You will need to include your order number as well as the reason for the cancellation. Please note, we cannot cancel orders or subscription requests that have already been despatched. This is due to the perishable nature of the product.

Upon receiving your cancellation request, we will confirm the cancellation via email.

1.2 CHANGES TO SUBSCRIPTION REQUESTS OR ORDERS

With reasonable notice prior to dispatch, we are able to make changes to orders. Once a subscription request or order has been dispatched, we are no longer able to amend the order. For any changes, please contact the customer service team or email the request. It is essential that you clearly include the order number or subscription package. For any other products, they can be returned within 30 days of receipt in order for a refund to be issued. All refunds will be made within 14 days of receiving the returned item(s). All refunds are processed within 3 to 4 working days.

1.3.2

All alcoholic gifts are distributed to permitted areas within the United Kingdom via a licensed third party. Contact our customer service centre for all licensing and supplier information.

2. REFUNDS

Due to the perishable nature of fresh flower deliveries, any and all complaints and refunds will be handled on a case by case basis. This does not in any way affect your statutory rights.

2.1.1

If the flowers are disposed of without any photographic evidence, any remedy will be discretionary. In order to gain an accurate representation of a bouquet, it is important that a photograph is taken within 48 hours of delivery.

2.1.2

It is the responsibility of the sender to inform the recipient of the gift item delivery. If any perishables are left in a safe place, this is at the discretion of the courier and we are not liable thereafter for the safe delivery of the goods. We always endeavour to redeliver goods if they are returned. If we are still unable to deliver to the recipient after two attempts, we are regrettably not able to offer any refunds. In this instance, any remedy is discretionary.

2.1.3

If we are unable to make contact with the recipient or customer or if the customer does not contact us, through no fault of our own, we cannot be held responsible for non-delivery. If we have exhausted all possible methods to fulfil the order, we are not able to offer a refund or replacement. Any remedy is at our discretion and this does not affect your statutory rights.

If the handling of an item goes beyond the reasonable sort of handling permitted in a shop, we are able to make a deduction refund for any diminution in value of the returned items.

2.2 VOUCHERS

Vouchers issued by Haute Florist operated by Prestige Gifting Limited will bear no monetary value and they may be subject to change.

Vouchers cannot be redeemed over the phone. Some vouchers will have an expiration date and expired vouchers may not be honoured. Vouchers can't be redeemed against subscription packages.

3. SMALL ERRORS

Should small errors in the subscription request or order occur like the wrong message card, we do not offer a full refund since the flowers were received and these flowers are the value of the order. We do believe in fairness and, to remedy this situation, we will be willing to contact the recipient in order to apologise and read out the message over the phone. Such rare errors may occur since our florists are human. We may offer a voucher as a token of our sincere apologies to the customer.

4. DELIVERIES
