Refunds & Returns

Last updated: June 6, 2026

Overview

Connecticut Blooms takes care in preparing and delivering flowers and gifts so orders arrive in appropriate condition and presentation. This policy explains how damaged, missing, delayed, undeliverable, substituted, or otherwise disputed orders are reviewed, and outlines situations where refunds, replacements, credits, or other resolutions may not be available.

Connecticut Blooms offers flowers, gifts, gift baskets, plants, and related products for eligible delivery destinations across Connecticut. Because many orders include perishable flowers or are prepared for a specific recipient and delivery date, eligibility for a refund, replacement, credit, re-delivery, or other resolution depends on the order condition, delivery outcome, product type, delivery details, timing, and supporting documentation.

Damaged or Missing Items

If an order arrives damaged, defective, or missing items, the issue should be reported by the purchaser or recipient within the applicable timeframe:

  • Perishable items: within 24 hours of delivery
  • Non-perishable items: within 5 days of delivery

Clear photos of the damaged item or items, the full arrangement or product, and the original packaging may be required so customer support can properly assess the issue.

Once the required information is received, Connecticut Blooms will review the claim. Where appropriate, customer support may offer a replacement, store credit, refund, re-delivery, or other resolution based on the order condition, delivery outcome, product type, available documentation, and applicable circumstances.

Refund, Replacement, and Credit Eligibility

Refunds, replacements, credits, re-deliveries, or other resolutions are not automatic and are reviewed at Connecticut Blooms’ discretion. They may not be available in the following situations:

  • Perishable items affected by incorrect delivery information, incomplete recipient details, recipient unavailability, refused delivery, delayed recipient retrieval, or failed access
  • Orders affected by building access issues, gated entry restrictions, security procedures, concierge policies, hospital rules, funeral home procedures, or other facility requirements
  • Change of mind after an order has been placed
  • Personal taste or preference regarding flower variety, color, container, gift contents, or design style
  • Substitutions made in accordance with our substitution standards
  • Orders marked as delivered where proof of delivery or delivery confirmation has been obtained
  • Delays or delivery issues caused by weather, traffic, road conditions, courier disruptions, public emergencies, peak-period volume, or circumstances outside our reasonable control
  • Issues reported outside the applicable reporting timeframe
  • Products that have been opened, used, partially consumed, discarded, altered, or improperly cared for after delivery
  • Customized or personalized items, including orders with recipient-specific messages, delivery instructions, or occasion-specific preparation

Substitutions made in accordance with our substitution standards are not considered defects when the overall style, value, and presentation of the selected product are maintained.

Substitutions

Flowers, containers, plants, gift items, packaging, and other product components may vary based on seasonality, availability, delivery date, product type, and fulfillment requirements.

When substitutions are necessary, Connecticut Blooms aims to maintain the overall style, value, and presentation of the selected product. Exact flowers, colors, containers, packaging, or gift contents are not guaranteed unless expressly confirmed in writing by Connecticut Blooms.

A substitution that maintains the overall intent, value, and presentation of the product does not automatically qualify an order for a refund, replacement, credit, or other resolution.

Perishable Products

Flowers and certain related products are perishable. Freshness, appearance, and lifespan may be affected by handling, delivery timing, weather, temperature, recipient availability, storage, display location, and care after delivery.

After delivery, the recipient is responsible for proper care, hydration, storage, and handling of flowers or perishable items. Connecticut Blooms is not responsible for deterioration caused by improper care, exposure to heat or cold, delayed retrieval, refusal of delivery, or conditions outside our control after delivery.

Returns

Orders are prepared specifically for each customer, recipient, and delivery date. Many items cannot be reused or resold. As a result:

  • Perishable items cannot be returned
  • Opened, used, partially consumed, altered, or discarded items cannot be returned
  • Refused deliveries are treated as undeliverable orders and may not be eligible for refunds
  • Customized, personalized, seasonal, recipient-specific, or occasion-specific items may not be eligible for return

Next-Day Delivery

Connecticut Blooms offers next-day flower and gift delivery service for qualifying orders placed by 2pm EST. Delivery availability depends on the recipient’s Connecticut ZIP code, selected product, order time, delivery date, and operational capacity.

Delivery dates, delivery windows, routing estimates, order status updates, and delivery timing are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless expressly confirmed in writing by Connecticut Blooms.

