Can I ship flowers with every courier company?
It is important to note that not all courier companies will ship flowers internationally. For example, DHL, TNT and UPS will not ship packages that contain flowers within the content. Each courier has specific rules and requirements for different shipments and services, so we recommend checking this further with the designated courier for your route. When booking Express or Regular plus shipping services, please make sure not to include these items as the courier will refuse to collect the parcel. If you need further assistance, you can reach us by chat, phone or email before shipping to discuss your options further.
Can you ship flowers in the mail, internationally or domestically?
If you wish to send flowers by post within Europe, you must first check if a
phytosanitary certificate is required, as the European Union imposes strict regulations for plants and flowers. Likewise, if you are sending flowers internationally outside the EU, you should first check if the specific countries’ restrictions for importing fresh flowers and plants. Most countries have their own set of documents required in order for the shipment to pass customs, and may be subject to quarantine upon arrival. If you do wish to send flowers by mail, please be aware that flowers and plants are considered restricted by most courier companies, so individuals choose to do so at their own risk as insurance will not apply.
Is insurance included when sending plants and flowers by courier?
- For individuals: Unfortunately, insurance does not apply for shipping prohibited and restricted items and individuals choose to do so at their own risk.
- For businesses: Depending on the type of courier service, insurance options may be available when shipping flowers to customers. For more information about insurance options for shipping flowers, please contact our experts who will be happy to advise you.
Does Eurosender offer same-day delivery when sending bouquets and flower arrangements?
Yes, same-day collection and delivery options are available within Europe, depending on the route and time of booking, through the Express service. However, please be aware that sending fresh flowers and shipping plant cuttings is restricted by most courier companies. Individuals who choose to send fresh cut flowers do so at their own risk.
Can I choose refrigerated shipping when booking through Eurosender?
At the moment, Eurosender does not provide temperature-controlled transportation but we are currently working on making this service available to customers very soon. Customers who require temperature-controlled transport for shipping fresh flowers or anything else bear the responsibility for possible damages caused during transport.

How to ship flowers to the UK after Brexit?
Most plants, including cut flowers, must have a phytosanitary certificate for importation and pass a physical health check at an inland place of destination. Do not forget that now the customs are obligatory for all the goods imported to the UK and thus the delivery time may be longer than usual. If you decide to ship flowers to Great Britain, make sure you provide good packaging and comply with the relevant plant health regulations.
