Questions about our flowers
Why Are Arena Flowers Fresher And Better Value?
Our flowers are fresher and better value than almost any other UK florist for a number of reasons. First and foremost, we buy our flowers from growers with the same values as us - that means ecologically and ethically responsible practices like not using harmful chemical pesticides, creating water saving solutions, treating their employees right and more. Furthermore, we purchase our flowers direct from the flower auctions in Holland, cutting out several commission-taking middlemen along the way. We buy in reasonable volume, so we are able to get better prices on behalf of our customers. Also, our flowers spend only a short period of time in our fridge before going out as we buy every day instead of once a week like the vast majority of florists. This all means that you will get better value flowers that have spent far less time in transit if you buy from Arena Flowers than you would almost anywhere else.Do the flowers come in a vase?
Some of our arrangements come with a vase, which is included in the price (if there is a vase it will say this in the description beneath the picture). If the items do not have a vase you may wish to purchase a vase by clicking the add vase feature next to the product image, adding one from our gifts section or by adding one in the checkout process.How are the flowers packaged?
Our arrangements are beautifully gift-wrapped in paper and biodegradable cellophane wrap and tied with our compostable ribbons. These hand-ties will have a moisture wrap at the bottom to keep the stems hydrated as best as possible. The flowers are then put in a box which will protect them in transit.How do I take care of my flowers?
The best way to care for your beautiful ethical flowers is to follow the instructions on the leaflet included in your delivery. Our top tips: - Trim the stems by around 2cm and at a 45 degree angle - Remove any leaves that will sit below the water line in your vase - Gently remove any guard petals around any roses in your bouquet - these are the outermost petals - Display your bouquet away from sources of direct sunlight, heat (like radiators or working fireplaces), and draughts - Try not to put your bouquet near ripening fruit, as the gases produced can cause your blooms to wilt quicker - Use the flower food provided - Top up or replace water every 2-3 days
Questions about delivery
Where does arena flowers deliver to?
We deliver throughout mainland UK. We currently do not offer a delivery service to a limited number of areas. Please see our flower delivery information for further details.What are your shipping/delivery policies?
Please see our flower delivery information for further details. 100% satisfaction guarantee: In the unlikely event of any problems with any order you place with us we will either resend or refund your order. For further information, please see our comprehensive flower delivery policies page, the terms and conditions of use of the site, and our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.Can you guarantee delivery on a specific date?
We and our distribution partners do the best we can to deliver on the date you request at the time of ordering, but we cannot absolutely guarantee it. We're now able to take orders for Next Day Delivery up to 9pm the evening before, and while most orders are successfully delivered the next day, sometimes delays occur due to problems at the destination, or issues on the road network such as roadworks, collisions and closures.Does arena flowers deliver flowers on a Sunday?
We sure do! Order before 9pm on Saturday for delivery on Sunday.Can deliveries be made to business addresses or hospitals?
Yes, we can deliver to business addresses and hospitals. However, it can be difficult due to their more limited access and hours. Please check with the hospital beforehand whether they are able to accept flower deliveries and ease of access, as occasionally couriers are not able to get to the right reception area for delivery. If the hospital can accept deliveries, it is very important that you provide full and accurate information about the recipient including full name, ward number and full hospital address to make sure the flowers reach the individual. Because our delivery time is between 8am and 7pm, delivering to a business address may not be possible if that business has closed before the courier arrives. If possible, please try to have your flowers delivered to a home address when the recipient will be in.When will the flowers arrive?
Our general delivery times are between 8am and 7pm. You will receive an email to notify you when your order is out for delivery with tracking information. If you have provided a mobile number, delivery information will be texted to that number free of charge.Where is my delivery?
When your order is dispatched, you will receive tracking information from one of our delivery partners which will tell you what stage of delivery your order is at. If you have not received this information, please check you entered your details correctly when placing your order - if you received an order confirmation then you should also get dispatch emails. Once your order is delivered, you'll get an email confirming this. If you included a mobile number at checkout, you will also receive confirmation of delivery via text.It says my order has been delivered but it hasn't?
