1. What are your business hours?
Our shop is open from 8AM to 6PM from Monday to Saturday, and from 9AM to 2PM
on Sundays. Our support staff is available to take calls after hours and at any time so
please feel free to call if you have any inquiries.
2. If I place an order for an arrangement, can it be delivered on the same day?
Generally Yes, we can accommodate same-day deliveries as long as the order is placed
before 2PM local time. There will be exceptions to this as deliveries are dependent on the
drivers’ route, which vary daily. We will do our absolute best to accommodate your
request. Our farm direct in a gift box items can not be delivered the same day.
3. What if the recipient is not home?
If no one is available to receive the
arrangement, we will sometimes leave the arrangement at the door or we
may have to contact the recipient to let them know of the delivery
attempt and to see when the best time of delivery would be. If we do not
hear back from the recipient, we will automatically schedule the
redelivery the following day.
4. How do I know if my order has been delivered?
Check Status . You can call 877.638.3033 A delivery confirmation is often sent via email, once the delivery has been made and it has been entered it into our system. In addition, you will likely receive a phone call from
a thankful recipient!
5. Why are your prices low?
We are one of the largest florists in the country and we are also a wholesale florist that sells flowers to many retail florists. We have a huge inventory of fresh flowers that we purchase at fraction of the price most florists pay. We pass those savings on to our customers.
6. Why are the prices at other florists so high?
Many florists buy in small quantity and they pay very high price for these flowers. A typical wholesale florist has huge mark ups when they sell to retail florists. Many retail florists also do very little volume, just a few deliveries a day. These florists are of the mindset that they need to make a lot of money on each order to be profitable so they charge high prices.
7. Why do your flowers last longer?
The typical retail florist buys flowers in small quantities from a wholesale florists inventory that may be up to 2 weeks old at the time of purchase! That retail florist may not turn over that inventory quickly either. Flowers do last a long time in a cooler but taken out of that cooler for use when flowers are older they simply do not last. We bypass the wholesale florist-as we are one ourselves-so we buy direct from the farm. In fact we get our flowers delivered in tractor trailers! Many shops are stopping at a wholesaler in the morning picking up a box or a bunch of flowers! Our product is simply much fresher then what our competitors may be offering due to the way we buy.
8. Can I specify the time of delivery?
We will do our best to meet your delivery requirements let us know what you are looking for in special instructions when ordering online or over the phone. It is not practical to specify an exact time however before 2PM or after 1PM type of requests we can usually meet. When it comes to schools, businesses and sympathy service times we understand the time sensitive nature. Sometimes weather, short notice and location can make your request not possible but we will make every effort to make you happy with prompt delivery.
9. How much does it cost to have flowers delivered?
Avas Flowers has a service and handling fee of
$13.95 for hand delivered florist orders and prices start at $18.95 for gift box delivered items. In the event that the delivery
address is a remote or rural location, additional fees may apply and we
will contact you to let you know. If we receive an incorrect delivery
address, we may charge an additional service and handling fee to reroute
the arrangement.
10. What can I do if I am not happy with the flowers that were delivered?
In the unlikely event this happens be assured Avas Flowers will do our best to make you happy. We will pick up and redeliver another arrangement if you notify us within 7 days of receiving the flowers. Since most of our products are perishable goods, we do not accept returns and we typically do not issue refunds as there is a 50% restocking fee. However, our caring and experienced staff will ensure your satisfaction to the best of our ability. If the recipient keeps the flowers delivered and we are not asked to pick up and redeliver another arrangement we will not issue a refund.
11. What if I don’t have the exact delivery address?
If you do not have the exact delivery address, we will do our best to
locate your recipient. However, unless we receive a physical address
from the sender, we cannot be held responsible for inaccurate or
misplaced deliveries. A phone number for the recipient in many cases
allows us to locate the recipient.
12. Where are you located?
Most of the time when you call you will reach our home shop. We do field calls from several of our locations depending upon a variety of factors like the time of day and call volume. We have affiliated shops throughout the country that provide local florist flower delivery. We select our affiliated shops based on their time proven ability to meet Avas flowers criteria of offering a high level of quality flowers and service.
13. Do you contribute or donate to local nonprofits and organizations?

gift certificates for raffles for a dozen roses or entire boxes of 200 roses so your
organization may do the floral centerpieces for a charitable event. If you are a non profit
