Florists are one of our main clients so it is only right we give our Runners some tips and tricks to deliver their flowers in the best way possible.
– As we all know, flowers are very fragile and weather sensitive, meaning you can’t expect to ride around with them all day and deliver them in good condition.
– After picking them up don’t just throw them on your back seat. If you do so they might get squished. Instead, make sure to always have a bucket in your car with a little water in it. As soon as you pick up the flowers, put them in the bucket, secure the bucket and off you go until drop off.
– Sometimes the flowers are already in a vase. In this case you need to be extra cautious in order not to break the vase. Keep in mind if you smash it you’ll have to pay for it. To avoid that be extra careful.
– Florists can be really busy, so make sure you have all the details you need before you leave. You might not be able to contact them if you realise some details are missing for the drop off. In any case, make sure you have all the details you’ll need, such as the recipient name, especially for hospital deliveries.
– For proof of good delivery don’t forget to take a picture of the flowers at drop off.
