REFUND AND CANCELLATION
We have a 14 day return policy on all non-perishable items such as vases, unopened champagne boxes and soft toys. However due to the perishable nature of the flowers we will only accept returns and issue refunds if the following is true; Flower Station has made a mistake with your order or the flowers were severely damaged on delivery. Please read the following policy statement which applies to these cases.
On the rare off-chance we have made a mistake with your order please notify us within a maximum of 2 days from your delivery along with pictures depicting the issue and showing the bouquet as a whole. Please forward to info@flowerstation.co.uk
Once our team verifies the issue, we will organise a replacement instantly and cover the costs ourselves.
As for flower condition, although we say as a rule of thumb that between 4-5 days is a good time frame for flower freshness, this can vary. There are many factors when it comes to the lifespan of a flower such as it's verity, room temperature where it is kept, how often the stems are re-cut and water is changed. We must advise that any bouquets that are delivered in "water bubbles" must be removed instantly and placed into a vase with water.
Once the flowers leave our florist, we have no control over these factors. However if you experience flowers wilting before this 4-5 day period, please send us a photo and we will review them on a case by case basis.
If we believe that the flowers don't meet our high standards then again, we will replace them free of charge.
At our discretion, any replacement or refund will be proportionate to the problems that have occurred.

The following care procedures must be followed before any complaint is considered: Fill a clean vase with fresh water and the correct amount of flower food. Cut stem ends at an angle with a sharp knife. Remove all leaves which will be below water level. Check the water level daily; replace with fresh water and flower food if necessary.
