If you’re wondering how to place an order, simply get in touch, and we’ll have a chat about your requirements. Or if you fancy the long run-down, for the sake of transparency, here it is in exhaustive detail . . .

THE ORDERING PROCESS

Orders and inquiries are taken over the phone, by email (directly and via the website’s contact form), through Facebook and Instagram Messengers, and occasionally in person.

The order is ‘booked in’ in our diary – we jot down the client and recipient names, delivery location, and what has been ordered.

When the correspondence has covered all the necessities, details of the order are transferred into an invoice or, if payment has been made swiftly, a receipt. This document will feature the order and delivery dates, the client’s name and sometimes their email address, the recipient’s name/s and address, our contact details, the service and price of the item/s ordered and delivery charge, a message to go on the card (optional), and our bank account for payment, or clarification of the alternative payment arrangement, or acknowledgement that payment has been made. This document will be messaged, emailed or physically presented to the client. We will usually confirm when payment has been received.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order, or limit payment options. Your order may not be delivered if your invoice has not been paid in advance, so any difficulty in paying should be communicated to avoid disappointment… unless we have made other arrangements, or are on such fine friendly terms that neither we or you are much concerned about a late payment.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Bank Transfer – our preferred method as it avoids transaction fees – account details will be on your invoice.

Cash – in advance, on delivery, or upon collection.

Cheque – by special arrangement.

Debit/Credit Cards & NFC Mobile Payments – Visa, V. PAY, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, Union Pay, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. Using a SumUp card reader, we can take chip & PIN or contactless payments in person. We will not ask you to read out your plastic numbers over the phone, and you must certainly not email these to us – if you do, we will permanently delete them.

Payment Link – sent by text or email for you to securely type in your bank card details.

DATA RETENTION

Once the invoice has been paid and the order has been fulfilled, the invoice is archived, correspondence emails are housed in a folder in our AOL email account, and Facebook messages to the business account are marked as Done. These invoices, correspondences and notes remain accessible only to the business owners (Danielle and Jake Wyatt), behind locked doors and passworded accounts, and are stored for the purposes of cross-referencing for future orders, and for compiling sales and tax accounts.

Moreover, until we have opportunity or reason to audit or condense our archive, it is a matter of time that prevents us from stripping out anything that may be considered obsolete or sensitive. We promise to get rid of anything that we would consider sensitive and would not want kept ourselves. We do not need to keep entire records of orders, and if you would like us to partially redact or entirely eradicate particular aspects of our records or correspondences stored online or in our invoices or notes, for the sake of your privacy or simple peace-of-mind closure, please get in touch.

You have the right to find out whether we hold any information about you (relating to correspondence or inquiries, orders you have placed, or gifts you have received), and to have access to this information. If anyone asks to have a copy of data we hold on them, or to have it deleted, we will comply within a month, and we will not charge for administering such a request.

We are not collecting anyone’s contact details for the purpose of direct marketing, and we do not pass on or sell any such data to anyone. We’re just here to sell flowers and bring about comfort and happiness.
