Shipping & Delivery

During this time of anxiety and uncertainty, I wanted to reach out to say we are thinking of you as we navigate the current health crisis together. I also wanted to let you know that our company continues to prioritize the safety and well-being of our team members, their families and our customers.

Whatabloom is continuing to deliver smiles during the COVID19 outbreak. We have made changes to our delivery procedures to ensure the safety of our employees and your recipients.
