Replacements, Refunds and Substitutions
If you are unhappy with the flowers you have received, please send the flowers back to Flowers For Fundraising  within 24 hours from the time they were received. We will need pictures of the flowers before we are able to issue credit. Fresh cut flowers have a limited life so flowers that are being returned must be shipped via overnight delivery.

If flowers are returned within the above mentioned guidelines Flowers For Fundraising will replace the order with a similar order of equal value to be redelivered at a time requested by customer as long as delivery times coincide with our shipping carrier's schedule.

Flowers For Fundraising will not be held responsible for roses that were not cared for according to the included instructions with the flowers or by the instructions posted on our website.

In very rare cases a specific color or flower may not be available for shipment on the requested ship date.

Flowers For Fundraising will make appropriate attempts to contact the sender on the day of shipment to arrange for a substitution. If we cannot contact the sender, a different color or flower of similar price may be substituted. This is not cause for a refund or replacement. If the shipping carrier fails to make delivery on the requested delivery day, due to fault of Flowers For Fundraising, Flowers For Fundraising may issue a credit for a replacement order of equal value. Under no circumstance will Flowers For Fundraising issue a refund due to our shipping carrier's failure or inability to deliver flowers on a promised day. If our shipping carrier losses a package, Flowers For Fundraising will send a replacement order or provide the customer with a credit of equal value for future orders.
