Same Day Flower Delivery Cost | Tallahassee Florida


This article is about delivery charges. Why florists charge what they charge and how that compares to other delivery services.   Just in case you were wondering,
😀

How many places do you know that offer same-day delivery? Pizza places? Food delivery services? When you googled same-day delivery, there is a crazy number of businesses that now offer same-day delivery.  I was shocked even FedEx offers this service. Not sure the cost and they are limited to certain zip codes.

The FedEx rates from Tallahassee to Tallahassee. This calculation was for Shipping on Friday with delivery on Saturday. For delivery overnight by 10:00 the following morning the cost is 83.92. By 3:00 pm on Monday, the cost was 32. 34.




Delivery from Tallahassee to New York for the same time frame overnight by 9:30 was 126.56. Monday by 3:00 was 70.14. 
Over the years of floral services in Tallahassee, we have had more than a few customers concerned about our delivery fee. Our base fee is 10.95 for same-day delivery.  The farther away we go the more it cost the sender.  I understand the concern. I like free shipping too. But really is anything "really" free? How much are you willing to pay for same-day delivery? Especially when you forgot a birthday or anniversary.  How about overnight or same-day on Christmas eve?  How about by 10:00 next-day? Or a two-hour window?

 Now that we have compared the delivery cost of other services let's look at the cost for your local florist to deliver.  The cost of doing business is always a concern for small business owners.  Delivery vans cost of maintenance,  cost of fuel, cost of the driver.  If the delivery is within a few miles of the shop's location then the delivery fee should be lower. If it is far away then it will be higher.

Let's say we have a delivery to Crawfordville Florida. We only have one delivery there today so it is a trip there and back. It takes about 30 minutes one way. So there and back is one hour. You may pay your driver 12.00 an hour.  The distance from the shop to downtown Crawfordville is about 20 miles. If your van gets 20 miles per gallon it will take two gallons so the cost will be about 7.00 in gas.
So 12+7= $19 now this doesn't include the cost of van, insurance, and wear and tear on the van. Can you tell me how much you would charge per delivery to Crawfordville?

If you own a flower shop I hope this will help you calculate how much to charge. If you are a customer looking to send flowers I hope this will help you understand why we charge what we charge.

A Country Rose delivers daily to all of Tallahassee, we also service Havana, Quincy, Crawfordville, Woodville, Monticello, and Midway. If ordering online calculations of delivery charges are at check out. Wedding flower delivery is charged on distance and set up time.

Thank you for reading I would love your comments and questions.

Locally Grown; Our Flower Farm | Farm to Florist | Tallahassee, Florida

We haven't really shared much about our cut flower farm but it is time for that to change! We are honored to be able to provide our customers with many locally grown flowers! The  owner of  A  Country  Rose ,   Annette started farming on an acre at her home in Wakulla County about eight years ago. She has since moved herself and her farm to a new location with more space for growth (pun intended). Annette  and her husband Ed are the ones who make all the magic  happen.  The most current tasks around  the  farm as of the last  couple  of weeks is a reworking of all the beds. They've been pulling up all the irrigation, laying new rows which includes 100's of tractor loads of compost and mulch then re-laying of black ground cover (to keep weeds at bay), white ground cover (to keep the black from burning the flowers) and then replacement of the irrigation.  It's a lot of work but the  results will be amazing and below is a sneak peek of what we are  harvesting  right now.
