No, but you can live chat with us, or send us an email – and after that if we think we need to chat to you on the phone we can give you a ring.

During the pandemic we closed our phone lines because our team needed to work at home (and the phones couldn't go with them). What we soon realised is that we were able to help more customers using email, live chat and social media. Problems were solved more efficiently, meaning more people got their questions answered quickly. We decided not to re-open our phone lines because we want to keep helping as many people as we can.

Many flowers are seasonably available and this may vary depending on region and country.

Therefore, sometimes, the florist may need to substitute one flower variety or plant, or indeed packaging and sundry items, for another. When doing so, Interflora florists must adhere to strict substitution guidelines detailed below.

  1. Any substitution will be of superb quality to ensure customer satisfaction.
  2. The colour and shape of the chosen product must take priority and no change in size or shape is permissible.
  3. The value of the replacement flower or plant will be equal to, or greater than, the original variety.
  4. When substitution is made, the utmost care is taken to provide flowers or plants which maintain the overall effect of the gift.
