GENERAL

  • What Forms Of Payment Do You Accept?
    Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
  • What Should I Expect At Peak Holiday Times?
    We typically experience an increased volume of orders during major holiday periods such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day. While we normally guarantee delivery on the date of your choosing during regular seasons, we cannot guarantee delivery at a specific time during peak holiday times due to the influx of orders we receive. During these times we may ask you to select an alternate delivery date in the event we cannot meet your originally requested date. We ask that you keep this in mind when placing a holiday order and ensure that you read the important delivery information posted throughout our website.
  • Is It Safe To Use My Credit Card Online?
    Yes. We never send your personal information over the network in a way that is readable to anyone but us. We encrypt your information and send it over the Internet using SSL (secure socket layer) technology. When your browser is in secure mode you will notice a key or lock icon at the bottom of your browser window. Whatabloom does not rent or sell information we receive from web orders or e-mail registrations to third parties. For more information please refer to our Privacy Policy.

  • What Happens After I Place An Order?
    After placing an order online you will be directed to a confirmation page that will provide you with the invoice number pertaining to your order. This invoice number will also be sent to you via e-mail to the address you provided. Keep this number for your records and reference it in the event that you have any questions or concerns regarding your order. If you do not see a confirmation page after placing your order it means your order placement was unsuccessful and your credit card was not charged.
  • Help, My Arrangement Was Delivered Without A Message Card!
    Sorry! Sometimes message cards fall off in transit. If a card message was provided by the sender but did not arrive with the arrangement we will be happy to read the message to you via telephone or e-mail it to you.
  • Can I Include A Message With My Order For The Recipient?
    Yes, and it’s free! When placing an order you will be given the option to include a card message with your gift and will be asked for the message during the checkout process. If you do not wish to include a card message simply select the "No Message Required" option. Messages can contain up to 255 characters to ensure they fit neatly on our complimentary message cards. We respect the privacy of our customers and will only ever disclose the contents of a card message to the recipient or customer, never to anybody else. If you leave the card blank and your intended recipient contacts us to inquire about the sender, you can be assured that we will not disclose your personal details without your permission. As per our privacy policy, we will contact you first before we release any information about you to the recipient, including your name.
  • I Want My Delivery To Be A Surprise, Can I Do That?

  • How Do I Check The Status Of My Order?
    For products shipped in a gift boxes and items delivered by Whatabloom, you will be provided with a tracking link once the item is dispatched (you must create an account to use this function). For orders filled by our partner florists we cannot provide live updates as the status of every order changes from florist to florist. Our partner florists provide us with delivery confirmations each day at the end of the day; marking the order "delivered" is a manual task and not automatically updated. If you would like to check the status of an order being delivered by one of our partner florists you can call our customer service department at 1-888-339-9666 and we will contact them to ask for a status update on your behalf. We do not send e-mail delivery confirmations.
  • Why Did My Flowers Arrive In Bud Form?
    In some cases, flowers and plants may arrive in prior-to-peak condition. This is because we like for recipients to enjoy their bouquet longer. For example, lilies may arrive in bud form and will open to full beauty within two to three days. Immediately adding lukewarm water and flower food will help speed up the blooming process.
  • I Was Not Pleased With My Service Or Have A Suggestion, Who Can I Contact?

Substitutions

  • Will The Arrangement I Purchase Be True To The Picture On The Website?
    Minor substitutions may be made to your arrangement for various reasons. Specific flowers may be out of season, our product shipments may be delayed or weather conditions may affect what is in stock . The following substitution rules may apply to your order: Flowers: In arrangements of assorted flowers, colours are subject to availability and colour substitutions may apply. The colors shown online will be used if they are available even if this means substituting other kinds of flowers of greater value. Specialty flower arrangements: Such as an all rose or all lily bouquet, we will make every attempt to match the flower type but colour is subject to availability. Plants: For green and blooming plants, similar plants may be substituted of equal or greater value. Specialty plants: Such as orchids, we will make every attempt to match the plant type but colour is subject to availability.
  • What If I Am Not Happy With The Substitutions Made?

If you are not satisfied with the substitutions applied to your order we encourage you to get in touch with us within 24 hours of delivery and provide images so we can better asses discrepancies and determine course of action.
