Depending on the items ordered and the time of year your items may arrive separately.

Can I order a delivery to go to my place of work or another address?

Yes, we accept alternative addresses at checkout – just choose a billing address and a separate delivery address. Please note that it is your responsibility to make sure that the delivery address is accessible for the delivery vehicle and is able to accept the delivery.

What happens if I am out when the delivery arrives?

During the checkout process you are able to leave delivery instructions to make sure your order is left in a safe place.

Do I need to sign for my delivery?

No, our couriers are instructed to follow the delivery instructions provided by the customer at checkout and if no instructions are given, leave the order in a safe place/with a neighbour. If someone is available to receive the order the courier may ask for a signature.

BARE ROOT ROSES: Bare root roses ordered between June and November are not delivered until November and December of that year.

STANDARD ROSES: Due to their size, Standard Roses will be delivered separately to other items.

NON-ROSE ITEMS: To prevent damage, soil, books and homeware items are shipped separately, to be delivered on a nominated day or by standard 3-5 day delivery, depending on your chosen service level.
