Marks & Spencer are very good. I don't know if all companies do this but you can track the delivery

I was at a loss as to what to buy my daughter for her January birthday.
I sent her letterbox flowers from Bloom & Wild. She loved them and they lasted for ages. They also do house plants.

Here's a link

I wondered about that but there wasn't a florist anywhere near her town. I found the ordering system on the store I finally picked SO frustrating I'll never use them again. Then to crown it all the bank wanted my card verifying!
Amazon is so very easy to use I thought if they were of a decent standard I'd give them a 'try'.
I realise flowers by post are unreliable, and a lot depends on the weather and delivery treatment.
Its the thought that counts after all.

I don’t know about Amazon but I do have some advice re flowers.
If you use one of the “national” delivery services like inter flora they take a cut. So the local florist makes a bouquet for a lower price than you pay.
It’s much better to Google a local florist, buy directly, and get your full value.

I don't know about Amazon, but flowers by Haute are wonderful. The best I have ever received or sent.

Do Amazon do bouquets?
Are they any good?
