You would think that with the increased frequency of people buying things online, people would not commit as many errors when filling out the information form. But that is actually not the case for some people. It could be as simple as misspelling a street, getting the number wrong and some such; however, these are errors that could delay the drop off of our purchased goods.

 

The same is true for flower delivery, most especially the rushed, same day flowers delivery. People excitedly ordering in a bunch of flowers to be delivered right at the doorstep of their loved ones, not realizing that they have botched the information form.

It is a good thing online florists, or any online shop, are well aware of our tendency for error. But do not worry because there are ways to avoid it. Read out this checklist closely so that you would not have to give yourself and the online florists a bit of a headache during delivery.

Never forget to double check the information you have given

Writing down an address is such a simplistic task, it almost laughable to think that we can mess it up. But because it does happen, let us find ways to completely avoid it. When you are filling out the information form, make sure that you have typed in the right address of the recipient by double checking the house number, street name, and so on. If all you have written is correct, then there is no reason for delays.

Make sure to choose florists within the recipient’s area

One of the ways to make sure there will not be any is if you choose a florist that is within, or at least near, the recipient. It will be easier for the store to prepare your orders to your specifications without the worry of being there late.

Inquire about tracking codes

There are online shops that offer guests a tracking code after every purchase so that they will know the progress of their orders. Ask the florist about it so you can monitor the delivery. If they do not offer any, ask to be contacted before and after they make the drop off.

Add in additional information pertinent to the delivery

Try to provide additional information about the place the delivery guy will go to like landmarks and gate colour. Tell them if there is a construction going on somewhere so that they can plan out their route. Also, take this opportunity to add additional instructions, too, like making the delivery at a specific time of day.

Follow this simple checklist and you will never have to worry about delays on your flower delivery. So go on and execute that surprise you have been planning for your special someone, and it will surely go off without a hitch.
