Our florist partners will make reasonable efforts to deliver your order:

• If the recipient is unavailable, the florist may leave the flowers in a safe location or with a neighbor
• For orders requiring signature or refrigeration, florist will leave a delivery notice
• Redelivery may be available for an additional fee
• We are not responsible for orders left as instructed that are subsequently lost or damaged

4.4 Address Verification

It is your responsibility to provide accurate delivery information. We are not responsible for failed deliveries due to incorrect addresses, invalid phone numbers, or recipient unavailability. Address correction fees may apply.

5. Product Substitutions

Fresh flowers are natural products and availability varies by season and location. If there is a substitution needed, we will contact you and get your approval first. You have the option of approving the substitution or cancelling your order.

Substitutions usually affect type of flowers used as some flowers may not be available by the local florist at the time. There shall be no substitution in type of arrangement; that is, no change in size or shape or value. The utmost care and attention will be given to your order to ensure that it is as similar as possible to the requested item.

• Flowers: Similar flowers of equal or greater value may be substituted with your approval
• Containers: Vases and containers may be substituted with similar items
• Colors: We strive to match colors as closely as possible but exact shades may vary
