Terms & Conditions
Daily Arrangements & Deliveries
Heath Florist strives to provide the best customer service available. It is our belief that as a real flower shop, we understand and appreciate the concerns of Internet shoppers regarding the security and proper fulfillment of their orders. We have established this return/refund policy to provide our customers with a complete understanding of how replacement orders or refunds are processed:
1. If any customer claims an order was not delivered, we ask that we are given at least 24 hours to investigate and to determine what has occurred. In many cases, delivery was attempted but either the recipient was not home/office and/or no neighbors were available to accept the order.
2. If it is determined that Heath Florist did not make the delivery attempt, it is our policy that we will provide you with a refund.
3. If an order is filled and delivered to the recipient and there is a question of the quality of the arrangement, the recipient should contact Heath Florist who made the delivery. In almost every case,Heath Florist will gladly replace the arrangement. To request a replacement, Heath Florist must be contacted within 24 hours of the delivery. Bear in mind that flowers and plants are perishable. Proper care is required. It is the responsibility of the recipient to follow any care instructions provided by Heath Florist. No refunds or replacements will be made for any order should the recipient or sender not notify Heath Florist within 24 hours of the original delivery date.
4. Heath Floristreserves the right to reject any order provided to us that we deem questionable or possibly fraudulent. When Petals & Leaves Florist receives an order, we review the entire order and periodically compare the information provided to us with the bank of the person placing the order. If we determine that fraudulent information is provided we will send an email or phone call to the sender to inform them of the situation to determine if the information was provided in error.
5. Should any customer place an order through Heath Florist and then need to cancel the order, the cancellation must be made prior to the delivery of the order (subjected to 15% cancellation fee). If the cancellation is received after the order is delivered, no refund can be issued. Cancellations will not be accepted if a customer places an order but provides information that prevents direct delivery, such as in the case of a wrong office or home address. The customer can obtain new information so that the order can then be properly delivered using correct information. If new address is outside of the delivery range and Heath Florist cannot deliver it, only 50% of the order can be refunded.
6. “Substitutions Allowed” – Heath Florist will always attempt to fulfill an order as closely as possible. However if the container, flowers, plants or other items that comprise the order are unavailable, the order will be substituted with content equal to the original value of the order.
7. Heath Florist is not responsible for any order where the recipient refuses to accept the item. Heath Florist will not issue refunds to any customer where the recipient, for whatever reason, will not accept the item or refuses delivery.
8. If the customer has picked up the floral arrangement or plant, and has seen the quality of the flowers, it is the responsibility of the customer to then care for the flowers once it has left the store. No refunds will be given if any question of the quality of the arrangement is not given within 24 hours.
9. When a customer allows substitutions, this means that the sender is allowing Heath Florist to use flowers or flowers they have on-hand to work with while trying to keep the arrangement as similar as possible. This may mean that the recipient does not necessarily receive an arrangement identical to what is pictured though every effort is made to do so. In cases of specialty items, such as items in a ceramic container, a different container with similar value will be used.
10. Incorrect Address/Re-Delivery Changes to address information or incorrect addresses after the order has been placed resulting in a re-delivery will be subject to a $10.00 charge.
Weddings & Events
Each bride is entitled to one quote revision before booking with us (any additional revisions prior to booking is $25 per revision), however the Bride can make as many revisions as they would like after booking but before the final appointment.
We offer 3 levels of service. The first option is full service. This service allows us to set up ceremony & reception, move items from ceremony to reception and take down both ceremony and reception. This service comes with a fee of 18-25% depending on the size, distance traveled and details of the wedding. If your wedding involves wedding party flowers as well as small centerpieces such as lower arrangements but does not include submerged or floating flowers. We offer a drop off only option, this will include an employee of Heath Florist to bring the items to the venue and drop them off. It would be up to you to have a family member, planner, or venue coordinator place all of the items. Any rental items such as glassware, containers and such will need to be returned by the Tuesday of the following week. Any broken or misplaced items will be the responsibility of the contract holder. The drop off only option is a $75.00 fee. If you are only looking to acquire bouquets and wearables for your wedding party, a pick up option is available. We pack it up for easy pick up to be placed on a flat surface for transport. Any rental items such as glassware, containers and such will need to be returned by the Tuesday of the following week. Any broken or misplaced items will be the responsibility of the contract holder. A pick up option is always free.

Client hereby agrees to permit Florist to use Florist’s best judgment in making any substitutions, should the need arise. Client agrees that all items needed for event, including floral and décor items will be finalized at least 30 days prior to event. At the time of finalization, the final copy of the invoice will be prepared and payment in full is due for all items as outlined in the invoice.

Unless specifically stated otherwise in Florist’s written proposal, all props, vases, containers, and other materials with the exception of fresh cut flowers and greens remain the property of Florist and must be returned to Florist at the end of the event or unless client requested a non-full service event. Client understands and agrees to pay the retail replacement price for any and all items that are not returned to Florist within 72 hours of the event, regardless of the reason.
