Tips From The Pros

Here  are some helpful tips to make sure the florist and delivery driver have what  they need to get the job done:

1) Place  your order well in advance of the requested delivery time or date whenever  possible. The sooner a florist has your order, the better.

2) Make  sure your recipient's delivery information is complete. Apartment numbers,  suite numbers, business names and telephone numbers are very important.

3) When  delivering to a work place, let the florist know how late your recipient will  be there. Most florists deliver up until 5 p.m. and if your recipient only  works until 3 p.m., it is important for the florist and delivery driver to  know. It is also helpful for a delivery driver to know what department or area  the recipient works in, so try to include as much information as possible.

4) When  delivering to a hospital, make sure you indicate whether or not the delivery is  for an employee or a patient.

5) Let  the florist do their job. . . when selecting an arrangement, choose something as  generic as possible and let the florist create something special to suit the  occasion.
