2. Changes to your order

If you wish to change your order, please contact us. Please note that changes to your order, such as change of delivery address or card message must be made at least 6 hours before the delivery is due to take place. This will ensure that we have time to amend the order prior to dispatch.

Once your order is being processed, cancellation of your order is possible only in exceptional circumstances and is entirely at our discretion. Once the product has been dispatched, orders cannot be canceled anymore.

3. Deliveries

"AY Flowers" offers optional delivery service in addition to any product purchase. Kindly be advised that delivery and product are separate items, both together can define an order, one does not affect the other. We always strive to fulfill any order accurately, occasional this might not be possible for reasons out of our control; we will always try to make good, e.g. when delivering to a workplace but the person is of that day, or if a delivery is rejected by the recipient for whatever, this cannot be held against "AY Flowers" and does not entitle for any claims against us.

3.1 Delivery details

We will try to ensure that your order is delivered to the recipient's address you have provided. However, there are times when this is not possible due to problems with the address provided or due to problems couriers or drivers may encounter when attempting to deliver the order. It is therefore very important that you ensure that the address of the recipient you provide is accurate and that you give us additional instructions to assist our drivers to locate difficult-to-find addresses. We cannot be held responsible for non-deliveries in case of invalid or outdated delivery addresses provided by the client; re-deliveries in such cases are subject to an additional delivery charge.

3.2 Deliveries to offices or other commercial establishments

When delivering to offices, internal distribution stations, receptions etc we will always ask the person accepting the flowers to sign a proof of delivery. Upon receipt of this proof, the order is deemed to have been executed and "AY Flowers" cannot be held liable for any delays or damages that may occur with the product from this point onwards.

If a delivery is rejected by the recipient, the recipient is not home or not available (e.g. in a hospital), your order will be put on hold or made available for collection at one of our stores or a mail deposit site. We will then contact you, and you or the recipient have the option of either collecting the order or arrange for a re-delivery of the order, which might be subject to an additional delivery charge.

3.3 Delivery Instructions

In case the sender leaves any delivery instructions (e.g. “call recipient as doorbell not working), we will do our best to follow them and also pass this information to any service provider/courier. Once delivered and signed for, "AY Flowers" cannot be held liable for the order from this point onwards.

3.4. Deliveries and Refunds

"AY Flowers" strives for 100% customer satisfaction. We are aware that sometimes items may be damaged in transit due to no fault of ours or the customers.

In such cases, we will be offering to make the repairs ourselves or send a small repair-kit or even a replacement to a customer to resolve the issue. In most cases, these work out considerably well.

On the other hand, there may be certain orders that due to their complexity in crafting, logistics and/or their expense, a refund would not be allowed. As a result, "AY Flowers" will deny any refund requests for any orders over $250, but always offer an option to repair or replace the damaged product.

3.5 Notification period

In case an order is not received within the time as stated on the order confirmation or arrives damaged, please notify us within 7 days of such occurrence either by phone, email or in person in order for us to investigate and allow us to assist with the issue.

"AY Flowers" will always ship using the chosen delivery service. Under normal circumstances the packaging will ensure that any order will arrive in good condition; therefore, the order might be packed or wrapped with additional, non-branded protective packing.

"AY Flowers" will not take responsibility or offer a refund for reasons out of our control, e.g. the order is not collected by the courier on time, could not be delivered on time or has been damaged by the courier company during transport. In such cases "AY Flowers" will request a refund for the shipping costs from the courier company and pass this back to the sender for the shipping costs only.

As soon as the courier company collects the order at one of our outlets, we receive a tracking number for the shipment, we can provide this number to the client upon request. Please understand that from this point onwards we cannot be held liable for any change requests for delivery dates, change of address or any other change requests.
