Before, if you had a loved one living across the globe you would have to settle for writing letters, which took a while to get there. The most convenient option would be to make long distance phone calls but these were quite expensive. All this is in the past though with the strides communication technology has taken. Not only can you chat with someone halfway across the globe for practically free, but you can also hold video calls, which are also much cheaper than long distance phone calls used to cost. All these new forms of keeping in touch are fine and dandy but they are not fully personalised. If you would like to make an impression on a loved one, you should also opt to send flowers to them no matter what part of the world they are in. Flowers can be used for almost any occasion under the sun. Here are some considerations when you opt for international flower delivery for those special occasions.

Reliability of flower delivery

In past years, most people would be wary of sending goods internationally because there was a high probability of them getting lost and you not getting your money back. Those days are long gone now. Florists that offer international flower delivery could provide you with a tracking number to keep tabs on the journey of your floral arrangement from when it is ordered to right when it is delivered. In addition to this, if you are  sending flowers to a recipient in a different country, the flower delivery service provider could choose to liaise with a local florist, thus not having to even send flowers from their own shop but instead buy straight from the florist in that location.

Assurance of quality from the florist

The biggest advantage of opting for a reputable company when it comes to international flower delivery is that you will get quality flowers delivered to your loved one. If the flowers are compromised in any way, such as them not being fresh or perhaps they may not be in good condition, the flowers should be replaced immediately. If the recipient of your flowers is not available at the time of their delivery, the dispatcher will probably leave a message stating he was there and that the recipient should set a date for a re-delivery.

Flower delivery schedule

Lastly, you should take note that delivery schedules may vary internationally. In addition to this, any upcoming public holidays could also cause delays with your flower delivery. Ensure that you have discussed the delivery period with your chosen florist to ensure that you have the correct dates in mind.
