If the recipient refuses to accept the flowers without any reason, the full charges are due, and will be billed by our florist.

Flowers

Flowers are seasonal products, and some varieties will therefore not always be available at florists, including the Fleurop-Interflora online Flower Market.

We are unable to guarantee permanent availability of specific flowers at every florist shop worldwide, especially if orders are received at short notice. A Fleurop-Interflora bouquet may thus look slightly different to that shown in the online shop. However, every Fleurop-Interflora bouquet is a work of art, freshly composed especially for you in one of our premium Fleurop-Interflora shops, and you may rest assured that every effort will be made to match the colour and shape of the bouquet shown in the online picture.

Flowers with vases are, unfortunately, not available. Nevertheless, in the Fleurop-Interflora online Flower Market, flowers that are delivered with a vase are clearly indicated.

Guarantee

Customer satisfaction is for our affiliated Florist very important. The guarantee assures you that all orders are handled by experts and are of first-rate quality. All flower arrangements will be fresh and delivered personally.

We guarantee the conscientious fulfilment of every Fleurop-Interflora order. Our guarantee comprises:

• delivery of the ordered product by the florist
• in fresh and perfect condition
• on the requested date
• at the price offered by Fleurop-Interflora florists and the website on the day of delivery.

Nevertheless, should there be any complaint, the addressee can of course contact the delivering Fleurop-Interflora florist. The latter guarantees the delivered product for at least three days - 72 hours after delivery - with respect to quality, and will replace the product with another one if the flowers, plants or additional products that are the subject of any claim are returned to the executing flower shop within this period.

This guarantee is your assurance that your order will be executed with love and care, and that only the highest quality products will be used. However, should you not be satisfied with the delivery or quality, please let us know within 3 days latest from the date of delivery.

All orders are handled and processed exclusively by members of the Fleurop-Interflora organization.
