Standard Overnight vs Priority?
FedEx Shipping Services
We ship all packages via FedEx Standard Overnight unless it's not available (usually
for rural area), then we will ship Priority. Standard Overnight is truly overnight for the West Coast
only, it takes two days for shipments to arrive in the rest of the US.
Upgrading shipping to Priority in suburban areas simply means the package will arrive
by noon - not one day earlier. If you wish to switch to Priority, let us know in the "Special
Instructions" section of the order process, email, or call us. Priority is an extra $15.00
charge.
How are the leis and flowers packed?
We pack all leis in specially-reinforced boxes. According to handling requirements for each lei, the leis are:
*Coolant or foam packing is used as necessary at no extra charge.
*Misted.
*Wrapped in florist's plastic sheets or wax paper, loose enough for good air-flow.
*Surrounded with shredded newspaper to provide insulation and cushioning.
*An outside layer of newspaper and decorative florist's wax paper.
*Care Instructions are always included. Gift Cards when requested on the final Order Form |
