FAQs
You don't have to be home for us to deliver, we can leave your flowers in a bucket/vessel of water that you have left at the door or in a covered, secure area as specified by you. Please remember to let us know where you would like them left.
The Flower Project is a subscription service. We do not lock you in to a minimum delivery but do recommend that you start with 3 deliveries in order for you to sample the full experience of The Flower Project. You can cancel or pause at any time, we just ask that you give us one weeks’ notice.
Our gift subscriptions come with a personalised card to let the lucky recipient know that they have been gifted a flower subscription and setting out exactly what subscription they have been gifted. If you would like to include a special message, let us know via the notes section at checkout
You choose what sort of subscription you would like to give, and we will take care of the rest. You can choose to pay as you go or pay for the subscription up front.
'Ongoing' Subscriptions
If you sign up for a subscription and choose to pay 'ongoing' (delivery by delivery) your card will be charged the Tuesday of the week of your delivery.
*Please note that when you first sign up, your card is charged immediately for the first delivery. This payment activates your subscription. You will not be charged again until 2/3 days before your second delivery is due.
'Paid Upfront Subscriptions'
When you choose to 'pay upfront' you will be prompted to choose the amount of deliveries you would like to purchase. This is especially useful if you wish to purchase a gift. Your card will be charged for all deliveries at the checkout.
One-Off Bunches
One-off bunches are paid for in full at the checkout. Vases and other add-on Floral Supplies can be added to these purchases for no additional delivery fee.
Floral Supplies
Floral Supplies are currently only available as an add-on to your subscription or one-off bouquet and cannot be purchased individually at this time.
We can deliver to your home or workplace. We deliver within Auckland. Please select your suburb when purchasing which which will indicate if we deliver to your area.
We will deliver your flowers on the market day. Currently we deliver on the Wednesday and Friday flower markets. We will be in touch with you after you subscribe to let you know which of these days your delivery day will be. The markets are not open on public holidays so if your scheduled delivery date falls on a public holiday we will deliver on the next available market day. We will endeavor to contact you in advance to remind you prior to this occurring.
If you are not home, we will leave your flowers at the location you have requested (in the delivery instructions field when you purchased the subscription). If this is a gift subscription, please let us know where you would like your flowers to be left at your earliest convenience. Our recommendation is to leave a bucket/ vessel of water out near the front door, or in a covered, secure area as specified. Alternatively, for any workplace deliveries, we will leave your arrangement with a work colleague if you are not there at the time of delivery unless otherwise arranged.
If we have not been given any delivery instructions, we will leave your flowers by your front door. If your delivery address does not have somewhere we can leave the flowers we will attempt to contact you by any means of contact you have given us i.e. text, phone call and/or email.
If we cannot contact you, and there is nowhere to leave the flowers (as in the case for apartment deliveries) we will unfortunately need to pass on an $11.50 courier fee to redeliver after hours or the following day.
Orders for same day delivery must be received before 7am to ensure this delivery will take place. Orders received after this time will be delivered the following day unless you call 021 977065 and we can discuss accommodating your request that day.
Please make a note of any specific delivery time requests at the time of placing your order and we will do our best to accommodate this.
We have a flat fee of $6.50 for delivery within Central Auckland.
For all deliveries outside Central Auckland the price of delivery will be calculated for you at checkout. The reason our delivery fees are more reasonable than other florists is because we do our deliveries in our own Flower Project vans and we schedule you in with others in a similar area where possible.
No, we do not deliver on a Public Holiday.
One thing that is very important to us is freshness - that is why we only deliver on days when there is a market - currently Fridays.

If you pause the service, you will need to include an end date for when we resume delivery.

Goodness that’s no good! Please let us know as soon as possible so we can make sure you do receive your flowers. Please call us on 021 977065 and we will work out what has happened.
Depends on the location and your preferences. Generally speaking, if there isn't a safe place to leave the bouquet, we'll get in touch with you and the recipient to work out where best to leave the bouquet. This is where good delivery notes will really help us ensure the delivery is made.
If we aren't able to get inside the building in situations of an apartment or office building, we will reach out to you to remedy the issue.
Don't worry! If you can't stand or are allergic to certain blooms, then just let us know and we will make sure they aren't included in any selections you receive. There's an option to tell us when you checkout.
No, but our vases are available as an add-on on the product page, in cart and in checkout.
