• How can I tell if product is available?
  The website only displays product that is available on the delivery date you request. If the product is not available for the requested delivery date you will not be able to purchase the product, however, the next delivery date for the product you selected will be displayed. Pretty cool stuff!
  

• How do I pay with PayPal?
  First, you'll need to create a PayPal account if you don't have one already. Then, log in and make sure all information in your PayPal account is up-to-date. Fill your cart with flowers and floral supplies and click "Checkout". At checkout, select "Pay using PayPal or PayPal credit" and this will take you to the PayPal website where you can complete the transaction.
  
  
• Why was my credit card declined?
  If your card is declined during checkout, don't panic.
  Be sure to double-check the following to ensure you entered them correctly:
  -Expiration date
  -Security code/CVV (Card Verification Value)
  -Billing address - does it exactly match the one for your credit card?
  
  If everything looks correct, we suggest you contact your bank or credit card company.
  
  
  • Can I purchase a gift certificate?
    Thanks for thinking of us when considering a gift for someone special, but we do not offer Gift Certificates at this time.
    
  • What forms of payment do you accept?
    We accept credit & debit cards with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover logo, as well as PayPal. We do not accept checks as a form of payment.
    
  • Why are there two charges on my account?
    You may see two identical transactions on your statement. The first is not a charge but actually a hold (sometimes called a "pre-authorization" or "pending authorization") added by your bank seven days before your order ships to ensure funds are available before the actual charge is processed. Once your order ships and the actual charge is added to your account, the hold will disappear. In some cases, it may take a few business days for your bank to remove the hold.
    

• Do you offer promotions, promo codes or discounts?
  No. What we do believe in is providing you a huge selection of flowers and floral supplies from the best farms around the world, using the fastest shipping methods, delivering the freshest products available at the lowest price to your door every day.
  
  
• Why did an item change price while shopping?
  All prices are subject to change and are not confirmed until the time of purchase, which is why you may see an item change in price while shopping on the website.
  
  
• Is there a monetary order limit?
  No. We would love for you to buy all available products on each order, but you can just buy one item if that’s all you need. Just come back for more.
  

• What is your refund policy?
  We will always guarantee quality. If you receive something that is damaged or are sent the wrong thing we are happy to refund you. You must contact us within 48 hours of receiving the flowers and we need to receive pictures that show everything that you are asking to be refunded. For example, if you have 25 Roses that are damaged your picture must show 25 Roses. We will never ask you to send any flowers back to us.
  
  
• How do I get refund or replacement product an item?
  Go to "Refunds and Replacements" under "Customer Service", enter the order number and email address or login to your account, go to "My Orders" and select the order. Complete the required information and submit. One of our friendly and professional Customer Service Associates will get back to you right away.
  
  
  • Do you offer store or site credit?
    At this time, we do not offer store or site credit. All refunds will be processed back to the original form of payment that was used to place the order.
    
    
  • When will I receive my refund?
    The refund will be processed back to your original form of payment. If this account is closed or the credit/debit card used is now expired, the credit will still be refunded to the original form of payment. The financial institution of the card in question will then be responsible for issuing the refund.
    
    
  • What happens when a package is refused?
    If you refuse an order for any reason, we cannot offer you a refund for the product that is refused. You must receive the product and contact customer service to request a refund. Refunds will be issued for the cost of the product only; shipping costs will not be reimbursed.
    
    Please note: If the cost of the return shipment due to your refusal is billed to FlowerFarm, you may be responsible for that cost.

• Why does my order include sales tax?
  Our products may be subject to sales tax based on the state to which the order will be shipped. Tax is calculated on the total selling price of each individual taxable product.
  
  Additionally, shipping charges may be subject to sales tax in accordance with state tax laws. The amount of tax charged on your order will depend upon many factors, including the type of product(s) purchased and destination of the shipment.
  
  Please note: Because factors can change between the time your order is placed and the time your credit card is charged, the final sales tax amount may differ from the original estimate.
  
  
• Why hasn't my order shipped yet?
  We work around the clock 7 days a week to get you the freshest product possible. However, our carriers only deliver Monday through Friday.

• How to select the best delivery date?
  When scheduling delivery, some people think that choosing a date as close as possible to when the flowers will be used guarantees the best quality & freshness. This is not true. Our farms cut your flowers at a specific stage of growth/opening to protect the blooms in shipment. Many flowers need time after being received to open to their ideal blooming stage. Scheduling delivery too close to when you need them can also risk you not having the flowers for your event. Most often our flowers deliver on schedule, but occasionally weather or other issues can cause a delay. We cannot refund you based on delivery time/date alone.
  
  For weekend events we recommend Thursday as the latest day in the week to schedule delivery. This will work well whether you have access to refrigeration or not. For weekday events we recommend you schedule delivery at least two full business days before you absolutely need the flowers. We understand there are situations when you need something at the last minute and you cannot follow these guidelines but in general, the above recommendations are best. If flowers are in transit but are delayed, we cannot cancel the order for you.
  
  
• What to do with the flowers when you receive them?
  When you receive your flowers open the box right away. Cut at least ½” off the bottom of each stem and put in water. Most flower types will look better and last longer with flower food. Bulk wholesale flowers do not come with flower food so you will need to purchase that separately. It will take 4 – 6 hours of sitting undisturbed in water for the flowers to hydrate fully. You will notice a visible difference in their appearance from when you first open the box to after 6 hours of hydration. If you are new to buying wholesale flowers, you may think your blooms are damaged when you first receive them, but they are likely just thirsty and need some time to drink and open. If you think you may need a refund, please wait until after the recommended time of hydration to decide.
