For orders scheduled for delivery, please provide 3-4 hours prior to expected time of delivery for us to process and prepare your floral needs.

You may request a time frame in the special instruction box when ordering, and we will do our best to deliver within the time frame, but we cannot guarantee delivery except for regular delivery times.
During major flower holidays such as Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day, our florists operate extended hours and will be open until the last customer leaves.

ONE-TIME DELIVERY POLICY
Since our delivery fee is free of charge, please note that we will only deliver once. Should the recipient be not available in the delivery address upon delivery, we reserve the right to request the recipient to pick the items up instead, unless the order was mentioned to be left elsewhere by the customer should the recipient be not available.
Requests to be Left Elsewhere Aside from the Recipient
Please note that should you wish to leave the arrangement elsewhere (i.e. hotel concierge), Gardenia Flowers will not be held liable for any issues that may arise right after the order has been delivered to the area instructed.
Do kindly consider, however, before leaving instructions, that temperature in Doha during Summer days (May- September) are quite too high especially during afternoon which normally hits from 43-52 degrees Celsius (110-127 degrees Fahrenheit), which can affect the quality of flowers.
Recipient May Be Contacted

In the event that the gift is meant to be for a "Surprise", please provide an alternate contact person who can help locate the recipient and provide necessary directions.
Business Deliveries
For business deliveries, if the recipient is not there, the business is closed, and a delay in the delivery will hence be unavoidable, then the delivery will be attempted the next business day.
Please note: the florist may call the recipient to schedule the delivery.

Substitution Policy:
Fresh Flowers
At GARDENIA we are committed to delivering your important emotional sentiments on time and as fresh and beautiful as possible. Because of the nature, seasonality, and regional availability of flowers it is sometimes necessary to make substitutions of equal or greater value. We will make every effort to maintain the "look and feel" of the arrangement by considering the overall shape, size, style, and color combinations. In single-variety arrangements the variety will take precedence over color. White roses and cream roses may be substituted for each other as well as peach roses and pink roses. Purple and pink orchids may need to be substituted for white orchids and vice versa.
Flowers or Chocolate in a Vase or Container
Sometimes it is necessary to substitute a different style, size or color of a vase or container on flower or chocolate deliveries.
Styrofoam, Wood Stand and Souvenir Items
Availability of the Souvenir Items, Styrofoam and Wood Stand may subject to change. All our arrangement are made to order. We required at least 2-3 days to prepare the item.
Teddy Bears
Some of our arrangements include a teddy bear. We will make every effort to deliver the style and color of the bear shown, however, we may need to substitute another color or style of bear if the one shown is not available.
Substitutions for Special Occasions
