1.2 Can I send an anonymous message?

Yes, this is certainly possible. The recipient will only see the text that you have placed on the card.

Your personal information will never be passed on to third parties, not even to the recipient of the flowers or other gift.

1.3 I want to change my order?

Contact our customer service as soon as possible via the contact form or by telephone on +32(0)36582600

1.4 Can I place multiple orders at the same time?

You must place a separate order with us for each address. This is because shipping costs are calculated per address and not per product.

If you want to have multiple items delivered to 1 address, this will count as 1 order and you will pay the shipping costs once.

For large numbers of bouquets/orders, please contact us:[email protected]

1.5 Can I track my order?

In our region: You will receive an email from us that your order has been delivered to the correct person.


Not in our region: After you have received an email that the order is ready for departure, you will receive an email from one of our couriers with the track & trace code. Using this code you can see exactly when the flowers will be on location!

Didn't receive Track & Trace? It may be that it is in spam because it is an email from an external email address.

3 Delivery
3.1 What are the delivery costs?

The delivery costs for a delivery in Belgium are €8.00

The delivery costs for a delivery in neighboring countries are €14.50

3.2 What if the recipient is not at home?

If the recipient is not at home, the flowers will be delivered to the neighbors and the recipient will receive a note in the mail with the address where the flowers were delivered. If we are unable to deliver to the nearest neighbors, we will leave a card asking you to contact us. This only applies to deliveries in our work area(*)

For deliveries via the webshop, i.e. delivered by a courier or a postal worker, the recipient will be asked to pick up the product at a collection point or the post office.

3.3 What if the flowers are not delivered?

98% of all orders are delivered on the desired delivery date.
So in 2% of cases an order is delayed due to calamities.

This could be incorrect sorting or perhaps bad luck on the road for the driver. Because we work together with delivery services, these are unsurmountable situations. We ask for your understanding for this.

3.4 Where do you all deliver? (*)

We deliver throughout Belgium - Netherlands - Luxembourg - Germany - France.


(*) our main working area: Berendrecht, Brasschaat, Brecht, Ekeren, Essen, Gooreind, Hoevenen, Kalmthout, Kapellen, Lilo, Loenhout, Sint-job-in-'t-goor, Sint-Lenaarts, Stabroek, Wuustwezel, Zandvliet.  

NL: Hoogerheide, Huijbergen, Ossendrecht, Putte, Woensdrecht.

3.5 When will the flowers be delivered?

Whenever you want!

We have a handy calendar for the products on which you can easily indicate the desired delivery date. This way you can place an order for the same or the next day or in the future.

A daytime delivery takes place between 08:00 and 19:00

During busy days for the delivery staff, your order may be delivered slightly outside the time slot. When your order is completed you will receive a track and trace code to follow your order. This will give you a more specific delivery time.

3.6 Do you deliver on public holidays?

Yes, only in our main work area.

Berendrecht, Brasschaat, Brecht, Ekeren, Essen, Gooreind, Hoevenen, Kalmthout, Kapellen, Lilo, Loenhout, Sint-job-in-'t-goor, Sint-Lenaarts, Stabroek, Wuustwezel, Zandvliet.  


NL: Hoogerheide, Huijbergen, Ossendrecht, Putte, Woensdrecht.

3.7 Do you also deliver to hospitals, hotels, nursing homes and campsites?

Yes of course, but please provide us with as much information about the recipient as possible. E.g. which department, which room number, maiden name, etc.

Always providing the recipient's mobile or landline telephone number can be useful to get the flowers to the right place.

This information is treated confidentially by us. Only applicable to deliveries within our working area(*) and by a Firenze Bloemenatelier employee.

 

With online shipments, the postal worker or courier only delivers to the counter of the institution. After that, internal staff will take over. As a customer, keep this in mind. We, Firenze Bloemenatelier, are not responsible for any incorrect delivery or lost delivery.

3.8 I would like to order something for a funeral, what information do you need?

When ordering for a funeral or cremation, it is extremely important that the flowers are delivered to the correct address and time. Please provide us with as much information as possible, such as the name of the funeral home, name of the church, name of the deceased, date and time of the farewell, etc. It is best to fill in or provide this information during the order.  

Tip: Make sure that you direct the text on the ribbon or card to the deceased. Not to the surviving relative! A text such as 'we wish you the best of luck' is therefore not appropriate. You can think of, for example, 'Rest in peace' or 'A last greeting' or, for example, your own family name.

3.9 Can I specify a delivery time?

Yes, you can report this when placing orders. We try to take this into account as much as possible, but we cannot give any guarantees. If you want to be sure that your order is possible for a specific time, please contact us by telephone.

However, with funeral arrangements you are always guaranteed that the flowers will be delivered before the time you specify. If for any reason this does not work, we will contact you.

This only applies to orders via the store and in our work area(*)

Orders via the webshop are excluded.

3.10 I have received an order, but without a sender. What now?

There is no message or card attached to the bouquet or with the gift. Normally an order form is added to every order. This may be located at the bottom of the packaging. If you cannot find this, please contact our store and provide your reference.

If no name is mentioned on the card, the sender wishes to remain anonymous. We respect his wishes and the law on privacy.

3.11 Delivery to public places? (e.g. Churches, Cemetery, etc.)

We offer this, but only in our work area (*).

As a customer, please note that there is a risk associated with deliveries in a public place. We strongly recommend that you choose an address of a physical person who can receive the collies.

If you still wish to have delivery in a public place, the customer is responsible.

5.2 How long do I have a warranty on the flowers?

Additionally, keep in mind that flowers are living objects. One flower may have more than another. I cannot offer the 7-day freshness guarantee that they use in supermarkets and garden centers for my products.

What I can offer is a “fresh and honest guarantee”. Our flowers have been treated with love and given time to grow and bloom until they can be sold.

 

5.3 The symbols of flowers and plants with a short description.

Our legend of the symbols/icons I use on firenzebloemen.be.

Pot size/P:

Pot sizes are the contents of the pot. It is important to know that the P stands for pot size followed by the size in centimeters, so a p9 pot is a pot of 9×9 centimeters. Read more

Height:

  The height of the plant. From ground to top of the leaves.


Location/Lighting:

 

Full sun: flowers and/or plants like to be in full sun.

 

Partial shade: flowers and/or plants that tolerate less light, little sun.

 

  Shade: flowers and/or plants that need less light and no direct sunlight.

 

Moisture requirements/watering: 

The starting point is the moisture of the root ball. The amount of irrigation water depends on the temperature, humidity and the size of the plant. During the flowering period the plant usually needs more water. The need is small during the rest period.

  A little water once every 2 weeks
  Moderate water once a week
  Lots of water twice a week
  Dipping once a week
  Plants Spray once a week

    Once every 2 months
  Once a month

5.4 P stands for pot size

It is important to know that the P stands for pot size followed by the size in centimeters, so a p9 pot is a pot of 9×9 centimeters. Below is a handy list with the pot sizes and contents of the pot.

It does not automatically mean that a larger pot size also means a larger plant, but a plant in a larger pot has more space to root, so you already have a stronger plant with a larger root system. This plant has more strength to shoot, so it grows faster and is often fuller.

Pot size LxBxH in cm Diameter in cm Volume in liters
P7 7x7x8 0,4
P9 9x9x10 0,7
P10,5   Ø11 1,0
P13    Ø13 1,3
P14    Ø14 1,5
P15    Ø17 2,0
P17    Ø19 3,0
P19    Ø21 4,0

Almost all submitted reviews appear online on our website within a few hours. We only disapprove a review if it does not meet our rules:
