Where We Deliver Flowers in Melbourne
We use specialist Floral Couriers to make sure our products arrive to the recipient in the same great condition they leave our store. Our Delivery Fees reflect the specialist skills involved in transporting Floral Arrangements, which are very fragile and not your average package!
Please ensure your Shipping Address falls within these zones when you proceed with your payment for delivery as we do not offer refunds for incorrect order information including shipping mistakes.
If the wrong address is provided the purchaser will be required to pay another Delivery Fee for the new address, as the order has been fulfilled on our end.
*Please phone hospitals to confirm they are accepting deliveries before placing your order online as we cannot refund if the hospital refuses delivery due to COVID cases.
