A full refund will be given if payment has been made but we regrettably are unable to process the order due to circumstances beyond our control.

3.6 Orders for same day delivery (Monday – Friday only) need to be placed before 2pm GMT to guarantee the order being delivered.  For orders received later than 2pm requesting same day delivery, we will do our best to process the request but hold no responsibility if the order is not delivered on the same day.  If an order is received late, the next available delivery date will be given.

In such cases, the signature of a person authorised to receive deliveries for the building shall be accepted as proof of delivery and fulfilment of the order. We recommend that flowers sent to these locations be requested for delivery Monday to Friday. Deliveries cannot be made to PO Box addresses.

7.5  Where possible, we will attempt to obtain a signature from the intended recipient or equally a person responsible to accept the goods at the delivery address on their behalf. In the case of a private residence, the signature of a family member or housekeeper will be accepted.

Under normal circumstances we will try to ensure that your order is delivered to the recipient’s address you provide. However, there are times when this is not possible due to problems with the address information or difficulties our drivers encounter when trying to deliver. To avoid such problems please:

1. Ensure that the recipient address provided is accurate and that the recipient is not away.
2. Give additional instructions to assist our drivers with difficult to find addresses.
3. Keep us informed if you find that the recipient’s address or availability changes prior to the order being delivered.
4. Supply a contact number for the recipient so that if our driver experiences problems with delivery they can contact them directly.

7.6   Should the recipient be out at the time of delivery, a card will be left stating attempted delivery was made and the contact details of Kensingtonflowers are given. Normally the flowers are returned to the shop and the recipient will then have to contact us to arrange for re-delivery. We also try to phone the recipient if their telephone number is available.

7.7  Where possible we try to leave the flowers in a safe area or with a neighbour/porter/reception, especially if instructions were given for the flowers to be left in a ‘leave safe’ option. A calling card will be left with instructions for the recipient to either contact Kensington Flowers to either arrange redelivery or with details of where the flowers have been left. The recipient will also be able to collect the flowers from our shop if more convenient.

7.8   If, following a second delivery attempt, we are still unable to deliver, through no fault of our own, we are regrettably unable to offer a refund or complimentary re-delivery.

Refund Policy/Service Guarantee

8.1   We hope you and the recipient will be delighted with the flowers/plants or any product received from Kensingtonflowers. However if you are not happy, please contact us immediately on tel. 020 7225 3176. Because of their perishable nature, flowers may only be returned/replaced/refunded if the complaint is made within 24 hours of receipt. This does not affect your statutory rights.

The management will review the comments you have and should the cause be related to circumstances that are within our control, we will consider either of the following; issuing a full refund, a replacement and redelivery of your chosen product.

8.2   If the flowers we deliver are not what you ordered or are damaged or defective, or the delivery is of an incorrect quantity, we shall have no liability to you unless you notify us of the problem within 24 hours of the delivery of the products in question.  The original product must be returned to us in the same condition as when they arrived with the original packaging intact. The goods must be unused and unmarked. If the flowers cannot be easily returned to Kensington Flowers, photographic proof of the flowers/product received must be given/sent to us to.  This does not affect your statutory rights. Failure to do so will prevent us from processing any refunds or exchanges. If the product ordered was damaged on receipt or of an incorrect quantity, we will offer a full replacement and redelivery of the product at the next convenient date for your recipient. In London areas we will arrange a collection of the original product sent.*
