Hot Weather Protocol
During periods of extreme heat, standard hub-and-spoke courier networks can expose delicate British blooms to damaging temperatures. Please read our temporary terms carefully:
- No Heat Claims: We cannot accept credits or refund claims for flowers impacted by third-party courier heat stress or transit delays.
- Extended Packhouse Conditioning: All wholesale orders are currently subject to an extra 24-hour hydration and chilling cycle in our fridges to give them the maximum thermal mass possible before boxing.
- Florist Care Notice: Stems will look thirsty upon arrival. Do not strip foliage immediately. Hydrate in a cool, dark room using flower food and allow 12–24 hours for full recovery before working with them.
Premium Option: Specialised Direct Door-to-Door Delivery
Reserved exclusively for orders over £300 (excl. VAT) within designated DVS delivery zones.
For high-value orders, weddings, or event work where transit risks cannot be taken, we can bypass the standard courier depots entirely using a dedicated point-to-point service.
- The Service: One man, one dedicated van. Flowers travel directly from our cold stores to your door. Unlike standard couriers, your orders are never put on harsh mechanical conveyor belts or automated chutes. Instead, they are exclusively hand-sorted and cross-docked by specialist, flower-trained drivers at a dedicated facility in Milton Keynes before heading straight to your regional area.
- How they travel: Stems can be transported dry-packed or standing beautifully on water in crates, requiring significantly less cardboard and plastic packaging. For softer, delicate varieties vulnerable to the heatwave, we also apply professional transit gel to keep them perfectly hydrated and cool.
- Eco-Friendly Circular Packaging: We utilise robust, returnable crates for transit. To help reduce waste at your studio, we offer a complete packaging return service—we will pack up and take away all cardboard and outer packaging with us.
- Eligibility: Minimum order value of £300 (Excl. VAT). Available only for specific postcode zones. Full DVS tracking alerts are provided from dispatch to your doorstep.
- Booking Notice: A absolute minimum of 24 hours' notice is required to schedule a dedicated vehicle.
Please contact the office via email or WhatsApp to confirm your postcode eligibility and/or secure a dedicated van slot.
