Online Flowers to Devonport TAS

We stopped in Devonport for lunch during that infamous Tassie road trip. I was two months pregnant with Ivy, Andrew had decided a driving holiday through the windiest state in Australia was a brilliant idea, and I'd already lost count of how many times we'd pulled over so I could breathe through the nausea.

I don't remember what we ate. I mostly remember being grateful the road had stopped winding. We sat somewhere near the water, watched the Spirit of Tasmania sitting in the port, and I thought about how this unassuming town was the first thing thousands of people see when they arrive in Tassie by ferry. The gateway. Not flashy, just there, getting on with it.

Ivy's 14 now. Still has no idea she's the reason that trip was so eventful.

We've been sending flowers to Devonport for years through our partner florist network. And if you've landed on this page, you're probably wondering if you can actually trust an online florist to get it right. Fair question. Let me answer it.

What You're Probably Worried About

Ordering flowers online for someone in Tasmania comes with a particular kind of anxiety. You're spending decent money on something you'll never see. You're trusting a stranger to get it right. And if it goes wrong, you're the one who looks bad.

Here's what keeps people up at night:

"Will they look anything like the picture?" When a warehouse worker follows a recipe, you get something that technically matches the description. When a trained florist makes your order, you get something they're proud to put their name on. Our partner florists run real shops. They care what goes out the door.

"What if they don't arrive at all?" Most online florists post flowers to Tasmania from the mainland. Two days in transit minimum, sometimes three. We have actual florists in Devonport. Your flowers are made that morning, delivered that day.

"This is for something important. What if I mess it up?" Funeral? We call the funeral home directly to coordinate timing. Hospital? We need the ward and bed number to get as close as possible. Birthday surprise at work? Delivered before 5PM. We understand the stakes.

"What if something goes wrong and I can't reach anyone?" Our number is 1300 360 469. Real humans answer it, based in Armidale, six days a week. If something's not right, call us within 24 hours. We'll fix it. Replacement, refund, whatever makes sense.

"Is this company even legit?" We've been doing this since 2009. Over 3,000 verified customer reviews in the last 12 months alone. Won Feefo's Trusted Service Award in both 2024 and 2025. We're not going anywhere.

We Learned This Business Behind a Counter, Not a Screen

Most online florists started with a website and worked backwards. We started with a shop.

In 2006, Andrew and I bought a florist and gift shop in Kingscliff NSW. I was pregnant with Asha, we had zero flower experience, and our accountant told us we were making a mistake. We ignored him.

For three years we were the ones behind the counter. We dealt with the customer whose anniversary roses didn't match what she'd pictured. We learned that "it'll be fine" isn't good enough when someone's sending flowers for a funeral. We discovered that a quiet June day with $25 in the till teaches you more about running a business than any course ever could.

One thing stuck with me from those years. When something went wrong, the customer wasn't angry at "the company." They were angry at us. Siobhan and Andrew, standing right there. That changes how you think about service. You can't hide behind a policy when you're face to face with someone you've let down.

That's why we don't charge our partner florists membership fees. We know margins are thin. That's why we hired Anna, ex-florist, been with us 15 years. She talks to florists in a way Andrew and I never could. That's why we actually answer the phone. Because we remember what it felt like to be the ones people were calling.

Now we've got over 800 partner florists across Australia, Tasmania included. Still a Mum and Dad operation. Kids are 18 and 14. Business decisions happen at the dinner table, not a boardroom.

When Devonport Needs Flowers

The Bass Strait puts distance between Devonport and everyone on the mainland. You can't just pop over from Melbourne. That ferry crossing or flight adds hours and dollars. Family visits become events that need planning.

Thinking of you flowers exist for the gaps between those visits. Parents in Devonport, you're in Sydney or Brisbane or further. No occasion, no milestone, just a "we haven't forgotten about you" arriving at the door. A text takes two seconds. Flowers take thought. The person receiving them knows the difference.

Thank you flowers are underrated. Someone helped you out, went beyond what they needed to, did something that made your life easier. Words are fine. A delivery says you actually sat down and did something about it.

Get well orders come through regularly. Our arrangements sit in boxes that don't need vases, which matters when someone's recovering and has no energy for flower maintenance. For hospital deliveries, give us the ward, bed number, and recipient's mobile.

And Mother's Day. One of our biggest days for Tassie deliveries. Kids on the mainland who can't make the trip. Mum's in Devonport, you're stuck at work in another state. Flowers won't replace being there. But they're something tangible when a phone call feels like it's not enough.

What 3,000 Customers Said Last Year

We partnered with Feefo back in 2013. It's a review platform endorsed by Google where only verified customers can leave reviews. We can't delete the negative ones, can't get mates to write nice things. Completely independent.
