Deliveries
Ethereal Blooms offers optional delivery service in addition to any product purchase. Please be advised that delivery and product are separate items, both together can define an order, one does not affect the other.

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 We cannot be held responsible for non-deliveries in case of invalid or outdated delivery addresses provided by the client; re-deliveries in such cases are subject to an additional delivery charge.
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 or if the courier in carrying out a contactless delivery they will provide photographic evidence of delivery. Upon receipt of this proof, the order is deemed to have been executed and Ethereal Blooms 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, your order will be put on hold or made available for collection at our studio. 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.
Delivery Instructions
In case the sender leaves any delivery instructions (e.g. “call recipient as door bell not functioning), we will do our best to follow them and also pass this information to any service provider/courier. Once delivered and signed for, Ethereal Blooms cannot be held liable for the order from this point onwards.
Deliveries and Refunds
Ethereal Blooms 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 offer to make the repairs ourselves.
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.
External Courier deliveries
Ethereal Blooms 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.
If there is any damage which is incurred on delivery by the courier service, we will replace any damaged items as requested by the client. We will require photographic/ video evidence, and it may be likely that we will have to collect the arrangement to repair and replace damaged areas.
In addition, the following applies to Online Orders:
The confirmation email that is sent on completion of your order contains all the key information about your order. It is very important that you check this to ensure no errors have been made.
Ethereal Blooms does not provide refunds on Online Orders:
- for delayed/early deliver of product, depending on the service option chose by the client, we will raise a refund request with the courier company on behalf of the client and if successful refund the client for such charges within 4 weeks.
- for damaged product (e.g. broken buds, damaged rose petals or any other damages), we reserve the right to request photographic proof of such damage to help us assess the best means to cure; upon receipt of such claim incl. evidence, we will then propose to the client within latest 2 business days the best way to cure such fault. In case of structural damage to the product, e.g. physical damage to the outer packaging, resulting in damages to vases, materials or structural damage to the shape or profile of an arrangement, we would arrange for collection of the damaged product from the recipients address and upon receipt produce and send out free of charge a similar product. We kindly ask the recipient in such cases to re-package the damaged product to her/his best knowledge prior confirming collection.
- In case a delay or damage to the product causes its initial purpose to pass, e.g. when the product has been ordered for a special occasion/date, we are happy to offer a store credit including all associated charges for product, delivery and postage for returning the item. Please understand that inthis case the item can only be accepted if returned unopened and in its original packaging.
Deliveries on weekends and public holidays
