Terms and Conditions
By placing an order on the Fleur de Lis Flowers website or when calling our team
to place an order, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions.
If you have any questions regarding our terms and conditions or have any comments
or complaints on or about our website, please email us at
info@Fleurdelisflorist.co.uk or call us on 01628 675577 (from outside the
UK, dial +44 1628 675566).
Changes To Your Order
If you wish to make any changes to your order please call our team on 01628 675577(from
outside the UK, dial +44 1628 675566). Please note that any changes to your order
(delivery address, gift message) must be made at least 48 hours prior to delivery
to ensure that we have time to amend the order prior to dispatch. We cannot guarantee
to accept changes made to your order after that time.
Cancellation
Only cancellations which are given at least 2 working days before the intended delivery
date may be accepted. Orders placed or cancelled on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays
will be treated as having been received on the following working day. To cancel
orders, please call 01628 675577 (from outside the UK, dial +44 1628 675566). If
your order is entitled for cancellation, a small administrative charge may be deducted
to cover the credit card payment processing refund charges. This is on average approximately
5% of the order value.
You are entitled to cancel any payment at any time where fraudulent use has been
made of your credit or debit card by another person not acting on behalf of you
or as your agent and to be re-credited by us to the extent that such sums are not
reimbursed by the card issuer in such circumstances.
Refunds Policy
A full refund or replacement will be made where:
1. The request for the refund/replacement is received within 3days of the date of delivery.
2 The product has been returned to Fleur de Lis or our order executing Florist shop.
3 In the case flower bouquet, a refund will only be made for the complete item purchased
and unused. Refunds cannot be made for individual stems.
So, if for any reason you're
not absolutely 100% happy with your Fleur de Lis products please contact our team
via the contract page or by phone on 01628 675566 (from outside the UK, dial +44
1628 675566). We will be happy to arrange a replacement or deal with your refund.
We promise that if your unhappiness is any fault of ours, we'll always offer to
put things right with a full refund or a replacement and a sympathetic ear that
really, honestly and truly does care what you think.
Payment And Order Processing
Payment may be made by any of the methods indicated on the flowers payment page
of the Fleur de Lis Flowers Website and will be debited when you submit your order.
When you submit your order by clicking on the ['Place My Order’] button, you
are consenting to be bound by our terms and conditions contained in these Terms
and Conditions and appearing elsewhere on the Fleur de Lis Flowers Website.
For your order to be processed and delivered on the required date, you must supply
us with all the relevant details requested, including full delivery details, post
code and telephone number. Your order will only be processed if full payment details
are given.
Your order will be acknowledged via e-mail confirming your details, if you enter
a correct e-mail address. You will be issued an order reference number for any future
correspondence. All costs will be charged at the cost of the date on which you place
your order.
We will not consider ourselves bound by a contract with you until we have issued
an email acknowledging your order.
Our website has a secure checkout and we therefore encourage customers to place
their orders online. However, on occasion, when submitting customer's credit/debit
card details to our bank, we receive payment failures which prevent us from accepting
your order immediately.
Occasionally credit cards that are entered correctly and have sufficient funds are
not validated because the card issuer is performing a random security check. In
these cases, we will still have received your order but need to take payment over
the phone. We will email or call you in these circumstances. If you receive a message
to tell you that payment has not been validated, please contact our team immediately
on 01628 675577 (from outside the UK, dial +44 1628 675566) to ensure your order
is delivered on time.
Due to time differences, payments made out of office hours, or problems getting
hold of customers via the contact details they have provided, we are sometimes unable
to process a valid payment prior to the requested delivery date. If this is the
case, once we have received payment, we will deliver the flowers as soon as possible
to ensure that there is no further delay. Although this delay is regrettable, it
is outside our control and therefore we cannot offer any form of refund in these
circumstances.
Delivery
We deliver to any postal address in the UK ( England, Wales, Scotland and Northern
Ireland) and Channel Islands. Same day delivery is guaranteed only for bouquets
for which we have received your order before 12noon that day, except for more remote
locations within the UK where delivery can take up to 24 hours. All deliveries will
be only be made from Monday to Saturday. We also deliver to 140 overseas locations.
