Unfortunately, we do not currently offer a tracking service. However, if you contact our boutique on 020 7499 6889 or by email at contact@paulthomasflowers.co.uk we will be able to update you on the status of your order.

WHAT HAPPENS IF NO ONE IS HOME TO ACCEPT DELIVERY?

If there is no one in to accept delivery of your order, the driver will leave a contact card so that the recipient can call to rearrange delivery. Occasionally, the driver may leave the flowers with a neighbour or in a secure place. If you have specific instructions regarding delivery please enter these details in the ‘special instructions’ box below the delivery address fields.

HOW WILL MY ORDER BE PACKAGED FOR DELIVERY?

Our bouquets are packaged with signature Paul Thomas Flowers ribbon and wrapped in cellophane and tissue paper and then placed in glossy black bags or white delivery boxes. Layers of tissue cushion the flowers, protecting them from damage during transit.

We do not send out flowers in vases unless specifically requested. Please note that there would be an additional charge for this.

WHY DO THE FLOWERS SOMETIMES LOOK DIFFERENT TO THE IMAGES ONLINE?

We source the freshest, highest quality flowers and foliage that each season has to offer. In the event that we are unable to source a particular ingredient due to seasonal availability, we will make appropriate substitutions of equal or higher value.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY ORDER HAS BEEN DAMAGED DURING TRANSIT?

We are extremely sorry if this is the case. We take the upmost care to package our flowers for transit so that they will be safe from damage.

Please send a photograph of the damaged bouquet to our team at contact@paulthomasflowers.co.uk and we will investigate.

WHAT IF I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY ORDER AND WOULD LIKE A REFUND?

If you are not completely satisfied with the delivered product, please contact our team on 020 7499 6889 or by email at contact@paulthomasflowers.co.uk. If the fault lies with us, we will of course offer to send out a replacement or provide a full refund. Please note that we must receive a photo of the product so that we can investigate the issue fully.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY FLOWERS?

Paul Thomas flowers are sourced and arranged to order, meaning they are super fresh and the season’s best selection.

It’s important to place your flowers in water as soon as possible. To further maximise the vase life, we recommend following these simple steps:

• Carefully lift the bouquet out of the gift bag or delivery box and remove all packaging, taking care not to damage the flowers.

• Remove any leaves that would be below the waterline to keep the water as clean as possible in order to prolong the vase life.

• Re-cut all flower stems on an angle to encourage them to drink the water easily. Split woody stems with a pair of scissors or secateurs.

• Open the flower food sachet, pour the food into your chosen vase and fill with freshly-drawn, lukewarm water. Stir to dissolve the flower food if necessary.

• Place the flowers in the vase. If they have been packaged with hydrating gel, any residual gel will dissolve once the stems are placed into water.

• Position the flowers out of direct sunlight, away from drafts or heating sources and avoid particularly cold or hot positions.

• Change the water and re-cut the stems every few days to ensure the flowers remain fresh as long as possible.

WHERE DO YOU SOURCE YOUR FLOWERS?

Our team handpick fresh, seasonal blooms at the New Covent Garden Flower Market in London every day. Here we have access to the most incredible range of fresh-cut flowers, plants and foliages from all over the world, including the best that British growers have to offer.

WHAT ARE YOUR OPENING HOURS?

Our customer service line is open Monday to Friday, 08.00-17.00. If you require any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us on 020 7499 6889 or by email at contact@paulthomasflowers.co.uk.
