Same Day Delivery - Eastwood Wide
Here's something that scared us when we first signed up. Feefo. It's an independent review platform, Google endorsed, and the thing is you can't fake it. They only collect reviews from actual customers who've actually bought something. We can't delete the bad ones. We can't get mates to write nice things. It's completely out of our hands.
Flowers are subjective too, which makes it even riskier. One person looks at a bouquet and thinks it's stunning. Another person sees the same arrangement and reckons it's a bit much. Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that. So putting ourselves out there with zero control over what people would say? Took some guts honestly.
But here we are. Over 23,000 verified reviews. Won Feefo's Trusted Service Award in 2024, 2025 and again in 2026. To qualify you need at least 50 customer reviews with an average of 4 stars or above. We got over 3,000 reviews in the qualifying period, more than 60 times the minimum. Real feedback from real customers. The good, the ordinary, and the occasionally brutal. It keeps us honest.

* All the staff training is working, we have no won this Feefo trusted service award 3 years in a row.
Eastwood has a personal connection for us. Andrew's mate Mikey lived there growing up and they spent a ridiculous amount of time hanging around the suburb. Skating. Riding their mountain bikes through the streets and parks. Just being teenagers with nothing much to do and nowhere particular to be. That was Eastwood in the 90s. Korean BBQ places weren't quite the thing they are now but the bones of the suburb were there.
Funny how those places stick with you. Andrew reckons he could still navigate half the back streets from muscle memory alone. When someone orders flowers to Eastwood through us now, there's a familiarity to it. We know the suburb has changed heaps, all those apartment blocks, the station upgrades, but the community feel is still there. Families who've been around for decades living alongside newer arrivals. It's a good mix.
When you order flowers to Eastwood, your order goes straight to one of our partner florists covering the area. Real florists with real shops who've been doing this for years.
They open up that morning, get your order through from our Armidale call centre, and start pulling together fresh blooms from what they've got in stock. They make your arrangement by hand. Wrap it properly. Then deliver it themselves or use their trusted courier who knows which apartment blocks have the dodgy intercoms and which ones don't.
Order before 2PM on a weekday and it gets there same day. No warehouse. No flowers sitting in a box overnight getting posted across the country. Just proper florists making proper flowers and getting them delivered fresh.
We've been doing it this way since 2009 when we convinced our first partner florist in Murwillumbah to give us a go. That network has grown to over 800 florists now across Australia.

If your Eastwood apartment has a small kitchen, and most of the older ones along the river do, your flowers probably end up on the bench next to the fruit bowl. Only spot with room. Anna, our qualified florist of fifteen years, has watched this kill bouquets hundreds of times.
"Bananas are the worst," she says. "They release ethylene gas as they ripen. It's a hormone, a chemical signal that tells nearby flowers to drop their petals and die. You can't see it, can't smell it. But put a bunch of roses next to ripening bananas and you'll lose 3 or 4 days of vase life. Avocados do it too. Stone fruit. Anything that ripens on the bench."
The fix takes 10 seconds. Move the flowers. Even a metre away from the fruit bowl makes a real difference. Dining table, coffee table, a windowsill that doesn't cop direct afternoon sun. Putney apartments on the western side get belted with late heat through the glass so keep them clear of that too.

Anna has another trick that costs 2 minutes and buys close to a week. "Strip every leaf that sits below the waterline," she says. "Every one. Submerged leaves rot. The bacteria multiply and physically clog the stem's xylem, the tiny tubes that draw water up. I've seen arrangements die in 4 days because nobody stripped the leaves. Same flowers, stripped properly, 12 days easy."
I remember when Anna first showed them this. "We'd been selling flowers for years before we hired a proper florist. Genuinely knew nothing about the science of keeping them alive. Zero. Anna walked into the office, maybe 2012 or 2013, looked at a bunch we had on the desk, pulled three leaves off below the water and said 'these are killing your flowers.' Changed how we think about what happens after the delivery van leaves."
One customer wrote: "Beautiful arrangement. Still going strong after 2 weeks! Will definitely order again." Anna reads reviews like that and works backwards to what the florist got right. "Two weeks means they nailed the cut angle, the water was clean, and the stems were properly stripped. None of that happens by accident."
Thinking of you flowers are a big one for Eastwood. No occasion needed. Just someone going through a rough patch, or a mate you haven't checked in on for a while, or family you can't visit as often as you'd like. A bunch of flowers showing up says you're thinking of them without making a big production of it.
Christmas flowers go off in Eastwood too. Big family community, lots of gatherings, people wanting to bring something nice to lunch at their parents' place. Reds and whites are popular but we do natives as well for something a bit different.
And hospital flowers for people recovering at the nearby hospitals. Cheerful colours, nothing too overpowering, something to brighten up a sterile room.
Most people spend around $85 to $90 but we've got bouquets starting from around $55 if you're watching the budget.
Order before 2PM weekdays for same day delivery. Our partner florists make everything fresh that morning.
Give us a call on 1300 360 469 if you'd rather chat to a real person. Anna's been with us 15 years and knows her stuff. All Australian staff in Armidale, no offshore call centres.
Still a Mum and Dad business. Still making decisions at the dinner table. Andrew still reckons he could find Mikey's old place in Eastwood if he had to, even after all these years.
