Our verdict on each
Appleyard
Appleyard is the pick for UK shoppers who want same day flowers, a subscription and a 7 day freshness guarantee in one basket. Entry price of £35.98 and a £5.99 delivery charge put it mid-table on cost, so value seekers should weigh that before ordering.
Send Flowers
Send Flowers suits buyers ordering inside the US at short notice, with same day delivery and a $24.99 entry point that ranks near the front on price from. The trade-off sits with freshness, where the guarantee runs 0 days, so the vase life promise is thinner than the delivery promise.

Pros and cons
Appleyard
Pros
- Same day delivery is available, alongside next day delivery, so urgent gifts are covered.
- The range spans bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants, which means bouquets, plants, subscriptions and dried flowers sit in one basket.
- A 7 day freshness guarantee backs every order, and the return window is 14 days.
Cons
- Delivery adds £5.99 on top, so a £35.98 order is not the full outlay.
- The entry price of £35.98 places the brand toward the expensive end on price, at position 20 of 27.
- The catalogue runs in GB only, so buyers outside the UK cannot use it.
Send Flowers
Pros
- Send Flowers offers same day delivery, which is the reason to choose it when the date matters more than the range of varieties.
- A $24.99 entry point places it 5 out of 27 brands compared on price from, a solid spot at the cheap end of the field.
- Support runs through chat, phone and email, so an urgent problem can go down the phone rather than waiting on a written reply.
Cons
- The freshness guarantee is 0 days, so the promise attached to a bouquet is thin where the delivery promise is strong.
- Delivery adds $13.99 on top of a $24.99 bouquet, so the entry price is not the whole cost of an order.
- Send Flowers sells bouquets and plants, which leaves out the letterbox flowers on bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants and the subscriptions and dried flowers on bouquets, plants and subscriptions.
Who each suits
Appleyard
Who it suits
- UK shoppers sending a same day gift who also want plants or a subscription from the same seller.
- Buyers who care about cover on a flower order and read the 7 day freshness guarantee as the deciding factor.
- Gift buyers who need personalization and reach support on email, phone and help centre when something goes wrong.
Who should look elsewhere
- Fleurop buyers, who want a wider product list that already includes bouquets, plants and subscriptions if plants are not on their list.
- Serenata Flowers buyers who would rather start from a lower entry price than pay £5.99 on delivery.
- Blumenshop buyers looking outside the UK, since Appleyard's markets cover GB only.
Send Flowers
Who it suits
- Buyers in the US who need flowers to land today rather than tomorrow, since same day delivery is offered.
- Gift buyers who want personalization on the order and a set arrival day, since next day delivery is offered as well.
- Price-first shoppers, since the $24.99 entry point ranks 5 out of 27 brands compared.
Who should look elsewhere
- Fleurop, for a buyer who wants a recurring subscription or dried flowers, since its bouquets, plants and subscriptions range covers both while Send Flowers sells bouquets and plants.
- Serenata Flowers, for a buyer after letterbox flowers, which appear in its bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants range and not in Send Flowers' bouquets and plants.

Questions about each
Appleyard
What does a first Appleyard order cost?+
Bouquets start at £35.98, and delivery is charged on top at £5.99. The two figures sit together, so the amount you see on the shop is the start of the spend rather than the whole cost of getting flowers to the door. Larger arrangements push the total higher.
How fast can Appleyard deliver?+
Same day delivery is available, and next day delivery is offered as well, which covers planned as well as urgent orders. The same day option is the reason many buyers pick this seller over a florist that only offers a next day window.
Send Flowers
How much does an order from Send Flowers cost?+
The catalogue starts at $24.99, which is the price of the cheapest bouquets rather than of every arrangement. On that entry price Send Flowers ranks 5 out of 27 brands compared. Delivery is charged separately at $13.99, so the order costs more than the entry figure and costs the same again on a repeat.
Can Send Flowers deliver the same day?+
Same day delivery is offered, so an order placed with time to spare can go out on the day it is placed. The daily order cutoff is 3pm, which sets how late a same day order can be accepted. Delivery covers US, so the same day window applies inside the US rather than across several countries.
