We always want to ensure that the recipient actually receives them, and in wonderful condition to enjoy as long as possible. We also strive to minimize the number of trips to the home or office, so that there is less likelihood of additional fees for you. If they are not at home, our first choice is to leave it with a neighbor, safely inside. During the cooler winter months, sometimes it's cool enough in the shade to leave the flowers by the front door. in either case, we call the recipient and let them know where to find the flowers. Some of our clients ask us to call the recipient ahead of time to make arrangements, either for a time frame or delivery window, or where to leave them if they are not home.
