Flower Orders
Order Rejections
All orders are subject to acceptance by Fable Flowers. We reserve the right where necessary to reject an order without giving reasons. In such instances, we will refund or cancel any payments received in full.Delivery Dates
We will make every effort to deliver flowers on the date selected via the website, but this cannot be guaranteed.Non-Delivery
In the unlikely event that we fail to deliver an order on the selected delivery date we will either send a replacement on our next available delivery date, or will refund the full price of the order within 3 to 5 days.Order Changes
To alter an order, please contact hello@fableflowers.co.uk. We’ll try to accommodate last-minute changes but cannot guarantee always being able to when notice has been given less than 2 calendar days prior to the order being dispatched from the studio. This includes the flower style, size, delivery address, date and gift card message. The above also applies to subscription orders.Cancellations
An order of up to £100 can be cancelled 2 calendar days prior to the delivery date and a full refund issued. For amounts greater than £100 or if notice is given with less than 2 calendar days notice, we can only give a refund if we have not already ordered the flowers. The above also applies to subscription orders.Incorrect Items
In the unlikely event that the items are delivered incomplete or incorrect, Fable Flowers should be notified within 24 hours of the delivery. We will assess next steps on a case-by-case basis.Flower Quality
Flowers sent by hand are packed with water and those sent by national delivery in a hydration gel, to reduce the risk of spillages in transit. Once the flowers are delivered, please ensure the bottom of the stems are all trimmed by a few centimetres and they are then placed directly into fresh water in a clean vase.
Our flowers are packed carefully to ensure they arrive as fresh and beautiful as when they left us, although it is possible that they may be damaged in transit. If flowers do not seem fresh or are damaged, please contact us with photos within 24 hours of receipt to hello@fableflowers.co.uk. If the flowers do not meet our own high standards, we will either replace the flowers at our next available delivery date or offer a refund.Flower Availability
All floral items are subject to availability. In the event of any supply difficulties that mean we cannot deliver an order to our high-quality standards, we reserve the right to substitute flowers with an alternate of a similar style and value. If we cannot provide a satisfactory alternative, we will refund the price of the order.Returns
Due to the perishable nature of flowers, we cannot accept returns on these products. We do not typically accept returns on non-flower items unless pre-agreed at point of sale. The customer should cover the costs associated with returning any items.Delivery Charges
Delivery fees within London are calculated by external courier companies on a case by case basis.
Our national delivery fee, shipped overnight using an external party from Tuesday to Friday, is £15.National Delivery
Our National Delivery flowers are sent using overnight delivery services, such as DPD. We will always book Next Day Delivery, however on occasion flowers will take longer than one day to arrive. This is down to the delivery service and totally out of our control, therefore we cannot accept responsibility for flowers that take a little longer to arrive. Flowers are sent nationally at the customer’s own risk.Missed Delivery
It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that someone is available at the delivery address at all times during the date of delivery.
For local deliveries, if no one is at the address when the delivery is attempted, we will leave the items with a neighbour or in a safe place. If this is not possible, the item will be brought back to our studio and we will contact you to rearrange the delivery. We reserve the right to charge for redelivery, and any damage or ageing caused due to a delayed delivery date is at the customer’s own risk.
For national deliveries, if no one is at the address when the delivery is attempted this is down to the delivery service and totally out of our control. Flowers are sent nationally at the customer’s own risk.Subscription Prices
We reserve the right to raise our prices at any time for reasons including, but not limited to, price increases from our suppliers. If we raise our prices, we will give subscribers 7 days notice and the option to cancel the subscription, or where possible change the subscription plan.
