We have regular requests for midnight deliveries of flowers from customers. Many people feel that the best time to deliver flowers is 12 midnight when the day has just started. However there are issues with midnight deliveries. Like one incident which happened yesterday. We got an order for midnight delivery of flowers and cake from a regular customer. When the delivery man reached, the recipient were unhappy and refused to open the door and receive flowers. They said " is this the time to make delivery". My staff had no choice but to return. Midnight delivery failed. We delivered new product (flowers and cake)next morning.The items being perishable can not be kept without cooling.
So if you are ordering flowers for midnight, please make sure that the recipient will be willing to take delivery at midnight. Also there should not be disturbance to neighbours. If the recipient is sharing apartment with other friends, midnight delivery should not be attempted unless there is no objection from others or they sleep late night (after 12).
