3. Delivery

Addresses
We do everything we can to ensure that your order is delivered to the recipient’s address that you provide. However, there are times when either the address information that we receive from our customers or in the event of our drivers encounters problems on attempting delivery when this is not possible.

It is very important that you ensure accurate recipient address information, in particular the postcode. Deliveries cannot be made to PO Box addresses nor to FREEPOST addresses.

The confirmation email that is sent on completion of the placing an order contains all the key information relating to your order.  It is important that you check this to ensure the information is correct.  If an incorrect address is given and the gift is despatched before any errors are highlighted, then automatic entitlement for a resent fresh bouquet is not guaranteed. 

If you are unsure of the correct delivery address, we recommend using one of the following address lookup websites:

http://www.royalmail.co.uk or http://www.gov.im/post/postal/fr_main.asp

We also provide a free lookup facility during our ordering process.

Our delivery service covers the Isle of Man. If you require delivery to the United Kingdom, the  please visit our sister brand Post-a-Rose.com.

Next working day delivery is provided free of charge on all orders placed before 3pm the previous day and 11am Saturday for a delivery on a Monday.

Deliveries to hospitals
Deliveries to a hospital ward can sometimes be problematic because patients often move ward, or are discharged.  However, many of these problems can be avoided by ensuring that we have accurate and up-to-date information about the ward that the recipient is in.

It is very important that you provide the recipient’s full name as there can be several patients with the same name in the same hospital. 

Some wards do not accept flowers, so you should check that the ward to which you wish to send flowers allows patients to have flowers on the ward.  If flowers are not accepted in the ward, we shall not be able to refund the cost of the bouquet.

Deliveries for sympathy and to funeral directors
If flowers are going to a funeral, we recommend that they be delivered the day before the funeral to ensure they get to the funeral in good time.  Also, if flowers are going to a funeral directors', it is essential that the name of the deceased and the funeral director are both included.  If they are not, the funeral director may not accept the flowers.  If flowers are not accepted, we will not be able to refund the cost of the bouquet.

Failure to deliver
If we are unable to deliver your order to the recipient's address, we will attempt to leave in a secure location on the recipient's property or with a neighbour.  If this is not acceptable, please ensure that you tell us when you place your order. If we are unable to deliver the order, we will attempt to contact you as soon as we know.  It is also very helpful if you provide us with the telephone number of the recipient as this often makes it easier to resolve delivery problems when the recipient is not at home at the time of delivery. It is not always possible for us to alert either the recipient or the customer by telephone of our failure to deliver.

In the event that we are unable to deliver the order to a recipient's address that you have provided, we will attempt delivery either that same day or the following day.   At our discretion, we may refund the delivery charge associated with the failed delivery.  We are not responsible for any other costs incurred by the customer due to failed deliveries.

For deliveries made by our distribution partner, Isle of Man Post, their policy is to leave a card if no one is in.  They may attempt redelivery later in the day but do not guarantee that they will.  If they do not attempt redelivery on the same day, they will attempt redelivery the next day. 

Signatures are not required on delivery for Robinson’s flowers.

Timing of deliveries
We undertake to deliver between 9am and 5pm.  However if we miss this delivery time but still deliver the flowers, we will not make a full refund.  Similar to clause 6 below, we will discuss with the customer what a reasonable discount might be in the given situation.  By buying flowers from Robinson’s Ltd you are not entering into a contract that guarantees delivery between the times cited above or a full refund.

During extremely busy periods, such as Christmas, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, we reserve the right to extend our delivery window to 8am to 6pm in order to guarantee that all orders will be delivered on the day requested.

Force Majeure
Neither we, nor any delivery service that we use shall be liable for any failure to perform, where such failure or delay results from any circumstances outside our reasonable control.

 

4. Availability and substitution

Flowers
In the unlikely event of any unavailability of specific flowers or colours, we will undertake to fulfil your order with the closest matching alternative of at least the same value. If this action is necessary and when time allows, we will try to contact you via email.  If you wish to discuss the substitution we have made, please contact our customer services team on via our contact page.

If we are unable to contact you via the contact methods provided prior to the time that we make up your order, we will assume that you accept our decision regarding substitution.

Non floral products
Very occasionally, we can be out of stock on a product that is still live on the website, though typically all the products on our site are in stock.  If we are out of stock of one of our products and you try to purchase it, we will try to contact you to discuss either removing the product from your basket and refund you the cost, or substituting another product in the out of stock product's place.  If we are unable to contact you, we reserve the right to make the decision on your behalf (remove or substitute).

On occasion, certain products are offered with a free item as part of a promotion. These items are subject to availability and so, should an occasion arise when they are omitted from an order, we reserve the right to offer an alternative at our discretion.

Our Guarantee
We do have stringent quality control procedures in place to ensure that our flowers arrive and remain in first class condition for as long as possible and we offer a 7 day guarantee on all our cut flower products. However, if on very rare occasions, flowers arrive at their destination damaged or fail to arrive due to an unforeseen delivery issue, please contact us immediately so that we can either arrange to re-send a replacement product on the next available delivery date or a full or partial refund, depending on the specific circumstances of the issue.

We will not offer both a refund and a resend.  Where flowers have been damaged we will normally ask for photographs clearly showing the problem so we can use them to determine any issues with our system. It is important that we are contacted as soon as possible regarding issues. In the event that a small item, such as a balloon or vase, should arrive damaged or be missing, we shall be unable to resend that item but would be happy to refund its value.

It is important to note that this guarantee does not confer the right to an automatic 100% refund, but only to a fair resolution.

Vase life of flowers
All our flowers are incredibly fresh, as they are purchased daily either directly from growers or off the flower auctions in Holland and then transported direct to us and stored in ideal conditions in our flower fridges.  We guarantee our flowers will last at least five days and most probably even longer, although this can vary by variety.  It is important that the flowers are cared for correctly as putting them by heat sources or draughts can severally effect the vase life.  Therefore, we include instructions and flower food with all our flowers.

7. Duplicate orders

If we notice that two identical bouquets have been ordered, we may remove one, refunding the cost, if we believe it to have been ordered in error.  In such circumstances we will attempt to contact the customer but if it is urgent and they cannot be reached, we may make the decision ourselves.
