Fresh flowers don’t wait around. Every minute matters when you’re working with something as delicate, perishable and emotionally significant as a bouquet meant to mark a moment in someone’s life. Yet too often, florists are left wrestling with delivery delays that feel more suited to flat-packed furniture than fresh-cut roses.

We’ve spoken to florists across London who’ve told us the same thing: timing makes or breaks their business. And yet, most courier services treat flower deliveries like just another parcel. No care, no urgency, no understanding of how much depends on those stems arriving intact and on time.

Let’s say you’ve crafted the perfect bridal bouquet. You’ve matched every shade to the dress, arranged each flower with precision, packed it for the journey and then it turns up late, limp, or worse, not at all. That’s not just a lost order. It’s a lost client. A dent in your reputation. And all because someone didn’t treat your product with the respect it deserves.

That’s why we started rethinking what delivery looks like for florists. Not just in theory, in the day-to-day, where the flowers you prepared in the morning need to be in someone’s hands that same afternoon.

Here’s what we’ve changed: 1. Speed that matches your pace We offer same-day delivery across key postcodes in London. You don’t need to plan days ahead or rely on next-day windows. We operate on your time, because we know your customers expect you to do the same. 2. Real-time updates, real peace of mind You and your customer can both see where the order is, minute by minute. No guessing games. No anxious phone calls. Just control, clarity and calm. 3. Temperature-aware handling Our delivery partners understand the basics and the not-so-basics of flower care. We avoid leaving boxes in blazing sun, pack appropriately, and never treat your bouquet like a shoebox. 4. Direct communication We’re not a faceless app. We actually speak to the florists we work with. We’ll text, call, or even pop by if you need us to understand a specific setup. It’s all about building relationships, not just ticking boxes.

Florists aren’t just selling flowers. You’re delivering joy, comfort, celebration, apology, and love all in one fragile package. And you deserve a delivery service that respects the work behind it.

At Onelivery UK, we didn’t build this for big-box retailers. We built it for small teams in back rooms filled with creativity, for family-run shops who know their regulars by name, and for the independent florist trying to make every petal count.

You keep London blooming. We’ll make sure your flowers get there in time to be seen.
