Straight Answers

Choosing a service, and how we rank them.

What Is the Best Online Flower Delivery Service?

On our latest round of paid orders, The Bouqs Co. leads the ranking with a Petal Tested score of 4.9, and From You Flowers has the cheapest best seller delivered at $44.97. The best choice for you depends on your budget, the occasion, and how close you are to the same-day cut-off, and you can re-sort the list by cheapest delivered.

How Do You Test Each Flower Delivery Service?

We place a paid order at the retailer's own checkout, with one neutral message line where one is required, and send it to a tester's home, so the retailer sees an ordinary customer. The tester checks delivery against the promised window, photographs the box, card and flowers in daylight, then repeats the same shot on days 3, 5 and 7 and records the day the flowers first looked tired. Eight criteria are scored from what the tester saw, and we score value from the delivered price.

What Does Cheapest Delivered Mean?

Cheapest delivered means the lowest price among a retailer's own best sellers, after any code our link applies, plus the delivery fee our own cart paid at that retailer, at a named ZIP code on a named date. It is the bouquet's price with the delivery fee included, not a list price with the fee left out, and the fee can differ at another ZIP or date.

Why Are Some Services Not Ranked?

Flowerbx is the one exception: it ranks on its May 2023 review, a score given before the 2026 criteria. Every other service ranks once its 2026 order is scored and its review is signed off by our founder. Until then it appears below the ranking, unranked, with its prices and cut-offs shown but no score. The list changes as reviews are signed off, so a service can move into the ranking at any time.

Do Retailers Pay to Be Ranked or Reviewed?

No. Retailers cannot pay for an order, a score, or a place in the ranking. We pay for every order ourselves, with no free or comped orders. We may earn a commission when a reader buys through a link, but it does not change the price you pay or what we publish.
