Teleflora | Order Flower Delivery Online (2024)

FAQs

How do Teleflora flowers arrive? ›

Teleflora is the world's largest floral delivery service and we send all of our orders to local florists. All of our bouquets are made by hand and delivered by hand, and each flower bouquet arrives ready to enjoy in a beautiful vase.

If you're pressed for time, need to send flowers internationally or to harder-to-reach parts of the US, a floral wire service like FTD is your best bet. There are other similar services like 1-800-Flowers and Teleflora, but we have been less impressed with bouquets we've received from them.

While Teleflora is a convenient way to send flowers, they do have a service fee that ranges from $14.99 to $19.99. This fee covers the cost of the florist arranging and delivering the flowers, as well as a care and handling charge.

Teleflora has the best local flower delivery available because we work with over 10,000 local florists all around the country to bring you locally-arranged bouquets. So, know that every bouquet you order from us supports a small business near you or your loved one.

It's safe to say that your flowers won't just be left there. If your courier gets to the delivery address and no one answers, what will most likely happen is that they will leave a note stating that a perishable item is available for collection at a specific address. It will then be up to you to come and collect it.

A delivery confirmation is often sent via email, once the delivery has been made and it has been entered it into our system. In addition, you will likely receive a phone call from a thankful recipient! 5.

When ordering flowers online, you may be limited in selecting blooms, arrangements, and vases. Some online florists may offer a narrow range of options. The bouquets available for purchase may be less creative or unique than those in a brick-and-mortar florist shop.

Teleflora, LLC was formerly known as Telegraph Delivery Service and was founded in 1934 by Edwin S. Douglas. Privately owned since 1979 by Lynda Resnick and Stewart Resnick, husband and wife, the company has 3,000 employees worldwide in 20 countries.

Though not mandatory, flower deliveries may warrant a $5 to $10 tip for average-sized bouquets, plants, and arrangements. If they're bringing multiple arrangements, large plants, or other difficult-to-carry items, the tip should be around $10 to $20 depending on the total cost of the order.

As a general rule of thumb, a custom flower arrangement from an independent florist that's not part of FTD or Teleflora will run between $55 and $300, again remembering, the higher the price the higher the number of flowers included. The types of flowers used can also affect the cost.

Why is flower delivery so expensive? ›

The investment in high-quality flowers, the time and talent dedicated to design and customization, and the operational costs of running a floristry business all influence the pricing of arrangements. Meanwhile, the logistics of ensuring fresh, intact delivery add another layer of complexity and expense.

When you place an order on Teleflora.com, we will find a florist who is the best fit to fulfill your order and deliver it on your specified delivery date. While you cannot choose a specific florist, every order you place supports a small business near you or your loved one!

Delivery Policy

Most of our products can be delivered the same day. To assure same-day delivery, orders must be received before 2:00 p.m., Monday - Friday and before 12:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays in the recipient's time zone. Orders received after that time may be delivered the following day.

Simply send Teleflora or the sending florist an inquiry message letting them know and confirm the order on the actual delivery date.

With a local florist, you can rest assured that your flowers are always the freshest and most exquisite. This is because strategic partnerships with trusted growers guarantee only the best blooms for customers. These locally-sourced arrangements tend to last far longer than those purchased from online-only vendors.

Simply place the flowers in a plastic sleeve and secure the ends with a rubber band or twist tie. Bubble wrap is another inexpensive and effective way to protect flowers during shipping. Wrap individual flowers or entire arrangements in bubble wrap to prevent damage from bumps and jostles during transportation.

When transporting fresh flowers, it's important to use sturdy containers that won't tip over and can keep the flowers hydrated. For shorter distances, a simple vase, bucket or container with water should be fine. However, for longer trips, it's best to use a specialised flower transport container.

All our flower gifts are sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24 or an equivalent service for £3.99.
