The Flower Delivery Company is an online florist listed at Huapai, in Rodney, and its website describes it as 100% New Zealand owned. It has been sending flowers since 2013, and the website says its floral designers have more than 36 years of experience between them. Bouquets and arrangements use roses, gerberas, carnations and lilies, and the range runs from pastel to bright colours. Gifts are also sold. The website describes same-day delivery and a 7-day guarantee, and says flowers are sourced from local growers. Customers can order online, and the website says a photo of each arrangement is sent before delivery, with a dispatch email that includes the photo.
Customers say the service is prompt and the communication is good. One buyer ordered a large vase bouquet and said it was stunning, and another praised the delivery of flowers to a relative and the photo sent beforehand. One customer was not happy: the bouquet looked different from the photos, the leaves were not the same, and they felt they had paid $89 for mostly grass with few flowers. The reviews show the service is strong on delivery and communication, with some mixed views about how the bouquet matches the photo.
