How to Package & Mail your Flowers and Materials

Step by Step Process

Step 1: Place your order online. Each item in the description will tell you how many flowers are required. We do not return any flowers, only send what we need (watch video on how to package your flowers)

Step 2: Place your flowers in a SMALL box and surround them or layer them with paper towels. NO NEWSPAPER, WET PACKS or PLASTICS. Plastic in the box will cause your flowers to mold and we will not be able to use them. Please do not wrap flowers in wet paper towels. Keep all packing materials dry.
In the warmer months please ship next day, in the cooler months 2-3 day is fine. We are closed on Saturdays & Sundays and will not receive flowers until the following Monday. Before shipping, keep flowers in a cool dry place. Recut stems and keep in fresh water until shipped. We cannot use succulents. Please include this Mailing Enclosure Form.  If you are unable to print the form, just include your name, phone number and order number on a piece of paper. 

Mail to: Flowers Forever 4482 Fort Jackson Blvd, Columbia, SC 29209.

Step 3: Our average turnaround time is 10-12 weeks from the time we receive your flowers/other materials. We will send you a tentative completion date to your email as soon as we receive your flowers/materials. The tentative completion date is approximate.
