Why Offering Same-Day Delivery is So Important to Us

Back in 2020, and again in 2023, Blue Florist won the accolade of Best Same Day Flower Delivery service in the SME Business Elite Awards. It was a source of a huge amount of pride for us, because it’s something that we worked really hard to achieve. We may be just a little flower shop in Kingston-upon-Thames, but we strive to serve customers all across the country. And offering same-day delivery is an important part of that. It’s all about going the extra mile and doing what we can to make our customers’ lives easier. But why?

Why We Offer a Same-Day Flower Delivery Service

Life happens

Sometimes life just doesn’t give us time to plan. We know, because we’ve been there. We won’t admit to a forgotten anniversary or a birthday we’ve under-prepared for (but shhhh, anyway, just in case!). But there have been promotions, early babies, and just occasionally, the need to cheer someone up in the only way we know how. And when that happens, next-day delivery simply isn’t soon enough. We work in a florists. We can do what we need to do at the shortest of notice most of the time. But our customers can’t. So, that’s the first reason why same-day delivery was the top of our must-have list when we decided that floristry was for us.

Freshness first

Of course, a poor memory and surprise events aren’t the only reasons for ordering same-day flowers. In fact, one of the biggest advantages of same-day flower delivery is freshness. We always try to create arrangements on the day they’re ordered. But for same-day deliveries, your flowers will always be the freshest of the fresh, because there’s no risk of transit delays. Which means that they will look vibrant and last longer.

Supporting our local community

Although we offer a nationwide same-day delivery service, community spirit also drives us to want to provide the best possible service for our local customers. Whether it’s our lovely loyal regulars who visit our Kingston flower shop every week or month, or ad hoc shoppers, we want to be there for our customers when it matters most. We might have a website, but we try our best not to be just another faceless online business. So, we take pride in offering a personal touch. Same-day delivery is part of that.

How same-day flower delivery works

Ordering flowers for same day delivery is really simple. Just select an arrangement from the “Same Day Flowers” page of our website, and place your order before 3pm. Then we’ll do the rest. We guarantee that your beautiful arrangement of hand-tied flowers will be delivered before 6pm.

However, we should just mention that this service is only available Monday to Saturday, because we all need a day off sometime!

So, next time you need a romantic rose bouquet for tonight or a cheerful bunch of sunflowers “just because,” remember the Blue Florist team is ready to help. Our talented florists can work quickly without ever compromising on quality, treating each same-day order as the special delivery that it is.
