Shopping with Amarante London
Choosing between preserved roses and fresh flowers
If you want a bouquet that will stay put on a sideboard for months, preserved roses are the right category to look at. Amarante describes its roses as real flowers treated with a process to extend their life, so they suit people who would otherwise buy fresh roses each week and watch them fade. Fresh bunches are still the better choice for a one-off occasion where the flowers are meant to be short-lived or where you want a particular seasonal arrangement.
Planning delivery around the calendar
Delivery options are split by speed and certainty. Standard weekday delivery can arrive as soon as the next day if you order by mid-afternoon, Saturday delivery needs an order placed by the previous Friday, and Sunday delivery is a paid option. A specified date option lets you pick the day on the product page, but it only applies to Infinity Rose orders. Because each rose box is hand-made to order and can take up to two working days, build that in when you are working to a deadline.
Same-day and collection options
Same-day delivery covers London and surrounding areas, with a price based on distance. Order early, ideally before 1pm, to give the florists time to finish. Click and Collect is also offered from the Stratford London location during set opening hours, which can be the simplest route if you are close by.
Before you order
Check the delivery address carefully, because once an order is processed the address cannot be changed. Orders also cannot be cancelled once processed, and perishable items cannot be refunded or exchanged except where damage is reported. Keep the packaging if something arrives damaged, since replacements depend on the original box being returned.