If you've received a notification of delivery but your order isn't where it should be, please check on your order confirmation email that the delivery address is correct. If there is an error, please get in touch with us straight away. Find our details on the Contact Us page. If your delivery address is correct, it's also worth checking whether you have specified a safe place with our delivery partner either for this order specifically, or for previous orders they have delivered to you. They may have also given it to a neighbour to hold on to for you if leaving it wasn't possible. When either happens, our delivery partner should let you know if your delivery is in your safe place or with a neighbour by posting a delivery card through your door or letterbox.Why was my delivery not left in a safe place?
You need to tell our delivery partners if you have a designated safe place for parcels and orders. They may not leave an order in your safe place if they can't find it easily, or the location doesn't meet their criteria and there's a possibility the order may go missing. If leaving your order in a safe place isn't possible, you should receive a card detailing how to rearrange delivery.Are there any upcoming delivery restrictions?
Delivery Restrictions & Service Notice – August 2025 Please note that due to scheduled non-delivery days and seasonal demand, our delivery services will be subject to the following limitations: No deliveries will be made on the following dates: Monday 25th August 2025. Extended Delivery Times: Standard delivery may take longer than usual during this period due to high order volumes and courier capacity constraints. We recommend placing your orders in advance to avoid disappointment.
I need help
My flowers did not last very long
It's important to follow the flower care advice included in your delivery to help make your flowers last as long as possible. This includes trimming the stems, using the flower food, and keep the flowers away from direct sunlight, sources of heat and draughts. If you've followed these steps and your flowers have not lasted for five or more days, then please get in touch with us and include photos of your bouquet so we can see their condition.Why does my bouquet look different to the picture on the website?
Every bouquet is arranged by our in-house expert florists, and just like how every flower is different, so is every bouquet! We will use the same number and type of stems as in the product description (or seasonal alternatives when unavailable) but it's down to our florists' artistic flair to make an arrangement as special as its recipient.My box arrived damaged or something is missing from my order
If your bouquet box has arrived damaged, please check whether your flowers have been affected and take photos or if you are missing something from your order please get in touch with us and show us the photos and if the bouquet has been damaged we will endeavour to replace the arrangement or the missing items.My flowers or plant didn't arrive in a good condition.
If you're disappointed with the quality of the flowers you've received, there are a number of options. If your flowers look a little dry, but aren't browning or broken, follow the instructions on the leaflet included with your delivery. If they've not perked up after a couple of days then let us know and we'll happily help. If stems are already browning significantly, or have broken in transit, then get in touch right away with photos of the stems and we will do our best to replace them. Your house plant may look a little sad when it arrives, but it probably just needs a good drink. They can also find new surroundings a little stressful, so the best thing to do is to give it a good drink - until all the soil is nice and moist. Depending on what type of light it prefers (shady, indirect or direct sun), place it in an optimal position in your home and give it some time to adjust. For flowers that arrived looking good but haven't lasted very well (less than five days) or if your plant is still looking worse for wear, get in touch with our Customer Experience team right away and we'll do everything we can to replace the bouquet with one that will go the distance.My plant is in poor condition
Your house plant may look a little sad when it arrives, but it probably just needs a good drink. They can also find new surroundings a little stressful, so the best thing to do is to give it a good drink - until all the soil is nice and moist. Depending on what type of light it prefers (shady, indirect or direct sun), place it in an optimal position in your home and give it some time to adjust. If your new green friend is still looking a little worse for wear, Contact Us and we will see if there's anything else we can recommend or whether you need a replacement.Something is missing from my order
Our bouquets make the most of flowers that are currently in season. Occasionally, some stems become unavailable and our expert florists make substitutions that compliment your arrangement. If your bouquet is missing the quantity of stems, for example if you received only 2 roses when there should be 4, please contact us and speak to a member of our brilliant Customer Experience team who will be able to help you.I'm having trouble using the app
Hopefully the Arena Flowers app is as straightforward as our website, but if there's something you're struggling to find or use on there, please get in touch with us and we'll be happy to help.Why is my discount code not working?
Some of our discount codes are exclusively one use only, like our 20% app discount. That means the code will only work on your account once and our system recognises when you've used that code. You can find our new customer codes here. If it's a code you've never used before, make sure you're entering it exactly as it's written on our website, in a newsletter, or in your email. If you're positive the code is correct but it's not working, contact us and someone from our fantastic Customer Experience team will gladly help you.
