Send Flowers Online to Burnie TAS

Let's go to Tasmania, Andrew said. It'll be fun, he said. I was two months pregnant with Ivy at the time. Tasmania. The state with more corners, curves and hills than anywhere else in the country. Good call Andrew.

I spent most of that week stopping on the side of the road. Every winding stretch between Launceston and Cradle Mountain, every hairpin on the way to Strahan, I'd tap him on the shoulder and he'd pull over. Again. The views were beautiful though, I'll give him that. When I wasn't staring at my feet trying not to be sick.

We did make it to Burnie. Northwest coast, port town, paper mill history. Grabbed fish and chips near the waterfront, watched the ferries come and go. Ivy's 14 now. She has no idea how many roadside stops she caused before she was even born.

We've been sending flowers to Burnie for years through our partner florist network. And I know what you're probably thinking. Can you actually get decent flowers delivered to Tassie? Let me explain why the answer is yes.

Why Ordering Flowers to Tasmania Feels Risky

Here's the thing. A lot of online florists don't really deliver to Tasmania. They post flowers from a warehouse on the mainland and hope for the best. By the time those flowers cross the Bass Strait in a mail van, they've been in transit for days. Thirsty, squashed, petals browning at the edges. Not exactly the impression you were going for.

Then there's the other worries. Will they look anything like the picture? Will they actually arrive on time? What if something goes wrong and I can't reach anyone? What if this is for a funeral and they don't show up?

I get it. You're sending flowers because you can't be there yourself. Maybe it's distance, maybe it's timing, maybe flights across the strait just didn't work out. The last thing you need is to spend money on something that arrives looking sad or doesn't arrive at all.

We have actual partner florists in Burnie. Your flowers are made that morning by a real florist with a real shop. Delivered that day by someone who knows the area. Not posted from Sydney three days ago.

We Actually Owned a Florist Shop (Our Competitors Didn't)

You don't learn this business from a laptop. Most online florists have never touched a flower, never dealt with a walk-in customer having a bad day, never had to explain why the roses didn't quite match the photo. We have.

We bought a florist and gift shop in Kingscliff NSW in 2006. Andrew was in marketing, I was in events, I was pregnant with Asha (our first), and our accountant literally told us "don't do it." We did it anyway.

We were doing deliveries ourselves with a baby in the car. Had flowers delivered to the shop each morning by a local florist we'd found. Dealt with quiet June days where maybe $25 came through the till. Learned the hard way what works and what doesn't.

That experience shaped everything. It's why we don't charge our partner florists membership fees (we know how tight margins are). It's why florists trust us. It's why we hired ex-florists like Anna, who's been with us 15 years now and talks to florists in a way Andrew and I never could.

The pivot to online happened almost by accident. Previous owner had taken out a Yellow Pages ad (the actual book) and suddenly we were copping 40 plus calls a day for flower deliveries to places we couldn't reach. Then one freezing June day, staring at an empty till, we thought there has to be a way. Find florists in other towns. Ask them to help. No fees, just a transparent commission covered by adding a few extra stems. Every florist we approached said yes. That was 2008. Now we've got over 800 partners across every state and territory, Tasmania very much included.

Still a Mum and Dad operation. Kids are 18 and 14 now (Ivy, the roadside stop queen, is the 14 year old). Business decisions happen at the dinner table or driving to netball. No boardroom. No marketing department. Just us.

What Happens If Something Goes Wrong

Things go wrong sometimes. Flowers are a fresh product, couriers have bad days, sometimes the unexpected happens. We don't pretend otherwise.

But here's the difference. If something's not right, call us within 24 hours. Send us a photo of what arrived. We'll sort it. A replacement, a refund, whatever makes sense. We'd rather fix a problem than lose your trust.

Our customer service team works from Armidale, all Australian, no offshore call centres. Our number is 1300 360 469. We've also got Anna on the team, ex-florist, been with us 15 years. We actually answer the phone. Six days a week you can reach a real person who can actually help.

What 3,000 Customers Said Last Year

Back in 2013 we partnered with Feefo, a review platform endorsed by Google. Only verified customers can leave reviews. We can't delete the bad ones, can't get mates to write nice things. Completely independent.

In the last 12 months we've had over 3,000 reviews and won Feefo's Trusted Service Award in both 2024 and 2025. You need at least 50 reviews at 4 stars or above to qualify. We cleared that by a mile.

When Burnie Needs Flowers

The Bass Strait makes everything harder. You can't just pop over from Melbourne for the weekend. Flights add up, the ferry takes time, and suddenly that quick visit becomes a whole production.

Thinking of you flowers carry weight here. Kids on the mainland wanting to check in on parents who stayed. No occasion, no reason, just a "we're thinking of you" arriving at the door. It won't replace being there. But it's something tangible when a text message feels hollow.

Sympathy flowers matter in smaller towns. When someone passes in Burnie, the community feels it. We call the funeral home directly to coordinate timing so arrangements arrive before the service. These ones can't be late. We know that. If you'd prefer flowers sent to the family home instead of the funeral, we can do that too.

Then there's birthdays. Milestone ones especially, 70th or 80th, when you can't make the trip. Grandkids who've never even been to Tassie. Flowers show up even when you can't.

Same Day Flower Delivery to Burnie

Order by 2PM weekdays or 10AM Saturdays and we'll have flowers delivered same day. Delivery fee is $16.95, though we subsidise the cost if outer areas run higher.

We cover Burnie and surrounding areas. Wynyard, Somerset, Penguin, Ulverstone. If you're not sure whether we reach a specific spot, just ask.

Nobody home? Our courier leaves flowers somewhere safe, out of the sun, out of view from the street. If that's not possible they'll call the recipient. We don't just dump and run. Leaving flowers to wilt on a doorstep defeats the purpose.

Business addresses usually see delivery by 5PM, residential by 7PM. We don't guarantee exact times but we genuinely try.
