Delivery
Twine & Stem offers a same-day delivery service across Eastern Melbourne suburbs and Metro areas in Melbourne. The cost of delivery is dependent on the destination postcode and fees start from $15.00. This is subject to change and will be updated on our website as the changes occur. Our delivery hours are between 11 AM and 6 PM. Please note we are not able to guarantee delivery at a specific time of day. In the circumstance of the gift not being received by the recipient within 48hrs of the chosen dispatch date, Twine & Stem will launch a logistics investigation. We aim to provide a resolution within 24 hours of the investigation launch. Unfortunately, we cannot send to PO Boxes as part of our same-day delivery option.
Third-party courier service
Twine & Stem on occasion uses reputable third-party contract couriers to deliver gifts across Melbourne, including but not limited to Careful Couriers and Ranges Delivery. Due to the reliance on third-party courier services, Twine & Stem cannot be held responsible for delays during transit. Whilst every care is taken to ensure accurate and safe delivery, we cannot guarantee unforeseen circumstances, such as damage or delay that results in a gift not arriving at a certain time or place. Once a gift has been delivered to a concierge or front desk at the address specified we cannot be held responsible for the gift getting to the recipient. In regards to hospital deliveries, if the patient has been discharged the gift will be returned to Twine & Stem and a re-delivery fee will apply. In the unfortunate event of a delay or delivery issue, Twine & Stem will work with the customer to assist in resolving any issues that may be a result of a third-party failure.
Undeliverable items
A gift is considered as undeliverable if (i) the Recipient’s address is incomplete, incorrect, or cannot be located, (ii) there is no one at home to receive the gift and there is nowhere safe to leave the gift (iii) the delivery is refused by the recipient before opening the package.
All undeliverable gifts will either be (i) redirected to a local post office for collection by the intended recipient or (ii) returned to Twine & Stem where the customer will be liable for all charges and fees incurred in returning, storing, or disposing of an undeliverable gift. When a gift is redirected to a local post office a courier card will be left at the recipient’s address to inform them of their local collection point. Due to the perishable nature of some of our products (e.g. flowers), it is strongly advised that recipients collect their gift within 24 hours from the collection point indicated on the courier card. Twine & Stem cannot be held responsible for delays in the collection and pick-up of gifts and is not liable for the quality and condition of perishable goods, such as flowers, that have not been collected within a 24-hour time frame from the date and time of attempted delivery.
Units and apartment buildings
Couriers sometimes face problems with delivering goods to units and apartment buildings which can result in gifts arriving late, going missing, or being returned to Twine & Stem. If gifts are being delivered to an apartment or unit address the customer is responsible for ensuring that the recipient will be available on the day to receive the gift. If the recipient is not home and the courier cannot gain access to the building to leave the gift in a safe place the gift will be deemed ‘undeliverable’ and either be (i) redirected to a local post office for collection by the intended recipient or (ii) returned to Twine & Stem where the customer will be liable for all charges and fees incurred in returning, storing or disposing of an undeliverable gift.
In the event of an undeliverable gift being redirected to a local post office, a courier card will be left at the original delivery address to inform the recipient where to collect the gift. Twine & Stem is not responsible for gifts not collected by the recipient.
Incorrect and incomplete addresses
Please be very careful in providing us with correct, complete, and up-to-date address information. If you provide us with an incorrect or incomplete address and we deliver your order as per your instructions, we can accept no responsibility for the mistake. If we are unable to deliver to an incorrect or incomplete address and the order is returned to Twine & Stem, we can redeliver but the customer will incur an additional delivery charge as well as a product replacement fee for any perishable items, such as flowers, that need to be replenished.
Substitution and Seasonal Availability Disclaimer
Twine & Stem endeavors to fulfill all orders in compliance with product descriptions, however, flower orders may be subject to seasonal and product availability. Twine & Stem reserves the right to substitute flower varieties when necessary, however, we will always take utmost care to ensure the final product is similar in quality to the requested item. Substitutions and alterations to the style of a product will be of similar quality and value.
Days of operation
We do not operate on public holidays in Victoria, so products will not be dispatched on such days. If you order a product for public holidays we will deliver on the next working day
Warranties, refunds, and cancellations
Due to our quick turnaround times, we’re unable to offer a refund if incorrect delivery information is given to us. It’s the sender’s responsibility to make sure they provide us with detailed and accurate delivery instructions. If the wrong delivery address is given we can re-deliver, but this may be at an additional cost. For advance orders, cancellation must be made 24 hours in advance if necessary. Cancellations can be made by emailing [email protected] or by phone on 03 9036-36020. Every flower is different and some are more delicate than others. You should expect your flowers to last at least 5 days. If for any reason (excluding extreme spikes in temperature) they last less than 5 days, or you’re not happy with your order, please let us know immediately so we can do our best to put things right. If you are at all unsatisfied with our add-ons, please let us know within 48 hours so that we can discuss a refund or another delivery.
