Same Day Delivery - Dynnyrne Wide
We took the kids to Hobart last year. Hired a Tesla for the week to see what all the fuss was about. Living in Northern NSW, we grossly underestimated how cold it would be. Arrived and it was 2 degrees. Windy. That's a shock when you're not used to it.
Couldn't charge at our Airbnb either, so we were relying on public chargers which wasn't ideal. And the range wasn't what I expected. Could have been the cold. Could have been the two teenagers and their copious amounts of makeup weighing us down. Could have been we just didn't know what we were doing with a Tesla in the first place. Jury's still out.
Andrew stopped at Ciano's Espresso Bar for a coffee. Ivy got a matcha, of course. The place was packed with uni students, laptops open, textbooks everywhere. Dynnyrne's all hills, student rentals, old weatherboard houses converted into flats, narrow streets. Everyone's either going to uni or coming from it. Different vibe from the city proper.
We've been sending flowers to Dynnyrne for years through our partner florists in the area. Same day delivery, real florists, flowers made fresh that morning.

* Us in Hobart last year. When we say family owned and operated, we mean it. Andrew, Ivy, me, Asha - who I am still trying to convince to join us but she is hell bent on being a teacher like her grandmother was, which is still awesome.
You order flowers to Tasmania from one of the big online companies. Order goes to a warehouse in Melbourne or Sydney. Flowers get posted. Takes two, three days to get to Tassie. What if it's for a student who's already left for the holidays? What if it's a birthday and they arrive on Wednesday when the party was Monday? What if they're just sitting at a parcel locker nobody checks?
We have florists in Hobart. Same day. Made fresh that morning, delivered that afternoon. Not sitting in a mail van for days.

* I made this to represent what happens when you order flowers with Lily's Florist
Ordering flowers online for someone in Tasmania, you're spending decent money on something you'll never see. Trusting a stranger to get it right. If it goes wrong, you're the one who looks bad.
"Will they look anything like the picture?"
Warehouse worker following a recipe versus a trained florist making something they're proud to put their name on. Our partner florists run real shops in Hobart. They care what goes out the door.
"What if they don't arrive at all?"
We have actual florists in the Dynnyrne area. Your flowers get made that morning, delivered that day. Not posted from the mainland hoping for the best.
"This is for something important. What if I mess it up?"
Graduation ceremony at Sandy Bay campus? We coordinate timing when we can. Hospital delivery to Royal Hobart? We need ward and bed number. Student share house for a homesick kid? We've done hundreds. We get it.

* It's almost retro now. A 2006 pic of our flower shop in Kingscliff before going online. Not sure what I like more, the lime green internal paint or the Kodak sign, oh how things have changed.
Kingscliff in Northern NSW. Learned the hard way. Behind the counter, doing deliveries ourselves with a baby in the car. The phone kept ringing, people wanting flowers delivered all over Australia. We kept saying sorry, we can't help.
Eventually figured out we should probably say yes. Drove out to Murwillumbah, nervously asked a florist there if she'd partner with us. She said yes. That was our first partner. Today that network has grown to over 800 florists including Tasmania.
Still Mum and Dad. Decisions get made at the dinner table or while driving the kids to netball. Asha's 18 now, Ivy's 14 and still drinking matcha everywhere we go. No boardrooms, no offshore call centre. Just us, building relationships with florists who care about their work.
Graduation Day
This one gets me every time. Parents on the mainland watching the livestream of their kid walking across the stage at Sandy Bay campus, can't be there because of work or distance or money. They order flowers to the student share house. Surprise for when the kid gets home after the ceremony, still in the gown, probably a bit emotional already.
We coordinate with ceremony times when we can. A lot of our Dynnyrne deliveries go to those old weatherboard rentals, four students crammed in, questionable heating. The kid opens the door, sees flowers, calls their mum. Sometimes that's all it takes. Four years of study, long way from home, someone remembered.

Hospital Delivery
Royal Hobart isn't far from Dynnyrne. We need the ward name, bed number, recipient's mobile if possible. If they're in ICU, flowers get left at the nurses station until they're moved to a regular room.
Homesick
Tough week, exam stress, missing family. Student accommodation, we've done hundreds of these. Sometimes

* Our Feefo service award for 2025
We partnered with Feefo in 2013. Review platform endorsed by Google. Only verified customers can leave reviews. We can't delete the negative ones, can't manufacture praise. Completely independent.
Last 12 months: over 3,000 reviews. That's not a typo. Feefo Trusted Service Award in both 2024 and 2025. You need 50 reviews at 4 stars or above to qualify. We passed that 60 times over.
Flowers are personal. What one person sees as romantic and lush, another might see as over the top. Putting ourselves out there with zero control over what people would say? That took some guts. But it keeps us honest.

Same day delivery Monday to Saturday. Order by 2PM weekdays, 10AM Saturday. Business addresses usually by 5PM, residential by 7PM. Can't guarantee exact times but we coordinate when it matters.
Student share houses need the correct mobile number. Nobody home? We'll leave flowers in a safe spot, out of direct sun and view from the street. Can't do that? We'll call the recipient and work out an alternative. Can't reach them? Flowers may need to come back to the shop.
Delivery fee is $16.95. We subsidize most deliveries beyond that, though some remote locations might need extra discussion.
We've got 250+ products on the site. Who has time to look at all that? Pick Florist's Choice, pick a price, let the florist decide based on what's fresh. You don't have to decide.
We've spent 17 years building this network. Same day delivery to Dynnyrne. Real florists making your order fresh that morning. Not posted from Melbourne. Order online or call 1300 360 469. We actually answer.
