Drop-Off
Provided here are the drop-off instructions you may use yourself, or give to a friend or family member. Since drop-off is allowed at any point during the day/night, I may not be available during the time someone calls if they happen to get lost.
As many bouquets are received, I ask that you PLEASE label your flowers with a note, or send a photo of them after they are dropped off. If there isn't sufficient space in the flower bar itself, please feel free to leave them on the bench, or anywhere there is space. Don't worry, they are always safe here.
Feel free to screenshot and share all of this information.

Night-of, Day After Options
PRO-TIP-Uber your flowers!
If you are unfamiliar with Uber Courier, to put it simply, it is like calling an Uber- but for your flowers, and for a fraction of the cost of a normal ride.
Whether it is a family member or friend, the drivers information will be shared with them so they can see the exact location of the driver, their cars make and model, and license plate number.
For night of- choose someone reliable to help with this task! It is very convenient, as the person can see how the timing with everything is going, and then once you’re done with your flowers they can schedule the Uber Courier at their convenience!
They may be sent to me at any time of day/night, just let me know you are choosing this option so I can prepare my flower bar, and so I know that it’s your flowers that are arriving.
Choose the “leave at door” option, not “meet at curb”, as I may be unavailable at the time the flowers are scheduled to arrive.

Shipping
Shipping may seem complicated, but if the instructions are followed, there should be no issue. Overnight shipping is mandatory. If possible, it is a better idea to ship your flowers out on a Monday rather than a Saturday. This is because we definitely do not want your flowers sitting in a hot warehouse for even a day or two while the postal services are closed. In the meantime until you ship, just make sure they are in fresh water with the stems trimmed.
Shipping Instructions
1. Depending on the size of your bouquet, a medium or large box will be needed. Trimming the stems to make it fit works great.
2. Pack some brown packing paper in the bottom of the box for added cushion and protection.
3. Wrap damp paper towels around the stems (cut at an angle to soak in the water). Then, place a plastic baggie around the paper towels (Stems Only, DO NOT put any plastic over the flowers, they will rot) and secure with a rubber band or elastic.
4. Carefully wrap some brown packing paper around the bouquet itself to help keep the flowers together during shipping. Tissue paper works as well.
5. Gently place the bouquet in the box and cover it with the brown packing paper to provide protection on the top. Again, NO plastic covering or wrapping the flowers. Plastic on the flowers WILL cause them to rot and be unusable. Tape up the box and ship! I recommend overnighting with FedEx. Choose ‘NO’ signature as I am not always the one to accept or be available at every hour.
As long as they provide proof of delivery (a photo/a location) that works fine.
Feel free to explore PIRATESHIP.com for DIY options on delivery services that can come straight to your door to do the pickups, along with the pricing they offer. Remember, you MUST choose overnight shipping for any shipping option.
