Every Internet order you place
with us will be charged a sales tax of 5%, applied to the amount
of the order. This tax rate is based upon the rate our shop is
charged, regardless of the destination of your order.
Occasionally, substitutions may
be necessary to create your bouquet due to the availability of
certain flowers in various parts of the country. Care is taken
to maintain the style, theme and color scheme of the arrangement,
using flowers of equal value. Additionally, the substitution of
certain keepsake items may be necessary due to increased demand,
especially during major holidays. In single-flower arrangements,
such as an all rose bouquet, or orchids, we will make every attempt
to match the flower type, but may substitute with another color.
This privacy statement has been
created in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting
customer privacy.
