CANCELLATION POLICY
Customer’s Cancellation
- For same-day deliveries or orders placed 1 day in advance, orders may not be cancelled once the flowers are arranged.
- For orders placed in advance, you may cancel only at least 2 days before the delivery date.
- After cancellation, please expect the full refund within 7-14 working days, excluding transaction fees charged by payment gateways.
Citiflora’s Cancellation
- Citiflora reserves the right to decline, postpone, or change (with prior notice to the customer) orders in unsafe areas, especially at night. The customer shall be notified to change the delivery time or location.
REFUND POLICY
- Please note that the first petals of the flowers are guard petals. At times, they may look charred or discolored. They can easily be removed to reveal the fresh blooms underneath. In this case, your complaint will not be considered for refund or exchange.
- To be eligible for refund in case of delivery or product issues due to our fault, the customer should communicate the complaint to us within 24 hours from receipt of order, and the items should be in the same condition as they were when delivered. Refund is also subject to our review and investigation. Please observe our policy below on Customer Complaints.
- Kindly note that transaction fees charged by Payment Gateways (e.g. PayPal, iPay88) are non-refundable.
- In case payment has been made and the selected products are unavailable or the delivery location is not serviceable, refund shall be made. Please expect the full refund within 7-14 working days, excluding transaction fees charged by payment gateways.
- Please note that some banks can take up to 15-30 days, or until your next billing cycle to process your refund. We have no influence over these timescales.
- No refund for delays or non-delivery due to inaccurate information provided by the customer. Please see our policy below on Redelivery.
PRODUCTS
Customer Message
- The customer is responsible for whatever they will indicate in their message card or ribbon messages. So please double check your grammar or spelling, as we will strictly follow what you provide on your order details.
Prices
- Prices are subject to change without prior notice.
- For customers outside the Philippines, please note that the prices are in Philippine peso.
Product Availability
- All products (including wrappers, fillers, etc.) are subject to availability.
- Since weather conditions and regional areas affect flower supply, some types of flowers or colors in an arrangement may not always be readily available. Please see our Substitution Policy below.
- Balloons, wines, food add-ons, tulips, and sunflowers are available for delivery only in Metro Manila areas. Please see our Substitution Policy below.
Substitution Policy
- If a customer has already paid for an unavailable item (flowers and add-ons, excluding fillers and other materials), they will be notified and offered a substitute item of the same price.
- If the substitute chosen by the customer is of greater price, an additional payment shall be made.
- If we do not receive a reply from the customer regarding substitution at least 3 hours before the scheduled delivery time, the unavailable item is automatically deemed substituted with the item of our choice which is of the same value.
- Items already received by the customer cannot be returned or exchanged, except for non-flower items that are defective. In your request, please attach a proof of purchase and several photos of the defect immediately taken upon receipt. Please see our policy below on Customer Complaints.
Color
- Customers shall prepare a second choice for the color of flowers in case of unavailability of your first choice.
- The color of the flowers and materials may slightly vary from those posted on our website due to photographic lighting and monitor settings.
Design
- Floral arrangements cannot be exactly replicated as these are made by hand.
- The type of wrapping material and container are subject to change with or without prior notice depending on availability.
- Bouquet design and size may not appear identical to the desired item as it may be adjusted to fit inside the box.
Flowers, Lifespan, and Quality
- Please note that the first petals of the flowers are guard petals. At times, they may look charred or discolored. They can easily be removed to reveal the fresh blooms underneath.
- Lilies and some flowers may be delivered in bud form depending on available supply. This is not a quality issue, as blooms are often shipped this way to ensure freshness. With proper care and the right environment, the flowers will naturally open and bloom in time.
- Please expect flowers to last for only 1 to 5 days, depending on weather conditions, room temperature, and proper care. Flowers that require cooler temperatures, such as roses, tulips, and lilies, may be more sensitive to heat and can have a shorter lifespan. Please also note that despite careful handling, flowers may be affected during transit due to the warm climate in the Philippines.
- Tulips, roses, lilies, and other flowers that are already opened or fully bloomed are in a more mature stage and may have a shorter lifespan than those in the bud stage. By ordering arrangements with opened blooms, customers acknowledge and accept the possibility of a shorter (vase) life.
- Our products are perishable, and any delays may affect the product.
Boxed Orders
- Bouquet design and size may not appear identical to the desired item as it may be adjusted to fit inside the box.
- Safety boxes help protect the item(s) during delivery and may be added to your order for an additional fee of ₱150. However, our team reserves the right to box the item(s) when necessary, even if the option is declined, due to heat or other factors that may affect the item(s) during delivery. This is especially important during peak seasons such as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Standing Bouquets ("SB" coded products)
- This product arrives as a standing bouquet, designed with shorter stems and secured in sturdy floral foam within a bouquet molder. It is instantly displayable and carefully crafted to withstand handling and transport, ensuring stability, freshness, and overall quality upon delivery or pick-up. With simple, regular watering, the arrangement stays vibrant and fresh, making it a hassle-free gift that arrives in perfect condition and remains beautifully presentable.
