More About Shipping Flowers from Hawaii

  • Shipping flowers from Hawaii requires us to show some special care when packing and preparing your order.  Your fresh Hawaiian tropical flowers or lei flowers are picked fresh, washed and inspected. They are then carefully wrapped in ti leaves, florist wrap, newspaper, insulation or cold pack (if needed) and sealed in a tropical flowers box. This is a long box specifically designed for shipping tropical flowers from Hawaii. The box has handling instructions on the outside to alert the courier as to the urgent and special care needed for the package. Our shipping prices include all handling, boxes and packing material.We use FedEx to deliver your order direct from our farms to your doorstep.Because our flowers and leis are so hardy and will last a long time after they arrive, we recommend that you have them shipped to arrive a day in advance of the day you will need to use them.Alii Hawaiian Tropical Flowers will not be held responsible for shipping delays due to weather, labor disputes, strikes, local service disruption, national service disruption, acts of war or acts of terrorism. We strongly advise that you schedule your shipment to arrive the day before you will need to use it, to ensure it is in your possession for your special event. If FedEx is less than 12 hours late for your event they will not allow a claim for flowers or leis.In the event that we are provided with an incorrect or incomplete delivery address, there is a $25.00 charge that must be collected before delivery is made.

    Alaska Shipments

    FedEx charges to Alaska are higher than other states.  For this reason we have to add a shipping surcharge to Alaska zip codes.  This $10.00 charge will be shown when you check out.  Also, note that Economy Shipping to Juneau is 3 days, not 2 as for other locations.  Ship times to native villages may also be a day longer.  Contact us with the zip code and we will check with FedEx and let you know.
