Petaljet is a direct-from-farm shipper, which means we ship from the farm's door to your door without any warehousing. We do not hold any inventory in Miami or any other city in the US. This is great for you because you get extremely fresh flowers.However, there are times when the importation process takes longer than expected. This can be due to airline delays or mechanical issues, US Customs, or weather conditions. In addition, due to the increase in parcel shipping across the globe, there are staffing issues at major airport hubs. For all of these reasons, FedEx sometimes experiences shipping delays. Please make sure you always allow for an extra 24 hours in your timing to accomodate a delay. Here are the facts on shipping delays:10% of all orders experience a 24 hour delay.1% of all orders experience a 48 hour delay.We recommend all orders that are for an event be scheduled to deliver at least 4 days before the event. For example, an order for a Saturday event should be scheduled to deliver on the Tuesday before. Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for FedEx delays and therefore we do not reimburse any orders that arrive after an event.