The list of countries can be found on our FAQ's under Ordering and "Can I send flowers
overseas/International?"
If the recipient is not in we will ask the neighbour next door if they mind accepting
the order on behalf of the recipient or leave the flowers in a secure location within
the premises. In the event that we're unable to leave the order securely, the flowers
will be brought back to the florist shop and we'll contact recipient to arrange
redelivery at no extra cost.
Either way, a card will be left at the recipient's address to inform them where
the flowers have been left or to call us for re-delivery at no extra cost.
Flowers sent to hospitals, military bases and business addresses will be delivered
to a main reception or mailing room prior to internal distribution. We recommend
that flowers sent to these locations be requested for delivery on a weekday and
not on a Saturday. Deliveries cannot be made to PO Box addresses.
Please note that We despatch your orders directly from our base in Maidenhead, Berkshire
to the following post codes which is basically a 10 mile /16km radius (HP9, HP10,
RG10, RG42, SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, SL6, SL7 and SL8). We have identify those as restricted
products/delivery in our website when you place orders. Everything else outside
those post codes We have teamed up with Teleflorist network one of the biggest Global
Networks of professional florists.
Our delivery service is NOT available on Sundays or UK public holidays. Where orders
have been placed for delivery on any of these dates and we are unable to contact
you in time, we will deliver, where possible, the flowers the day before or the
day after that date requested. We offer Sunday delivery for a small surcharge ONLY
for Mother's Day (Mothering Sunday) and if Valentines day or Christmas eve fall
on a Sunday
Under normal circumstances, we will try to ensure that your order is delivered to
the recipient's address you provide. However, there are times when this is not possible
due to problems with the address information or difficulties our drivers encounter
when trying to deliver. To avoid such problems please:
Ensure that the recipient address you provide is accurate.
Give additional instructions to assist our drivers with difficult-to-find addresses.
Keep us informed if you find that the recipient's address or availability changes
prior to the order being delivered.
Supply a contact number for the recipient so that if our driver is having problems
with delivery they can contact them directly.
Provide a "leave safe" area option if the recipient is not in when our driver attempts
delivery.
Where possible, we will attempt to obtain a signature from the intended recipient
of the flowers. In some circumstances, for example, when delivering to a hospital
or university, we may not be able to deliver the flowers directly to the intended
recipient. In this case, we will deliver to the reception area and obtain a signature
from the receptionist (or equivalent). This signature will be our record of delivery.
If you are unsure of the recipient's address, we recommend using one of the following
address lookup and validation websites:
www.royalmail.co.uk
www.192.com
We do appreciate that receiving flowers is often time-critical, so if we are unable
to deliver your order to the recipient's address, we will attempt to leave in a
secure place on the recipient's property. Where this is not possible, we will attempt
to leave the flowers with a neighbour. If this is not acceptable, please ensure
that you tell us when you place your order. If we are unable to deliver the order,
we will attempt to contact you via telephone or email as soon as we attempt delivery.
For this reason, it is very important that you provide this vital contact information.
In the event that we are unable to deliver the order to a correct recipient's address
that you have provided, we will attempt delivery the following day and refund the
delivery charge associated with the failed delivery. We are not responsible for
any other costs incurred by the customer due to failed deliveries.
If we are unable to deliver the order due to the recipient not being in at the time
of the original delivery then we will take one of the following courses of action:
If you provide the recipient's telephone number, we will try to contact them.
If we are unable to contact the recipient, we will try to contact you and upon request
will attempt re-delivery either that day, or where possible, the following day.
At our discretion, we may ask you to pay a further delivery charge if we had to
try more than twice.
Deliveries to Hospitals
All deliveries made to hospitals must include the ward name and or number in the
relevant address field. Any order omitting these details may not be accepted for
delivery by the hospital.
Deliveries to hospitals can often prove problematic as patients are moved from ward
to ward, or are discharged. This means that we sometimes are unable to deliver orders
for customers at a very emotional time. However, many of these problems can be resolved
by ensuring that we have accurate and up-to-date information about the ward that
the recipient is in.
