With our busy lives nowadays delivery service has become a lot more popular as a convenient way to shop.
Aside from the convenience,flower delivery is the only way to go if you live far from the recipient which is the case very often.
Also when flowers are received as a delivery, whether at home or work,there is more appreciation of the gift.
Seulbergers florist has been delivering flowers in Oakland,Ca and surrounding cities for many years.We are very familiar with the streets,neighborhoods and pockets of this city,and that is a big help to make the deliveries.
We like to share our knowledge and experience in deliveries in this blog,it is quite interesting and can be quite helpful.
Deliveries around downtown and congested areas has the challenge of finding parking and in some cases you may have to send 2 people with one waiting
in the car and other making the deliveries.Some buildings have strict security and you may not be able to go up to the floor,so very important to have good contact for the recipient and make arrangement to get the flowers to them.
If the flowers are going to an apartment building,you need to contact the recipient so you can have entry into the building to get to their unit.
If the flowers are going to workplace,there is good chance they want to take the flowers home with them,so the vase arrangement should be delivered in special square cardboard box that can sit in their car stable on the way home.
Proper packaging of the vase arrangement in the delivery vehicle is very important,so the arrangement doesn,t lose it's design/form from the movements,this is very very important.Also flowers should not get damaged from tight packaging,specially lily pedals.
Timely delivery to hospital patient very important in case they are going to be discharged.
Delivery to a funeral service should be at least half hour before the start of the service to avoid the crowd of attendants.With funeral homes delivery can be made hours before the service but with churches there is usually a smaller window of time as churches are not always open.Proper contact with funeral facility may be necessary to confirm time and place of service and the name of the deceased.Often times there may be a viewing at the funeral home and service at a church and the funeral home people are highly skilled to take the flowers to the church.With the standing sprays the floral spray part should be properly secured to the stand with wiring(This is extremely important).
Most longer distance deliveries should be scheduled outside of rush hour traffic to avoid traffic delays.
Deliveries for birthdays and anniversaries should be made earlier as that day is special and important and the flowers should be enjoyed for most of that day.
When delivering to a home if no one is home,it's no problem leaving at the door,in my many years never had problem with stealing the floral gift,just making sure it is not too exposed to the eyes,the sun and weather elements.
Grouping the flowers based on their location to be efficient with directions is extremely important.
Delivering to the hills of Oakland is far or some very distant areas,so hopefully it is a larger order to make it worthwhile.
Over the years we have been delivering to many places all over Oakland and besides the downtown and uptown,some of the popular neighborhoods of Oakland to name,Rockridge,Montclair,Piedmont,Glenview,Adams point,Grand lake,Laurel,Diamond,Temescal and many more.
When delivering for a happy occasion ,do it with a smile as you are adding to their joy and happiness.
When it comes to deliveries of flowers in Oakland we are very experienced and dependable.
