Saturday deliveries:  A $15 FedEx surcharge will be applied for Saturday deliveries.

Sunday and Monday deliveries are not available.

Holidays: During holiday periods, it may be necessary to make delivery the day BEFORE or AFTER the requested date. Please specify in the comments if you want us to cancel the order in the event that delivery is not possible on the requested date.

FedEx employees take certain holidays off including Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day. Therefore there is no delivery for the holiday itself or the day after the holiday.

Mother's Day is the busiest floral holiday of the year.  As there are often shipping delays, we recommend scheduling your orders for delivery no later than the Wednesday two weeks before Mother's Day. 

Service Delays:  Occasionally FedEx will issue a "Service Delay Announcement" indicating a shipment delays due to adverse weather or other  conditions.  BloomsOfHawaii will not issue refunds during FedEx Service Delays.  All FedEx Service Delays are posted on the FedEx website: www.FedEx.com.

Shipments to California, Arizona and Florida may be delayed due to Department of Agriculture inspections. We do not offer any compensation for deliveries delayed by government inspections. Please schedule time-critical orders to arrive one day sooner.

What addresses can you deliver to?

A complete street address and valid phone number are required for shipping. Partial or incorrect addresses may result in additional charges. FedEx cannot deliver to PO Boxes or to APO/FPO addresses.

The FedEx driver will not drop off a package without a signature unless you  authorize a "no signature required" delivery.   Please note that you would like your package sent "no signature" in the special instructions for your order (on the billing information page during checkout).

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
