Pros and cons
FLOWERBX
Pros
- Same-day delivery is available, and next-day delivery is offered as well, so a gift to GB and US can land on the day it is needed.
- The range covers bouquets, plants and subscriptions, so a plant or a subscription can sit alongside a bouquet in the same order.
- Returns run for 14 days, which leaves room to sort a problem order without ordering everything again.
Cons
- The freshness guarantee is 0 days, so an arrangement that fades early is not covered by a promise.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, while phone support is offered by 55.6% of flower delivery brands on the site, so a quick verbal check is not an option.
- The starting price ranks 23 of 27 brands, which places entry cost in the dearer part of the field.
Fresh Sends
Pros
- bouquets, letterbox flowers and subscriptions puts a one-off bouquet, a letterbox option and a subscription on a single site.
- Next day delivery is offered, so a gift ordered by 5pm EST can arrive the following day.
- Personalization is offered, so a gift can carry a message for a birthday or a thank you.
Cons
- Same day delivery is not offered, and just 52% of brands on the site can meet a same day deadline.
- The $6.95 delivery fee sits on top of the $43 entry price, so the cheapest bouquet costs more at checkout than it first looks.
- Fresh Sends delivers in a single market, the US, so it is out of reach if you are ordering from another country.
Who each suits
FLOWERBX
Who it suits
- People in GB and US who need a gift to land on the day they order it.
- Anyone buying a plant or a subscription for a regular send, since bouquets, plants and subscriptions covers both.
- Readers who weigh the full cost of an order, because £6.50 delivery sits on top of a £45 starting price.
Who should look elsewhere
- Fleurop, if dried flowers are on your list, since its range is bouquets, plants and subscriptions and FLOWERBX does not list them.
- Blumenshop, if letterbox flowers are the priority, since bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants puts them in the range.
Fresh Sends
Who it suits
- Readers in the US who want a one-off bouquet without paying for same day speed.
- Anyone setting up a recurring flower order rather than a single gift, since subscriptions sit in the range.
- Gift buyers who want a personal message attached, since personalization is offered.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers after plants: Serenata Flowers and Blumenshop list plants in bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants and bouquets, letterbox flowers and plants, and the Fresh Sends range does not reach them.
- Shoppers who want dried flowers, since Fleurop carries them in bouquets, plants and subscriptions while Fresh Sends does not.

Questions about each
FLOWERBX
What does a FLOWERBX bouquet cost, and is delivery extra?+
Flowers start at £45. Delivery is charged separately at £6.50, so the headline starting price is not the full cost of a single order. Both are the standing prices rather than introductory rates, which means the same figures apply each time you order and a regular gift habit does not bring a lower entry point.
Can flowers arrive the same day?+
Yes, same-day delivery is available, and next-day delivery is offered as well. The order cutoff of 1pm sets the boundary for the day's slots, so a morning order is the safer bet for a gift needed later the same day. Delivery reaches GB and US, so the option applies to addresses in both markets.
Fresh Sends
How much do flowers cost at Fresh Sends?+
Bouquets start at $43, which is the entry price for a one-off gift. A $6.95 delivery fee is charged on top, so the cheapest order costs $43 plus $6.95 once you reach checkout. Fresh Sends delivers in a single market, the US, so there is one price list to plan around.
Does Fresh Sends offer same day delivery?+
Same day delivery is not offered. Next day delivery is available instead, and orders placed by 5pm EST can still make that slot. If a bouquet has to land today, Fresh Sends is not the shop for it, and a florist that advertises same day delivery is the better fit. Leave a day of margin around birthdays and anniversaries.
