Fresh Flower and Plant Delivery Guidelines

ordering

The Flora North team wants ordering online to be an easy, user-friendly process. The following are bits of information meant to help you along the way:

special instructions

The “special instructions” box on your order form is meant to give you a place to write any special requests you may have regarding your order (preferred color palette, flower selection, delivery time…). The Flora North team will do its best to service any “special instructions” you choose to write in this box but cannot guarantee that your requests will be fulfilled. If your special instructions are essential to your order, we recommend that you place your order by phone (218.279.3444) so you can speak with us directly about what you’re hoping for.

card message

The message that you choose to write in the “card message” box of your order is the message that we will send with your order. None of your billing or personal information is included with your order.

sales tax

Flora North abides by Minnesota tax laws and therefore charges a percentage-based sales tax on all orders. Delivery charges are tax-free.

order confirmation

Your order will be confirmed as having been received via email. If you do not receive a confirmation email, your order has not been confirmed.

cancelling an order

Cancellations of fresh flower and plant orders must be received at least 48 hours in advance of your scheduled delivery date. Any cancellations made after this time will not qualify for a refund. Same-day orders are processed immediately and cannot be cancelled under any circumstances. If you have a request for cancellation of an order, please contact us immediately at 218.279.3444.

substitutions

Flora North is committed to creating fresh and personalized designs for every order we take. On occasion you may select a design from our site, elements of which are unavailable. In this case, we will need to make a substitution. The following are guidelines we will follow when such an occasion arises:

fresh flower orders

For fresh flower orders, we will make every effort to maintain the “look” and “feel” of the arrangement you have chosen by considering the flowers, colors, shape, texture and design style you have selected. If a major substitution is necessary, we will attempt to contact you by phone.

plant orders

For plant orders, similar plants may be substituted of equal or greater value. For one-of-a-kind plants, such as orchids, we will make every attempt to match the plant type but may substitute with another color. Container styles for plant orders will be as similar to the original selection as possible.

time-sensitive orders

We understand that orders for some occasions (funerals, birthdays, anniversaries…) require timely deliveries. Should we need to make substitutions for such orders, we will contact you as soon as possible. If, however, we are unable to contact you via the information you provided, we will deliver the order with the substitution made due to its time-sensitive nature.

delivery

Flora North is committed to delivering quality products in a timely and friendly manner. We strive for excellent delivery service on each order we take. The following are answers to “frequently asked questions” regarding fresh flower and plant deliveries:
