Pros and cons
Arena Flowers
Pros
- Subscriptions sit in the range at bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants; Serenata Flowers covers bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants and no subscription line.
- Next day delivery is available with an order cutoff of 9pm, an option shared by 51.3% of brands tracked.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, and phone alone reaches 62.8% of brands in the group.
Cons
- Same day delivery is not offered, so a last minute letterbox order travels on next day delivery instead.
- The freshness guarantee runs 5 days, while the site median sits at 7.
- Delivery is charged at £4.90 on top of a £28 entry price, so the headline figure is not the delivered total.
Interflora

- Freshness guarantee of 7 days, ranked 3 of 20
- Same day delivery is available, and next day delivery is offered too
Cons
- Delivery costs £7.65, which weighs more on a small order starting at £25

Who each suits
Arena Flowers
Who it suits
- Shoppers who want the full bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants range settled in a single checkout rather than across separate shops.
- Gift senders in the United Kingdom, IE and IM who need next day delivery and personalization.
- Buyers who want help by more than email, since support runs on email, chat and phone.
Who should look elsewhere
- Dried flowers are the reason to pick Fleurop instead, since its range covers bouquets, plants and subscriptions.
- Readers who want a plants-led catalogue with no subscription line fit Blumenshop better, with bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants.
- Same day shoppers: Arena Flowers does not offer it, so a last minute gift waits for next day delivery.
Interflora
Who it suits
- You send flowers to recipients across the UK and beyond, thanks to GB, IE and GG
- You want subscriptions and letterbox flowers under the same roof, as bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants shows
- You value a freshness promise, with 7 days of cover
Who should look elsewhere
- Fleurop, if you want dried flowers in the range alongside bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants
- Serenata Flowers or Blumenshop, if the £7.65 delivery fee pushes your order past your budget
- Anyone who wants to talk to a person on the phone, since support runs on email and help centre only

Questions about each
Arena Flowers
How much does a flower order cost at Arena Flowers?+
Prices open at £28 for the lowest priced arrangements, and delivery is a separate £4.90. The entry price ranks 14 of 27 tracked brands, so it is a mid table starting point rather than the cheapest on the board. Add the delivery fee to any budget before comparing with another range.
Does Arena Flowers do same day delivery?+
Same day delivery is not offered. Next day delivery is available, with an order cutoff of 9pm, so an order placed before the cutoff can reach its recipient the following day. Across the brands tracked here, 52% offer same day delivery and 51.3% offer next day, which is why same day shoppers have a shorter list.
Interflora
What does Interflora charge at entry, and what is the delivery fee on top?+
Flowers start at £25, and a delivery fee of £7.65 is added on top. That fee is the part worth watching, because on a small gift it takes up a large share of the total. On a larger order it spreads across more stems, so the cost per flower falls.
How long is the freshness guarantee on Interflora orders?+
The freshness guarantee runs for 7 days, and Interflora ranks 3 of 20 on that measure. It sits at the stronger end of the flower delivery category, which matters most for birthdays and anniversaries where arrival day matters.
