Payment
Can I make payment from Overseas?
Hello from afar! Yes, certainly. We have a secure Pay Fast system that accepts VISA, MASTERCARD and AMERICAN EXPRESS cards. Our Snapscan VISA/MASTERCARD/DINERS CLUD option is also available for international payments and does not require you to have the Snapscan app. Unfortunately, we do not accept EFT payments from offshore accounts (Direct Bank Transfer). Should you have any trouble or questions regarding payment, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will guide you through the process. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
What payment methods do you offer?
Payment can be made with a Credit or Debit Card (Visa/mastercard/Diners Club), Debit card, EFT (South African banks only), Snap Scan, and Zapper. We do not accept Forex as a payment option or EFT’s from overseas banks.
Flowers
My flowers look droopy
Flowers and greenery use water to prop-up their stems, so, if yours look sad, they’ll just need a trim and to stand in fresh cold water overnight.
My roses look sad
We intentionally keep the 'guard' petals on our roses to protect them during transit; these are the oldest and toughest outer petals, which can make the flower look tired and brown. Gently remove the outer 2-3 petals to reveal the new and soft petals inside and allow the flower to begin opening up.
The stems were damaged upon delivery
While we do our very best to protect your flowers on their journey to you, very occasionally they can have a bad trip. Please contact us with 1-2 photos of the stems you’re worried about so we can take care of this for you.
What is the bottle I received with my posy?
A complimentary bottle of posy food is delivered with every posy; to enhance the longevity and vibrancy of your flowers, please decant the entirety of the bottle’s contents into 1L of fresh, clean water.
My flowers didn’t last very long
We guarantee that most of our flowers will last for 7 days; with regular stem trims and water changes, posies can last up to 10 days. But you’ll find that other stems naturally don’t last as long and will need taking out of your vase earlier.
My Posy looks smaller than the one advertised
We send our flowers out ‘closed bud’ which means that upon arrival the Posy may not look quite as expected; once the blooms have been trimmed and arranged in a vase you will see the buds open over the next few days, giving the recipient a longer vase life with their Posy,
