SHIPPING AND DELIVERY POLICY
Our Shipping and Delivery Policy (“Policy”) is provided to help you determine
what you can expect based on the type of good being delivered (Perishable or
Hard Goods), the recipient’s location, and the time of year.
PERISHABLE GOODS
COOLGREENANDSHADY.COM fulfills your orders for Perishable Goods (including, but
not limited to, flowers, floral arrangements, plants, and fruits baskets)
through a select group of florists throughout the world, including those within
the Teleflora and FTD networks, and through Cool Green & Shady retail
location(s). A complete delivery address including postal code and a correct
recipient contact telephone number must be provided at the time an order is
placed. COOLGREENANDSHADY.COM will not be held responsible for deliveries
delayed or lost due to incorrect delivery information being given. We may
attempt to look up this information on the customer's behalf, but will not be
held liable should the delivery be delayed or lost due to this information
being incorrect.
DELIVERY AREAS
COOLGREENANDSHADY.COM can deliver Perishable Good orders to most of the United
States and Canada. We are also capable of delivering Perishable Goods to more
than 150 countries across the globe. Delivery to some remote rural areas may
not be possible. All deliveries are subject to regional availability of
product, and occasionally, substitutions may be necessary to fulfill your
order. Our current Substitution Policy is available online by
clicking here.
DELIVERY DATES
Most orders received before 2:00 PM in the recipient’s time zone, destined for
the United States or Canada during non-holiday periods, can be delivered the
same day. COOLGREENANDSHADY.COM must confirm all same day orders prior to order
acceptance, as delivery to rural areas may not be possible on the same day. To
avoid disappointment on any delivery, we suggest that you order as far in
advance as possible. Please review the following schedules for details:
Non-Holiday Periods:
Monday to Friday - Most orders received before 2:00 PM in the recipient's time
zone can be delivered the same day. Orders received after 2:00 PM in the
recipient's time zone will be delivered the following day.
Saturdays - Most orders received before 2:00 PM in the recipient's time zone can
be delivered the same day. Orders received after 2:00 PM in the recipient's
time zone may not be delivered until Monday (see “Sundays” below).
Sundays - We will do our best to accommodate deliveries on Sunday, however,
Sunday deliveries cannot be guaranteed. In the event that a delivery cannot be
accomplished on Sunday, the delivery will be made the following day.
Holiday Periods:
Due to the volume of orders we process leading up to the major holidays, it is
sometimes not possible to offer same day delivery. These holidays include;
Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day and Christmas. In order to avoid
disappointment, we suggest that you order early and choose a delivery date a
few days before the actual holiday.
DELIVERY TIMES
We will do our best to accommodate deliveries at specific times of day,
including deliveries to businesses and funeral homes, but we cannot guarantee
it. We suggest that you order several days in advance of the required delivery
date to help allow for the necessary preparations involved in timed deliveries,
however, the timed delivery will still not be guaranteed.
DELIVERY CHANGES OR CANCELLATION
Please be advised that we are unable to change or cancel any orders presently en

selected and/or used during the customer’s transaction on the Site (either US
dollars or Canadian dollars). Due to the difference in currency exchange rates,
the price of an arrangement will fluctuate based on the destination country for
your order. When and where applicable, these price changes will be clearly
indicated beside the delivery destination option when adding an item to your
basket. Some deliveries to rural areas may also be subject to extra rural
