How to Send Flowers to Australia from Abroad
You can send flowers to Australia from abroad by ordering online at flowershopsaustralia.com, paying in USD by international card or PayPal, and letting a local florist hand-deliver to any address in Australia. Delivery is next day, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight Australia time. The steps are the same whether you live in the US, UK, Europe, Canada or anywhere else.
Can you send flowers to Australia from another country?
Yes. Orders are accepted from any country, so people in the US, the UK, Europe, China and elsewhere regularly order for family and friends in Australia. The service covers all of Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and the Gold Coast, plus 22 more city pages.
Fresh flowers and plants cannot simply be posted into Australia from overseas, so a local florist handles the final delivery. The catalog holds 152 bouquets, arrangements and plants. It does not include cakes, food hampers or other non-floral gifts, apart from the optional add-ons: a box of chocolates, a glass vase, a plush teddy bear, a greeting card, balloons and a wine bottle.

How long does delivery take and when should you order?
Delivery is next day across Australia, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight Australia time. Same day delivery is not offered, and nothing is delivered on Sundays or main public holidays. Australia is many hours ahead of the US, UK and Europe, so the cutoff falls earlier on your clock than you might expect. Check the time in Australia before you assume you have until midnight where you live.
The florist tries to meet a preferred time, but exact time slots are not guaranteed. For the big dates, the site recommends ordering at least 2 to 3 days ahead. These are the next three:
| Occasion | Date | Order by | Delivery on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas | Friday 25 December 2026 | Wednesday 23 December | Thursday 24 December |
| Valentine's Day | Sunday 14 February 2027 | Friday 12 February | Saturday 13 February |
| Mother's Day | Sunday 9 May 2027 | Friday 7 May | Saturday 8 May |
The order-by dates are the latest you can order. Christmas Day is a public holiday, so the florist cannot deliver on the 25th. Valentine's Day and Mother's Day both fall on a Sunday, so delivery moves to the Saturday before. Mother's Day in Australia is the second Sunday of May.
How much does it cost to send flowers to Australia?
Prices run from USD 95.99 to USD 262.99. A flat USD 14.95 delivery fee applies to every order, so the lowest total is USD 110.94 and the highest is USD 277.94. The delivery fee does not change with the size of the order. Optional add-ons cost extra.
You pay in USD by international card or PayPal. Your own bank may add a foreign transaction fee, so check that before you buy if you are on a tight budget.
What flowers suit Australia, and which should you avoid?
Seasons in Australia are reversed, and Christmas falls in summer, so bright, fresh arrangements suit the season well. If you want a local touch, golden wattle is the national floral emblem of Australia and makes a good talking point. A cheerful option from the catalog is the Lavender Honey Bloom.
Avoid white lilies and white chrysanthemums for birthdays and celebrations, since both are commonly used at funerals in Australia. If you are sending condolences, the sympathy arrangements are the place to look.
What details do you need from the recipient?
You need three things: the recipient's full name, a full delivery address and a phone number. The phone number lets the florist coordinate the delivery. Double-check the spelling of the name and include any unit or apartment number, because a missing detail can slow things down.
If the recipient is often out during the day, write a preferred time in the delivery instructions. Let them know a delivery is coming, so the flowers do not arrive unexpectedly.
To order, go to flowershopsaustralia.com, browse the full flower range, and place your order before midnight Australia time for next day delivery. For Christmas, Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, order a few days early so you have room if plans change.
