Important Notes

Please note we do not deliver fresh flowers to rural addresses due to their perishable nature. Rural delivery timeframes may fall outside the timeframes listed above.

While we always aim to deliver on your chosen date and timeframe, all deliveries are handled by third-party courier partners. External factors such as traffic, accidents, or vehicle issues may occasionally impact delivery times, and we are unable to guarantee exact delivery windows.

If you have any concerns regarding your delivery, please contact our team at [florists@thewildrose.co.nz](mailto:florists@thewildrose.co.nz).

Ordering & Payments

For sure. You will receive a tracking number via email or text (for same-day orders only).

You’ll be able to click the tracking link provided to view live delivery updates and status information.

If you haven’t received your tracking link, please call our team on 09 262 2509 and we can update you on its status.
We totally understand that mistakes can happen. Please call our store on 09 262 2509 as soon as possible and let us know the correct delivery address.

If your order hasn’t already been dispatched or delivered, we’ll do our best to update the address for you.
We can deliver to rural addresses, however these deliveries typically take an additional 1–3 days to arrive. Because of this, we do not recommend sending perishable items such as fresh flowers to rural locations.

If you would still like to send fresh flowers to a rural address, we can accommodate this, however we are unable to take responsibility if the flowers do not arrive as fresh as expected. Some varieties, such as lilies, travel better than others. If you're unsure, please call us on 09 262 2509 to discuss the best options for your delivery.

Unfortunately, we are unable to deliver to PO Boxes or apartments where access is limited or it is unsafe for couriers to leave items unattended.

If there is secure and easy access for a courier and detailed delivery instructions are provided, exceptions may be possible — please contact us prior to placing your order.
As we use a mix of third-party courier companies and our own delivery drivers for Nationwide Delivery and Auckland Same-Day Delivery, we are unable to 100% guarantee your delivery date. However, we always do everything we can on our end to ensure your order has the best possible chance of arriving on your selected date.

Nationwide Overnight Delivery

Your parcel is collected from our store the day prior to your selected delivery date and sent via an overnight service.

Auckland Same-Day Delivery

Your parcel is collected from our store on the same day and delivered within the selected time frame chosen at checkout.

Ordering in advance does not impact whether your order will arrive earlier, as all orders follow the same dispatch process. Sending orders too early may result in the parcel arriving before the intended date.

Over 94% of our orders arrive on the selected delivery date, so in most cases your delivery will arrive as planned.

However, delivery times can occasionally vary due to factors such as weather conditions, traffic, road closures, courier delays, or high order volumes.

In rare cases, delays may occur due to unsafe weather conditions, major road closures (such as the Auckland Harbour Bridge), or declared local or national emergencies.

If your order hasn’t arrived, please contact our team on 09 262 2509 or email florists@thewildrose.co.nz and we will investigate this with our courier partners.
If the recipient isn’t at home, a few things could happen:

The courier will leave the goods at the front or back door if there is a safe place to do so and the recipient is not home.

If the driver is unable to safely leave the package, we are usually notified and will contact you to arrange re-delivery, or the gift will be returned to us.

To help ensure a successful delivery, please provide the recipient’s phone number and any relevant delivery instructions at checkout so the driver has the best chance of completing the delivery smoothly.

Flower Care

How long flowers last depends on how well they are cared for. If the flower stems are re-cut by the recipient and placed into fresh water, with water changes every couple of days, the flowers should stay beautiful for around 5 days, and some may stay lovely for longer. Our dried flowers will stay beautiful for a lifetime if well cared for.

To get the most out of your fresh flowers, we recommend that you:

- trim your stems on an angle and re-trim every few days
- keep any foliage (leaves) out of the water
- keep the flowers in a cool, room-temperature place, as excess heat will cause them to wilt
- place them in a clean vase and continue to change the water regularly
Our dried flowers will last a life time if well cared for. To maintain their beauty keep them away from water and lightly and direct sunlight. To clean simply lightly dust the flowers, ensuring to be delicate as the flowers are very fragile.

- clean the vase if scum begins to appear