If a requested delivery option becomes unavailable, Connecticut Blooms may contact the purchaser to discuss available alternatives, which may include substitution, rescheduling, cancellation, refund, credit, or another resolution where appropriate.

Undeliverable Orders

An order may be considered undeliverable if delivery cannot be completed due to circumstances including, but not limited to:

  • Incorrect, incomplete, or outdated delivery address
  • Missing suite, unit, room, department, business, hospital, funeral home, or facility details
  • Recipient unavailability
  • Refused delivery
  • Restricted access, locked entry, gated access, security refusal, or concierge refusal
  • Facility policies that prevent acceptance of the order
  • Unsafe delivery conditions
  • Unable to contact the purchaser or recipient when needed for delivery support

Undeliverable orders may not be eligible for a refund, replacement, credit, or free re-delivery. Resolution options, if any, are determined at Connecticut Blooms’ discretion based on the product type, delivery attempt, product condition, timing, and circumstances.

Re-Delivery

If an order cannot be delivered due to purchaser or recipient circumstances, re-delivery may be offered at the purchaser’s expense where feasible.

  • Re-delivery fees may depend on product type, destination, delivery method, timing, and courier availability
  • Perishable items may require remaking or replacement if they cannot be reused or delivered in appropriate condition
  • Additional product, preparation, or delivery charges may apply where an order must be remade
  • Re-delivery is not guaranteed and depends on product condition, delivery availability, and applicable delivery requirements

Homes, Offices, Buildings, and Managed Property Deliveries

For homes, offices, institutions, apartment buildings, condominiums, gated communities, hospitals, funeral homes, care facilities, and managed properties, delivery may be completed at a reception desk, mailroom, concierge, security desk, front desk, loading area, office, department, or other location accepted by the building, facility, courier, or delivery partner.

A delivery accepted by a building, facility, concierge, security desk, reception desk, mailroom, office, funeral home, hospital, care facility, or other authorized receiving location may be considered completed.

Hospitals, Funeral Homes, and Care Facilities

Deliveries to hospitals, funeral homes, care facilities, assisted living residences, and similar locations may be subject to facility rules, receiving hours, department procedures, room changes, patient discharge, service timing, or other requirements outside our control.

The purchaser is responsible for providing complete and accurate facility information, including recipient name, facility name, delivery address, room or department details where applicable, service details where applicable, phone number, and delivery instructions.

Connecticut Blooms is not responsible for delivery issues caused by facility restrictions, recipient discharge, incorrect service details, refusal by the facility, or missing information.

Cancellations and Order Changes

Orders may begin processing shortly after payment is submitted. Customers should contact customer support promptly after placing an order if an address correction, recipient update, delivery instruction, cancellation, or other change is needed.

  • Changes cannot be guaranteed once preparation, fulfillment, or delivery coordination has begun
  • Cancellations may not be available once an order has been accepted, prepared, dispatched, or delivered
  • During holidays, peak periods, or high-volume delivery dates, additional notice may be required and changes may not be available
  • Changes to delivery date, delivery address, recipient details, gift messages, or product selection may affect availability, pricing, and delivery eligibility

Connecticut Blooms reserves the right to approve or decline cancellation or change requests at its discretion based on order status, product type, timing, and operational feasibility.

Gift Messages and Personalized Details

If an order includes a gift message, enclosure card, recipient-specific note, or special instruction, the purchaser is responsible for reviewing the information before submitting the order.

Connecticut Blooms may be unable to change, correct, or remove gift messages or personalized details after preparation or fulfillment has begun.

Events Beyond Our Control

Connecticut Blooms is not responsible for refunds, replacements, credits, delays, non-delivery, failed delivery attempts, or service interruptions caused by events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

These may include weather, traffic, road closures, courier disruptions, power outages, public emergencies, natural disasters, labor disruptions, supply shortages, building restrictions, recipient unavailability, facility policies, incorrect customer-provided information, or other force majeure events.

How to Report an Issue

To report an order issue, please contact Connecticut Blooms customer support as soon as possible. Include the following information where available:

  • Order number
  • Purchaser name and contact information
  • Recipient name and delivery address
  • Description of the issue
  • Clear photos of the product and packaging, if the issue involves damage, quality, or missing items
  • Any relevant delivery, facility, or recipient details

Providing complete information helps customer support review the issue more efficiently. Connecticut Blooms may be unable to review claims without sufficient order details or supporting documentation.
