Delivery policy

1. The standard delivery time is one business day. We guarantee same-day delivery if the order is placed and paid before 12 a.m. local recipient's time. In 'Additional information' in the order form, you may specify the preferred delivery time. However, in some cases, the specified time is only a recommendation since the delivery schedule is set up by local partners on their own. The recipient is given a call before the delivery takes place;
2. In remote localities, the delivery period may be extended up to 2–3 business days if weather conditions or any other acts of God do not allow our couriers from the nearest city to fulfill delivery;
3. The availability of the recipient's phone number in order details is a mandatory requirement for order placement;
4. If a Customer places the order for the first time through our Service he / she should call our office (the phone numbers above) to confirm the order placement. If a Customer does not give us a call, our managers will try to reach the Customer on the phone specified in the registration form. Attention! The order is put on hold until we have the Customer's confirmation!

The Customer's fault

1. The recipient provided a wrong or incomplete address or telephone number, a wrong delivery time, an untimely payment for the order, etc. We will take an additional 10 USD if delivery was attempted but the address, or other contact information turned out to be wrong;
2. A Customer does not confirm the first order placement.

The fault of our delivery service

In this case, we carry full responsibility for the work of our delivery network, our responsibility will not exceed the amount of your order. Usually, we refund the money and deliver at our expense.

We always try to contact the recipient before attempting delivery to make sure that he / she is there to accept the order. We do it either by telephone, by sending a telegram, or by leaving a tag on the door if the phone number is missing or unavailable. Exceptions are possible if a customer requests the order be delivered without contacting the recipient first.

In the event that the recipient is not at home at the moment of delivery after having arranged the time of delivery with us or if the customer has requested delivery without prior notice, we have the right to do one of the following:

— leave the flowers with the neighbors;
— leave a tag on the recipient's door, asking him\her to call us back and arrange the time of delivery.

In both cases, we do not carry any further responsibility for the time of delivery or quality of the flowers. We do not issue a refund for such orders.

Refund policy

If the delivery doesn't occur due to a wrong or incomplete recipient address or telephone number, the money can be either left on your account with Solard company or refunded. In the latter case, we will have to keep 10 USD as a refund-processing fee.

Substitution policy

Depending on the season and period, the availability of certain sorts of flowers in different regions may be quite limited. Besides, flowers of certain shades may be missing on the delivery date. Thus, the delivery of a bouquet / flower arrangement quite identical to the one shown on the website may be impossible.

In this case, our local florists will deliver a similar or upgraded arrangement. We are doing our best to keep the original shape, size, and color range of the requested bouquet / flower arrangement; however, some deviations are allowed to occur. In a single-type-flower arrangement (like a rose bouquet), keeping the flower type will prevail over color matching.

Attachments (plush toys, chocolate boxes, and champagne) may vary according to the assortment of a certain region. Our general responsibility is to maintain the quality and integrity of the items delivered.

Cancellation policy

If, for some reason, you cancel the order or update the order details, please let us know about that as soon as possible. We will immediately accept your request for cancellation or order update, provided the request is sent before delivery takes place. It is preferred to notify customers of necessary updates 48 hours prior to the alleged delivery time.

An order cannot be cancelled if local florists have already made the requested flower arrangement.

If local florists are unable to deliver the order due to the wrong recipient's address, we will notify you immediately. In some cases, you will have the opportunity to re-direct your order to another recipient, even in another city / country.

If you are not satisfied with the quality of the delivered flowers, please notify us of that as soon as possible after having described the issue in detail. Due to the perishable nature of the goods delivered, we are not able to accept claims sent within 48 hours after delivery takes place. Please note that the receipt signed by the recipient has a statement 'no claims on the quality of the items delivered' and a detailed description of the delivered items. Thus, we hope the recipient will make the necessary notes in the receipt in case the flower quality is unsatisfactory. We respect our Customers and do our best to satisfy them. But we ask our Customers to realize that their claim must be understandable and reasonable.
