Flower Delivery Through Elsternwick

Glen Huntly Road, Orrong Road, Riddell Parade and the streets stretching back towards Elwood are all on our regular Elsternwick route. An order placed in the morning is arranged at Southbank and delivered that afternoon, without sitting anywhere in between.

Elsternwick is a suburb of standing orders for us. The same families and the same businesses come back through the year, which tells us more about the work than anything we could write here. Much of it goes to houses, some to the shops and offices along the main road, and a steady share to the synagogues and community organisations nearby.

What Elsternwick Comes Back For

First Pick at the Market

Our buyers have stood at the Melbourne market since July 2007. Being easy to deal with and good for the money is why the growers show them the best of a run first, often before it ever reaches the floor. The same standing lets them turn things down, which they do most mornings.

Two Days From Market to Bench

Nothing comes into the Southbank studio unchecked. Boxes are opened, stems are inspected, and anything short of the mark goes back rather than into a bucket. What we keep is conditioned in fresh water so it is closer to ready, and it is usually designed within a day. Your Elsternwick arrangement gets looked over twice more, once while it is being designed and once before it leaves.

Couriers Who Know the Drill

Your flowers travel to Elsternwick upright, in water, in a bag we had made for the job. The vessel sits in the base and is held the way a takeaway tray holds a coffee cup, so there is no wet pack and nothing to spill. Leave it in the bag if you like. That is what it is for, and it is why it works so well on a ward or a busy front desk. Refresh the water daily. If anything is wrong, we replace it or refund it.

Elsternwick Occasions

Elsternwick orders cover birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, thank yous and sympathy in roughly equal measure, with a steady run of flowers for holidays and family occasions through the year. What it is for decides the design, worked from roses, hydrangeas, peonies and the best of what came back that morning.

Good to Know About Elsternwick Delivery

Do you deliver to Elsternwick on the same day?

Yes, on orders in before 1pm, Monday to Saturday. Past the 1pm cut off and it goes out on the next delivery day instead.

How is delivery to Elsternwick charged?

It is worked out at checkout from the address entered, so the exact cost is in front of you before the order is confirmed.

Can flowers be left if the house is empty?

They can. The water vessel built into our signature bag keeps them fresh in a shaded spot or at a neighbour's door, and we message you to say where they were left.

Will you deliver to a shop or office on Glen Huntly Road?

Yes. Put the business name and a contact number on the order. The flowers can be left with whoever is at the counter, and because the bag holds water they will keep until the right person has them.

What flowers are you working with?

The best of that morning. Buying is finished before dawn on the market floor, so the range turns over with the season rather than staying the same. Lisianthus, roses, chrysanthemums and hydrangeas show up through most of the year, along with plants, wine and gifts.
