How does international flower delivery work?

It’s really simple to send flowers overseas with us.

1. Head to the international delivery page
2. Choose the country your special someone is in
3. Choose a beautiful bouquet
4. Choose a delivery date
5. Tap order now and fill in all the important bits.

And that’s all you need to do! We’ll then get in touch with your chosen country’s local flower expert, who will create a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers to be delivered straight to your friends or family.

When sending flowers abroad you need to check a few things; the price of the bouquet, the price of extras (greetings cards etc) and delivery charges.

We keep charges down for our customers by making sure we offer a great selection of flowers at a reasonable price, free gift messages on an attractive card and a standard £12 international delivery charge - including next day delivery.

Plus, if you know you’re going to be sending more than one bunch of flowers over the next year you can save even more by signing up for an Interflora delivery pass where you can get unlimited delivery for a whole year.
