When it comes to sourcing premium flowers internationally, the logistics are as important as the farm. Florists rely on precise timing, especially when preparing for weddings, large events, and busy retail periods. Even small disruptions in transit or breaks in the cold chain can shorten vase life and reduce the quality florists depend on for high-value arrangements. Temperature fluctuations during transportation may not be immediately visible but can affect performance days later during event preparation or retail display. At iBuyFlowers, we take this responsibility seriously. That is why we previously paused shipments from Hilverda De Boer (HdB) when the logistics available at the time did not meet the reliability standards our customers expect. Following significant improvements to our logistics and transportation solutions, we have reintroduced HdB to iBuyFlowers to once again provide our customers access to their extensive range of floral products.
One of the biggest reasons florists and wholesalers choose Hilverda De Boer is the breadth and depth of their floral offerings. With thousands of products available daily through their online platform, buyers gain access to both classic staples and exciting specialty varieties. However, great products alone are not enough.
In the past, we chose to pause certain shipments because we were not fully satisfied with the transportation consistency available at that time. Rather than risk inconsistent quality for our customers, we decided to wait until a stronger logistics solution was in place.
What changed is the transportation infrastructure. With the integration of improved cold chain logistics and reliable FedEx international shipping solutions, we now have a transportation pathway that protects temperature stability and delivery timing from The Netherlands to the United States.
This means:
These improvements allow us to confidently reintroduce HDB’s inventory to the iBuyFlowers marketplace.
For florists, designers, and event professionals, this reintroduction expands access to one of the most diverse floral assortments available in the industry. HDB offers an impressive variety of fresh cut flowers sourced from top growers around the world, including:
Beyond flowers, their wholesale assortment includes a wide range of premium cut foliage and greenery. From structural greens to delicate fillers, these products add dimension and balance to bouquets, centerpieces, and installations.
As always with international flowers, planning ahead helps ensure the best availability and delivery windows. Florists preparing for weddings or large events should consider placing orders in advance to secure the varieties they need. You can order up to 2 weeks in advance.
Our team also continues to monitor logistics closely and provide guidance when selecting shipping options.
In case of last-minute needs or backup requirements, you can also source from our Miami partner inventory to ensure you receive the flowers you need on time.
Sustainability is increasingly important in the floral industry, and HDB actively works toward responsible sourcing and environmentally conscious operations.
The company partners with growers who meet strict environmental and social standards, prioritizing certifications and responsible production practices. By working closely with trusted farms around the world, they help ensure that flowers are cultivated with care for both people and the planet.
In addition, HDB focuses on:
For wholesale flower buyers, this means you can confidently source bulk flowers knowing they come from a supplier committed to improving sustainability across the industry. Aligning with environmentally responsible partners also helps strengthen your brand reputation with today’s eco-conscious customers.
Reintroducing HDB allows us to expand our inventory while continuing to deliver the level of quality our customers expect. At iBuyFlowers, our goal is to connect florists with exceptional flowers while ensuring the supply chain behind those flowers is strong and reliable.
