Shipping Perishables: Tips for Shipping Flowers

Shipping flowers can be a tricky task. Flowers don’t always stay fresh for long, therefore it is extremely important to package and ship flowers with an experienced shipping company.

Thankfully, there are a few easy tips you can follow to help keep your flowers fresh, giving them the best possible chance of being delivered in good condition.

  • Choose a company with experience shipping perishables—Most companies don’t have the equipment or experience to ship perishables properly. You want to choose an experienced perishable shipping company…one that has coolers, freezers and offers pre-cooling services in their shipping facilities for climate-controlled handling.
  • Keep flowers cool prior to shipping—Make sure you keep your flowers out of direct sunlight before you get them ready for shipping. Keeping them cool now gives them the best chance of staying cool during shipping.
  • Packing for Flowers = —Flowers should be packed in properly ventilated card board boxes, duly packed in a way that each flower is able to breathe properly and kept at cold places (not ice cold) so that the flowers do no dehydrate.
