Damaged Flowers

Although we work with our delivery partners and our courier company to do our best to ensure your flowers arrive in perfect condition, on very rare occasions, flowers arrive at their destination damaged as a result of transportation. In this unlikely event that the goods are found to be damaged or faulty during the delivery process, we will investigate the issue and take appropriate action, which may include offering an exchange. If your order is eligible for exchange, we will arrange re-delivery to be made in the next available time slot.

Orchidya may reserve the right to review any instance of damage on a case by case basis, however once the flowers have been accepted by the client any subsequent damage is the responsibility of the client. Because of their perishable nature, flowers are non-returnable. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Personal Messages


You must agree that any messages posted by you on your card or sent by us on your behalf to a third party will not contain anything which could be construed as harassing, threatening, vulgar, abusive, obscene, defamatory, racist or which may cause embarrassment or distress to any person or are otherwise unlawful or objectionable.

You are entirely responsible for any text or other material which you post or send on this message system and Orchidya accepts no liability for any such content. We do not pre-screen messages, but may monitor content from time to time. We have the right to refuse to send or display messages and terminate access to the relevant services at any time and without liability to you in the event of any such offensive message.



Special Offers

At our discretion from time to time, we may offer products at discounted prices. These offers are valid from the time that we introduce them to the end date of the offer and they cannot be used for purchases before the offer introduction date or after the offer end date.

In the event that a customer has made a purchase and the price of a product falls or is discounted due to a special offer, the price of the product at the time of purchase shall ‘prevail’. We are unable to offer special offer discounts for purchases that have already been made.

As our special offers are often presented due to the availability of products, we may change the terms of special offers, or withdraw them altogether, at any time and without prior notice.

We also reserve the right to offer different personalised special offers and promotions and it will therefore only be possible for the customer in receipt of the special offer to redeem the discount.

If you cancel your order at least 72 hours before the delivery date, you will receive a full refund. However, if you cancel your order less than 72 hours before the delivery date, when the florists have already ordered the materials for your order or already started making it, the cancellation will not be eligible for a refund.

Customers can cancel orders by contacting Orchidya. On a case by case basis, we reserve the right to agree to cancel any order and will inform you once this has been done. You will not be charged for any orders which have been cancelled in accordance with this clause. Payment made prior to cancellation will be reimbursed using the same method used to pay.

Exchanges


Orchidya sources only premium quality plants, orchids, and flowers from reputable and trusted suppliers. As we are unable to control the environment into which any perishable goods may be placed once delivered, exchanges or refunds are not available.

We strive to deliver the highest quality flower bouquets and plants to our customers. Our delivery drivers are instructed to carefully inspect the condition of the goods before handing them over to you. In the unlikely event that the goods are found to be damaged or faulty during the delivery process, we will investigate the issue and take appropriate action, which may include offering an exchange. If your order is eligible for exchange, we will arrange re-delivery to be made in the next available time slot.

It is important to note that once the delivery has been made and you have received your goods, we are unable to offer a refund or exchange. We recommend that you inspect your goods immediately upon delivery to ensure that they are in good condition. If you have any concerns or issues with your order, please contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to assist you. Please note that any queries regarding refunds or exchanges will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and our decision on such matters will be final.

Regularly priced orchid plants (excluding items purchased on offer) that fail within 7 days of purchase may be exchanged for a replacement of the same variety and value only if the plant is deemed to have failed due to it is own inherent biology. In the event that the orchid has failed due to detrimental external/environmental factors e.g. incorrect watering, excessive temperatures etc, no exhange will be offered. Our expert team will investigate and determine the best solution on a case by case basis.  A receipt will be required for all exchanges.

Refunds

If you cancel your confirmed order within the specified time limit (at least 72 hours before the delivery date), you will receive a refund. However, once we start preparing your order, we cannot offer a refund. Our bouquets are bespoke, and for items that were ordered specifically and cannot be resold, no refund will be given.

It is important to note that once the delivery has been made and you have received your goods, we are unable to offer a refund.

If the intended recipient refuses an order, the customer will not be refunded. If an order cannot be delivered due to circumstances outside of Orchidya’s control, such as a hospital not accepting flowers or an incorrect delivery address, the customer will not be refunded. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all delivery details are accurate prior to the delivery date.

In cases where a refund is disputed, Orchidya will review each case individually and seek a fair resolution. However, Orchidya’s decision on such matters will be final.

Payment and Order Processing


Payment may be made by any of the methods indicated on the Orchidya  website via Sagepay secure transactions and will be debited when you submit your order. We do not accept Paypal. When you submit your order by clicking on the Place Order button, you are consenting to be bound by our terms and conditions contained in these Terms and Conditions and appearing elsewhere on the Orchidya website.

For your order to be processed and delivered on the required date, you must supply us with all the mandatory details requested. Your order will only be processed if full payment details are given on the payment pages provided for us.

Your order will be confirmed by a summary page at the end of your online transaction and then acknowledged via e-mail to the e mail address provided at the start of the transaction within 12 hours, confirming your order details. You will be issued with an order reference number for any future correspondence. All costs will be charged as defined in the order summary on the date the order was placed.

We will not consider ourselves bound by a contract with you until we have issued a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address you , the customer, has supplied at the start of your transaction.

Our website has a secure checkout in partnership with Sage Pay and we therefore encourage customers to place their orders online. However, on occasion, when submitting customer’s credit/debit card details to our bank, we receive payment failures which prevent us from accepting your order immediately. This may be due to, that, on occasion, credit cards that are entered correctly and have sufficient funds are not validated because the card issuer is performing a random security check. In these cases, we will still have received your order but need to take payment over the phone. We will email or call you in these circumstances. If you receive a message to tell you that payment has not been validated, please contact our customer service team immediately on 0203 302 1539  or email us at info@orchidya.com to ensure your order is delivered on time.

Due to time differences, payments made out of office hours, or problems getting hold of customers via the contact details they have provided, we are sometimes unable to process a valid payment prior to the requested delivery date. If this is the case, once we have received payment, we will dispatch the flowers as soon as possible to ensure that there is no further delay. Although this delay is regrettable, it is, in the circumstances described above, outside our control and therefore we cannot offer any form of refund in these circumstances.
