.

 

What payment methods can I use?

 

Petals accepts payments from the following credit and debit cards online:

How can I be sure that Petals has received my order?

 

When ordering online, once you have clicked the final 'Send Order' button, you will be shown a confirmation page and a receipt number.

Petals recommends that you either print this page or note your receipt number for future reference.

When ordering online you will receive an e-mail from Petals confirming that your order has been received. This e-mail will also include the details of the Petals florist who will be supplying your order.

You can also request a confirmation e-mail of your order when placing your order via the telephone.

 

What do I do if my credit card is declined?

 

In the event that your credit card is not able to be charged, you will be notified by Petals (usually via the e-mail address you have supplied to Petals).

You will then need to contact your financial institution for further assistance.

Please note that your order will not be processed until your credit card is able to be charged the full amount of your order. Your order will be placed on hold until further notice by Petals.

 

How do I make changes to my order or cancel my order after I have already placed it?

 

You are certainly able to cancel or make changes to your order after it has been placed with Petals within a reasonable timeframe before delivery.

You are able to either contact Petals to make changes to your order or to cancel your order, or use the Order Tracker facility.

The Order Tracker allows you to find out the status of your order, or to send a message about your order to Petals Network and/or the florist who is executing your order.

 

Why have I received more than one 'order confirmation' e-mail from Petals?

 

Petals may send you more than one 'order confirmation' if, for any reason, your order could not be delivered by the florist it was originally sent to. Reasons for this can range from a florist's inability to use specified flowers required for the order to transport issues.

Please note that receipt of a second order confirmation e-mail for an identical receipt number DOES NOT mean that your credit card has been charged twice.

 

What happens if there are delivery or other problems with my order?

 

Delivery problems can occur for a number of reasons. They are usually related to the recipient of the gift not being at the address at the time of delivery, or incorrect recipient contact details supplied to Petals.

Petals will always do our utmost to assist all customers with any concerns or complaints that they may have.

Depending on the circumstances of the delivery issue, extra delivery and wastage charges may apply. Please see extra delivery charges for more information.

Petals Network is comprised of florists and relay organisations around the world. Every effort is made to deliver flowers and gifts on the day requested and in a condition that reflects the high standards set by Petals for its network of florists and floral relay organisations.

Disclaimer
Same day delivery is not guaranteed. Content and colour of flowers may vary according to season and local availability.

 

What happens if the recipient of my gift is not at the delivery location at the time the gift is delivered?

 

If the person you're sending flowers to isn't there when the flowers are delivered, the Petals florist will either leave a calling card to explain that they tried to deliver the flowers, or will try and get in touch with your recipient via telephone (if the number has been supplied to us). Our florists will only leave the flowers on the doorstep / at reception (wherever the delivery was to) if it is judged safe to do so by the florist.

 

Does Petals store any personal information about me or the recipient of my gift?
