WHAT IF NO-ONE IS AT HOME FOR THE DELIVERY?
For Deliveries via couriers- It's essential to understand that when using common couriers, the delivery person won't personally interact with the recipient if they're not available at the time of flower arrival. Common couriers typically don't have a policy of contacting recipients via phone; instead, they will leave the package at the door if they believe it's secure enough to do so. They will leave a note indicating a different location for the recipient to pick up the flowers, such as a post office or a designated drop box, if it turns out to be unsafe to leave the package at the front door. If the package is not picked up during the following 10 days, Blooms America will receive it once more. Re-delivery attempts may be made if necessary, but this might result in an extra fee of between $15 and $40.
SHIPPING FRESH FRUIT, CAKES & BAKED GOODS, FLOWERS, FRESH CHEESE, CHOCOLATE DIPPED STRAWBERRIES & PERISHABLES
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, Fresh Cheeses, Fresh Fruits, ETC must be shipped quickly to maintain their quality.
To ensure the freshest possible product, we recommend customers request to have Fresh Fruit, Fresh Cheese & Chocolate Dipped Strawberries shipped on an express basis.
If a customer declines to choose rush delivery for a chocolate dipped fruit order, we will substitute the fresh strawberries with truffles or strawberries made of dark or milk chocolate so they arrive in good condition. However, during the hot summer months which is June to August, we strongly recommend rush service for Chocolate Dipped Strawberries.
Customers who order fresh cheese will receive a substitution of non-perishable cheese if the expected delivery times are more than 24 hours or the cheese could go bad.
If a customer requests delivery of fruit, fresh cheese, chocolate dipped strawberries, etc by ground shipping, we cannot guarantee freshness or the quality of these items when they are received and will not refund customers if items have melted or the items are received in less than perfect condition.
OVERWEIGHT, OVERSIZED DELIVERIES
In some cases, some of the items that we ship are oversized or of a weight that is above average. In these cases, additional delivery charges may apply. However, before we apply these additional shipping charges, we will contact you, our customer, to ensure that you are willing to pay the additional shipping charges. If you agree to the overweight/oversized charges, we will apply the charges and ship the package. If you do not agree to the additional shipping charges, we may offer other items which can be shipped or cancel the order.
