Flowers for Everyone

  • Best prices: we compared some old favourites across a few of the florist sites (e.g.: red roses, gerberas..)  and Flowers for Everyone came up with the best price every time.
  • Easy use site: the site is a pleasure to navigate and so easy to use. Images are large and clear and product descriptions are detailed.
  • Free delivery: prices are inclusive of delivery which, when considering how affordable the flowers are, we figure might it as well be free!
  • Glorious range: they're range isn't the largest, but they offer a diverse and unique assortment of bouquets, vases, and boxes so you are sure to find something perfect.

plusWhy buy flowers online?

  • Broad range: broad range of flowers to choose from - you’re not restricted to one shop’s stock nor limited to their pricing.
  • Convenience: you can browse a huge range of flowers in your own time, anytime.
  • Delivery: flowers are most often delivered using refrigerated vans, so flowers arrive as fresh as can be.
  • Location: great for those of us in regional areas or not near a major shopping centre.

 

hotHot tips:

  • Consider seasonal flowers: like seasonal fruit they’re better quality, cheaper and have less impact on the environment.
  • Lock in a delivery time: 1300Flowers lets you lock  in a 3 hour window when they guarantee your flowers will be delivered. That beats waiting around all day wondering if the flowers made it to their destination.
  • Packaging and location: ensure you choose flowers that have packaging suitable to the delivery location. For example, people at work won't have a vase handy, so get a bouquet in a box or vase so your flowers don't end up in a coffee mug on their desk.

watch out Watch out for:

  • Dodgy suppliers: you may find that your online florist uses any supplier in a particular region, without knowing who they are. If they don't know their suppliers personally then they are compromising on the quality of the flowers. Check that the online store has a process around selecting their suppliers and knows they're a good source.
  • Delivery of alcohol: if your arrangement includes a bottle of alcohol you need to ensure that the person signing for the flowers is over 18, otherwise the order cannot legally be delivered. Additionally, alcohol cannot be left outside a door or on a verandah, so be sure someone of age will be able to sign.
