Hand Delivered Flowers Vs Gift Boxes

There is a lot of confusion which happens when people order flowers online. They find it hard whether to choose hand delivered flowers or flowers delivered in gift boxes. Also, many people don't even know that there are flowers shipped in gift boxes. Many reputable companies offer both options so you don't get stuck with one of them. The most important thing is to choose whether you want your flowers or roses to be delivered by hand from a local florist or flowers by mail shipped by UPS or FedEx in a gift box. If you want to know the best way you want your flowers to be delivered by then continue reading:

1- Hand delivered flowers:

In this case the florist is the one who arranges and designs your arrangements by hand. After that he will offer you hand-delivered flowers to the recipient you want to send your flowers to. If you are dealing with a reputable florist then your flowers will arrive as you wished them by the time you have specified. Many people prefer this method because it offers them the luxury of rapid delivery especially if they want same day delivery, as carriers like FedEx take some time to ship boxes. Because this option requires a man (or women) to deliver your flowers, it will cost you some extra money (no big deal).

2- Gift boxes flower delivery:

Many people think that this option is not a good one as they have the image of their arrangements not arriving fresh as they wanted them to. This is so untrue because this option has some advantages that the other one simply doesn't. Among these pluses we have:

· As these flowers are shipped from grower's field, you'll be able to arrange them if you want. If you want them already arranged then some companies offer this option.

· These flowers last longer then the flowers of local florists (very logical as they are shipped from the grower's fields).

· Receive them in almost any location FedEx sends to.

· Surprise your recipient by using this option so they can arrange the flowers themselves.

· If the recipient is not home, the gift box will be left in front of the door.

· The great thing about this option is that it usually costs less than hand delivery.

There are probably some people who think that their flowers will be ruined in a gift box, well they are simply wrong. Most reputable flower delivery companies maintain their gift box flowers in what's called "cold chain". This means that the flowers will be shipped in climate- controlled conditions so they arrive fresh as they picked them from the field.

So when sending or receiving your flowers by mail, make sure you select one of these options which you feel suits your requirements and needs.
