Q. Will my gift look exactly like the one in the photo?
A. We make every effort to ensure that the flowers featured on our pages are in season and available. In some areas with shorter growing seasons some flowers may not always be available. In rural areas of the United States, and in other countries, particular flowers (such as exotic or tropical varieties) may not be available at any time. We reserve the right to substitute flowers of like color, appearance, and value. Because of the popularity of some floral arrangements, we also reserve the right to substitute pictured vases and decorative containers with ones similar in shape, color, value, and style. In the case of our not having a colored vase available, we will most often substitute a clear glass vase, adding a bow to represent the color of the pictured vase.

Q. Will I have to pay sales tax on my order?
A. Some states require that we collect sales tax, generally on the full amount of the order including delivery. If this is the case, the correct amount will be calculated automatically and show up on your total in the checkout area of our site.

Q. Are there any additional fees or charges?
A. Our flower, balloon and some fruit basket prices include a small transmission fee that may be retained on orders filled through a local florist. This fee helps us deal with the difference of prices found in various U.S. metro area markets.

Q. What forms of payment do you accept?
A. We accept most major credit cards, including American Express, Diners Club, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. All payments must be in U.S. funds. Prices may vary based on location and availability.
