Terms & Conditions — Ramsbothams Florist
Last updated: August 2026
Thank you for choosing Ramsbothams Florist. By placing an order with us, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.
1. Flowers & Substitutions
Flowers are a natural product, so colours, sizes and varieties may vary from photographs.
All flowers and products are subject to availability. If a particular flower is unavailable, we may substitute it with a suitable alternative of equal or greater value, while keeping the overall style, colour and value of the arrangement as close as reasonably possible.
For wedding and funeral flowers, we will discuss significant substitutions with you where possible.
Some flowers and plants may be harmful if eaten. Please contact us if you have any concerns.
2. Prices & Payment
All prices are shown in pounds sterling and include VAT where applicable.
We accept major credit and debit cards, PayPal and bank transfer where available.
Your order is confirmed when you receive our order confirmation. An automated acknowledgement that your order has been received does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted.

5. Cancellation & Amendments
Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to cancel or amend an order.
For standard flower orders, we ask for at least 24 hours' notice before the requested delivery or collection date.
If you cancel an order, we may retain a reasonable amount to cover costs already incurred as a direct result of the cancellation. These may include:
- Payment-processing fees
- Flowers or materials already purchased specifically for the order
- Preparation and administration costs
- Delivery or other costs already incurred
We will not charge more than is reasonably necessary to cover our direct loss.
For funeral orders, additional reasonable costs may apply because flowers, materials, preparation and delivery may have been arranged specifically for the funeral.
For wedding orders, additional reasonable costs may apply because flowers, materials, planning, preparation, staffing and other arrangements may have been made specifically for the wedding.
Any cancellation charge will be explained clearly where applicable.
Cancellation must be confirmed by us in writing.
6. Flower Care
Every bouquet includes flower-care instructions and, where appropriate, flower food.
To help your flowers last as long as possible:
- Remove flowers from their packaging as soon as possible.
- Trim the stems and place them in a clean vase.
- Use fresh water and the flower food provided.
- Change the water regularly, normally every 1–2 days.
- Keep flowers away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
Warm & Hot Weather
Fresh flowers are perishable and their natural vase life varies between different flower varieties.
During warm or particularly hot weather, flowers may deteriorate more quickly.
Please keep flowers in a cool area and away from direct sunlight, radiators, heating, conservatories and other hot environments.
Failure to follow the flower-care instructions or exposure to excessive heat, direct sunlight or unsuitable conditions may significantly reduce flower life.
We cannot guarantee a specific number of days that flowers will remain fresh.
7. Complaints & Flower Quality
If you believe there is a problem with your flowers, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 2 working days of delivery or collection.
Please provide photographs where possible so that we can assess the flowers and investigate the issue.
We may consider the flower variety, natural vase life, time since delivery or collection, care provided and environmental conditions.
Where there is a genuine quality issue for which we are responsible, we will provide an appropriate remedy, which may include a replacement, refund or credit.
Your statutory rights are not affected.
8. Funeral & Wedding Flowers
Funeral and wedding flowers are bespoke orders and may require flowers and materials to be ordered in advance.
We will confirm the agreed design, colours, flowers and other requirements where applicable.
Seasonal availability may mean that a particular flower needs to be replaced with a suitable alternative. We will aim to maintain the agreed style, colour and overall appearance.
9. Delivery to Businesses & Other Premises
For deliveries to offices, hospitals, care homes, funeral directors and other premises, delivery to reception or an authorised person may be treated as successful delivery.
Customers are responsible for providing the correct delivery address and contact details.
10. Alcohol
Where alcohol is included in an order, the purchaser must be aged 18 or over.
We may request identification when delivering alcohol and may refuse delivery if suitable identification cannot be provided.
We do not deliver alcohol to hospitals, funeral directors, airports or ships.
11. Liability
We will take reasonable care when preparing and delivering your order.
We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including severe weather, traffic, road closures or other unforeseen events.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits your statutory rights or any liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
12. Privacy
We process your personal information in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Please see our Privacy Policy for further information.
13. Governing Law
These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
