Dried flowers are fragile. One bad bump and weeks of work are gone. Yet we ship hundreds of bouquets a month without issues. Here's how.
Principle 1: Rigid box
No soft bags, no envelopes. Cardboard box 20% larger than the bouquet on all sides.
Principle 2: Internal fixation
Crumpled paper, soft fabric, bubble wrap or straw shavings. Bouquet lies horizontal, fixed so it doesn't move when the box is gently shaken.
Principle 3: "Fragile / this side up" labels
No guarantee, but helps.
Car transport
Safest. Box in the trunk, nothing on top.
Postal (Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta)
Our stats: Nova Poshta 95% intact, Ukrposhta 85%, international 70–80%. Pay for "fragile" handling, insure, avoid peak days, pick up immediately.
Air travel
Small bouquets in carry-on — OK. Large pampas plumes — ship ahead. Checked baggage — don't.
If it arrives damaged
Pampas shedding — gentle shake. Broken stem — trim shorter. Fallen florets — hot glue. Total destruction — if you bought from us, contact us — we replace within 30 days with photo proof.
