All orders work under an "Authority To Leave" system. Our couriers have the authority to leave flowers at, or near the front door if we deem safe to do so. If necessary, we will contact the recipient or sender to let them know where the flowers have been left. If you’d like us to leave them somewhere else, just let us know when you place your order. Please consider if the delivery address has security gates and codes or they live in an apartment building, remember to let us know how we can access the property. If there is nowhere safe to leave the flowers, we will contact the sender to re-arrange delivery at an extra cost of $15. If we are unable to make contact, Foliar is unable to re-deliver, replace or refund the product.

Delivery can be made to either a residential, businesses, schools or hospital addresses. We will attempt to deliver to the specific details provided. Sometimes however the flowers are delivered to the front desk or reception and directed to the recipient from there. We cannot take responsibility if they do not collect or are not delivered from there. We also take no responsibility for theft, so it’s recommended the flowers are delivered to a secure location. We want the beautiful flowers you have bought to be delivered as intended.


What days do you deliver?

We deliver 6 days a week (Monday-Sunday). With the exception of floral peak times - Christmas, Valentines, Mother’s Day - we do not deliver on Sundays or public holidays. This includes national and local public holidays.


What are your cut off times?

Our drivers usually pickup around 11am so same day delivery is available for orders placed by 9am. Orders after this will be delivered the following day. Alternatively you can select a specific day into the future using our date selection calendar at checkout.
Note: During floral peak times same day delivery will not be available.

 

When will my order be delivered & can I select a delivery time?

Please note, our delivery window is from 8am - 7pm. Due to our order volume and the fact that we use external delivery services with their own varying schedule we cannot guarantee to deliver during a specific timeframe other than this window. You can however indicate a preferred time in the special instructions and we will do our best to accommodate.

 

Can I track my order?

Upon the completion of your order, you will receive confirmation via email or mobile, depending on the details you have left in the "Sender" information on the website. After that, the next confirmation you will receive is the when the order is either collected by our courier service or dropped off at the delivery address by one of our team members. As we use a number of delivery methods, both in house and via external delivery services, we are unable to offer real time tracking of our orders. Rest assured that your delivery will be made between 8am - 7pm and should there be any reason we are unable to deliver during this time, we will notify you of any delays.

 

Can I pick up from in store?

Yes, we are open Monday to Friday 9am – 6pm and Saturday’s 9am – 5pm. You place a pick up order online by selecting the “pick up” option on the drop down box or via phone on 028 3026 2171. We also have a selection of fresh flowers available in store and are happy to put an arrangement together on the day.
To comply with liquor licensing requirements listed above, all floral arrangements with the added option of containing alcoholic beverages can not be collected in store as they must be delivered to another place other than the business where the sale is made.

 

Does the receiver need to be home for delivery?

No, the receiver does not need to be home to receive the delivery however, we must be able to leave it in a safe and secure location.
The box contains a living plant therefore needs to be kept in a shaded position
We take no responsibility for theft, so it’s recommended we have access to leave the flowers in a secure location.


Delivery can be made to either a residential or commercial address during business hours, so your gift can be delivered to the receivers home or work address.


Consider if the delivery address is a gated complex or one that requires access to leave at the recipient’s door. If we are unable to access the address, at our discretion a re-delivery fee (dependant on delivery area) may apply whereby we would contact you and re-delivery may not be completed until payment for this fee is received. 

 

Will the flowers contained be different to the picture on the website ?

We try our best to match what you see on the site but sometimes we have to substitute colour or varieties. Please keep in mind that flowers and foliage are a perishable product which means specific varieties may differ each week based on seasonality and availability.

How do I care for my flowers

To maximise the freshness and lifespan of your blooms. Change the water every other day and recut the stems on an angle. Remove all lower leaves from flowers so they aren’t in the water and display the flowers in a cool place, out of direct sunlight.
