At iBuyFlowers, we know that timing, freshness, and reliability are everything when it comes to floral delivery. That’s why we’ve partnered with FedEx to create a shipping process that keeps your flowers in top condition, from the moment your boxes leave the farm to the moment they arrive at your shop.
All of our international flower shipments are sent via FedEx Priority, ensuring the fastest and most secure delivery possible. The journey begins in South America, where flowers are loaded onto a refrigerated FedEx plane. Once they arrive in the United States, they pass through a climate-controlled customs facility in Miami, keeping your blooms within the cold chain every step of the way.
For domestic shipments from U.S. farms or our Komet facilities in Miami, we use FedEx Overnight to get flowers to your door quickly and safely. FedEx has also been making strides toward sustainability, in 2023, they reduced aircraft emissions by 30% per package and are on track to achieve carbon-neutral operations by 2040. So, you can feel good knowing your flowers are traveling responsibly.
To ensure you get exactly what you want, we recommend placing your flower orders at least 10 days in advance. This lead time allows for a wider selection, especially when ordering directly from South American farms. If you're a bit short on time, many farms can still fulfill orders up to a week in advance.
Need something faster? Our Komet facilities in Miami offer a great solution with bulk products available for overnight shipping. While this option doesn’t allow for building your own custom boxes, it’s a convenient choice for last-minute needs. Just note: South American orders are typically more cost-effective compared to Miami, but the latter is a fantastic backup when you're in a pinch.
One of the best parts about ordering with iBuyFlowers.com is the complete transparency in the shipping process. From the moment your label is printed at the farm, you can track your shipment in real time, including when it's onboard the delivery vehicle headed to your shop. This level of visibility takes the stress out of the equation, giving you peace of mind knowing exactly when to expect your flowers.
Through our exclusive partnership with FedEx, we’ve taken extra steps to protect your flowers every step of the way. Every shipment requires a signature upon delivery to make sure your flowers aren’t left outside in extreme temperatures or unattended. While you can opt out of the signature requirement, we strongly recommend keeping it enabled to avoid any risk to your blooms.
Worried you won’t be at your store at the time of delivery? No problem, FedEx Pickup locations are available as an alternative. We highly recommend setting up an account at FedEx.com to track and choose alternative delivery options easily.
At iBuyFlowers, we're committed to delivering not just flowers, but reliability, freshness, and peace of mind. Whether you’re ordering for a wedding, a weekly shop refresh, or a last-minute event, you can trust our shipping process to get the job done both beautifully and on time. We have designed a shipping process that goes far beyond just getting flowers from point A to point B.

Every detail is crafted to protect your flowers and your business.