It is particularly important that you provide the full name of the recipient of
the order as there can be several patients with the same name and this can lead
to delivery issues that are out of our control.
Delivery to business addresses
If you wish to order flowers for delivery to a business address, we make sure your
order is delivered during office hours 9am to 5pm. This is very important and if
the offices are outside standard 9.00 am to 5.00 pm please advise 24 hours security/reception
available to accept delivery. We can’t deliver to offices closed between 9am
to 5pm and PO Boxes.
Force Majeure
Neither we, nor any florist that we use shall be liable for any failure to perform,
where such failure or delay results from any circumstances outside our reasonable
control including but not limited to any fire, flood, explosion, accident, adverse
weather conditions, traffic congestion, mechanical breakdown, obstruction of any
private or public highway, riot, government act, act of war, terrorism, act of God,
or from any industrial dispute or strike whatsoever.
Flower Availability And Substitution
All products are subject to availability, and acceptance of your orders. In the
event of any supply difficulties or if the flowers we have received from our growers
that are needed to make up your order do not meet our high quality standards , we
reserve the right to substitute any product with an alternate product of a similar
style and equivalent (or greater) value and quality. Flowers may be delivered in
bud to ensure longer life. Some flower bouquet contents may be harmful if eaten
and/or a skin irritant. Please call our team on 01628 675577 (from outside the UK,
dial +44 1628 675566) if you wish to enquire about the safety of contents before
ordering.
Where substitution of flowers is necessary, we will try to contact you via email.
If you wish to discuss the substitution we have made, please contact our team.
If we are unable to contact you via the contact methods provided prior to the time
that we make up your order, we will assume that you accept the substitution.
Damaged Flowers
Although we do our best to ensure that this does not happen, on very rare occasions,
flowers arrive at their destination damaged. If the recipient receives damaged flowers,
please contact us immediately so that we can arrange one of the following:
A re-send where possible same day or next available delivery date.
Personal Messages
You must agree that any messages posted by you on your card or sent by us on your
behalf to a third party will not contain anything which could be construed as harassing,
threatening, vulgar, abusive, obscene, defamatory, racist or which may cause embarrassment
or distress to any person or are otherwise unlawful or objectionable.
You are entirely responsible for any text or other material which you post or send
on this message system and Fleur de Lis Flowers accepts no liability for any such
content. We do not pre-screen messages, but may monitor content from time to time.
We have the right to refuse to send or display messages and terminate access to
the relevant services at any time and without liability to you in the event of any
such objectionable message.
Special Offers
At our discretion from time to time, we may offer products at discounted prices.
These offers are valid from the time that we introduce them to the end date of the
offer and they cannot be used for purchases before the offer introduction date or
after the offer end date.
In the event that a customer has made a purchase and the price of a product falls
or is discounted due to a special offer, the price of the product at the time of
purchase shall 'prevail'. We are unable to offer special offer discounts for purchases
that have already been made.
As our special offers are often made available due to the availability of products,
we may change the terms of special offers, or withdraw them altogether, at any time
and without prior notice.
We also reserve the right to offer different personalised special offers and promotions
and it will therefore only be possible for the customer in receipt of the special
offer to redeem the discount.
Customer And Recipient Personal Information
To ensure that we can communicate effectively with both customers and recipients,
it is very important that you provide accurate personal information.
Please remember that we value your privacy and will never lease, rent or sell your
private information. For more information, please see our privacy policy.
At the checkout, we ask for the following personal information:
Customer email address - we use this information in the event that we need to make
substitutions or when we need to inform the customer of the order status. Please
ensure that email addresses are accurate.

customers in the event of problems with the order such as payment failures or delivery

accurate.
Recipient telephone number - we use this information to contact the recipient in
the event of a problem delivering your order. We will not contact the recipient
under any other circumstances.
Customer Services
Because of their perishable nature, flowers are non-returnable. This does not affect
your statutory rights. If you are not completely satisfied with your bouquet please
call our customer service helpline on 01628 675577 (from outside the UK, dial +44
1628 675566) from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday, quoting your order reference number

we advise you to make any complaint within 1 day of the date of delivery or intended
delivery of your purchase.
