Shipping Questions and Answers

There may be occasions where the item you ordered is Out of Stock/Backordered. This item may not have been available when you ordered it originally (We couldn't update the website fast enough!) or another customer's order placed ahaed of yours may have depleted the avilable inventory. In the case of an Out of Stock item, you will receive an email notifying you of the circumstances. Most back ordered items will be restocked. With that in mind, we will keep your order open and ship your item when it comes back in stock. If you would like to cancel you backorder, please respond to the backorder notification e-mail or contact us at (800) 604-6020.

Orders placed via Ground delivery are delivered in 4-6 business days depending on your location and the warehouse from which the item is shipped.

We offer Saturday delivery on MOST items. Saturday delivery is a built in option for all flowers. To choose Saturday delivery on items other than flowers, please write "Saturday Delivery" in the comments section during the check-out process. Select Next Day as your shipping option. Saturday deliveries incur an extra $12.50 charge in addition to the Next Day shipping charges. When you indicate Saturday delivery, you are accepting these charges. All Saturday Delivery orders must be placed before 12:00 PM Eastern Time.

We do not ship outside of the 50 United States.

Unfortunately, because we cannot control or monitor delivery, we are unable to ship to APO and FPO addresses at this time.

No, we are unable to ship to PO boxes.

With the exception of our Wine Gift Baskets (which requires a signature of an adult over the age of 21), we do not require a delivery signature. Most of our customers are not home during the day so we ship without a signature requirement.

Yes. All tracking numbers are sent via e-mail. Please make sure the e-mail address you provide is correct.

Shipping is calculated from the Fedex shipping tables using a combination of weight, shipping box dimension, and delivery destination. You can see what your shipping costs will be in the mini-cart available on all pages or by entering your Zip Code in the Shopping Cart and selecting a shipping method. You will also be able to tell the cost difference between the various shippng methods.

We do not recommend sending gifts to hospitals! Due to hospital mail room procedures and patient restrictions, the patient may not receive your gift before they are discharged. Most patients are discharged within 24-48 hours, even after surgery. Hospitals do not forward gifts to discharged patients. They "refuse" the package through the carrier. Gifts sent to a hospital where the patient has been discharged cannot be refunded.
