Where as most florists will add a hefty delivery charge to the price of a bouquet of flowers whether you order you flowers online or over the phone. There is one popular UK florist that will deliver for free!

If money (saving it that is) is your top priority when sending flowers online within the uk you may want to forget using a ‘florist’ and just check out the ‘flowers by post’ stores. If you are looking for cheap flower delivery ordering flowers online from a flower by post retailer will save you around 50% compared to the equivalent florist flowers.

What’s the difference?

When you order your flowers from a florist they will spend some time conditioning the flowers and arranging them to produce a very professional looking bouquet. The bouquet will be delivered to your desired destination on the day you specify by their courier

When you order from a ‘flowers by post’ retailer the bouquet is assembled and shipped directly from the flower growers by good old fashioned post. The bouquet may look quite as impressive as it does when arranged buy a professional florist, the flowers themselves however will be very fresh when they are shipped. When you order flowers by post they cannot guarantee a delivery date due to them being delivered by the royal mail but you do save a lot of money.

Flying Flowers

flying flowers £9.99 Flying Flowers, probably the UKs premier flowers by post store have bouquets for under £10 with free delivery! Where as at Interflora they start at around £25 + £6 delivery. You get far more flowers per £ and if you are happy with the lack of a guaranteed delivery date (you can always have them delivered a day or two early – they can guarantee that). And happy that the bouquet is not arranged buy a trained florist they are a great option for those strapped for cash looking for cheap flower delivery.

I just noticed that Flying Flowers have introduced a courier delivery option on there flowers by post range for an extra £3.50.
