The Proper Way to Order Flowers Online

No matter the holiday, something like a flower delivery service is always appreciated and is a good idea. If you are looking for a surprise for your significant other, a dinner at a special restaurant, a movie or what to give them on a special night and you want the day to be filled with surprises a soon as the day begins, waking up to flowers is the best idea.

With this in mind, you Google an online florist until you have found one you can trust. Then you chose an arrangement and have sent them the address until you have your flowers delivered in Sydney with the help of shops like Fresh Flowers. Now you sit back, anxiously waiting for them to call you once they have seen the surprise. But hours have passed since daybreak, and it seems nothing has happened yet. You come back to the order form and realised in horror that you have submitted the wrong house number. Now a random person in Sydney is getting your flowers.

Online florists have dealt with cases like this before, which is why they have now learnt to contact the people who ordered to confirm the details they have submitted on the website. But mistakes do happen and certain things still slip. So before you go log onto your laptops to order flowers, here are some of the important things you need to know.  

Double check if you have the right address

Addresses are a common knowledge, it is virtually impossible to get it wrong. But surprisingly, some of us do get it wrong so it is best to double check, even triple check if you have typed in the right one. This is the most common mistake people make, and it is mostly what they think they wrote it is very different from what they did write. It happens to the best of us, so avoid it by reading back the form.

Ask about their delivery tracking system

To make sure that the flowers will be delivered on time, inquire about a reference number or a tracking code you can use to monitor the delivery. If they do not offer this, ask to be called once the order has left their shop and after they have made the drop-off. This is to make sure that there are no delays.

Consider a florist that is within the area of the recipient

If you find yourself out of the city say on Valentine’s Day and your significant other is still in Sydney, for instance, make sure that you have chosen one that is within their area and not yours. Often, when we do a Google search, the first items that pop up are relevant to our location. Since this is going to be delivered to someone else, always put their city name on the search bar to narrow it down.

Add other details about the recipient’s address

So that the will be no delays, make sure to provide extra details like landmarks near or on the house. Tell them if there are any road constructions happening at the moment so that they can change their route accordingly.

Ordering online is very easy, but it all boils down to the information that we have provided on their form. Make sure that all fields have been filled out appropriately and that all the details are correct. Very soon your loved one will wake up to fresh cut flowers, greeting them on a Valentine’s morning.
