It will take a lot of work, but if you REALLY want to (Personally, I'd pay teleflora) you'll need a box big enough to hold the flowers, lots of packing material, floral foam, a plastic container, and plastic wrap. First, cut the foam to fit just inside the plastic container and then soak the foam in water for a couple hours, turning it over occasionally. When it's good and heavy, fit it into the plastic container, arrange your flowers in the foam, and cover any gap between the flowers and edge of the container with your plastic wrap. Fill the box partway with the packing peanuts and nestle the container securely in the material. Pack more peanuts around the flowers to protect them as best you can. Make sure the recipient opens the box ASAP after it arrives and give the poor flowers some light. Good luck!
Reply:You CAN do this. I work at a large wholesale nursery and we have live shipments sent to us on a regular basis from suppliers all over the country.


Now, the types of plants we get are bare-root plugs, but that's not to say you can't ship other horticultural goods.


You need to call a few different shipping services like UPS, FedEX and USPS and get specifics, but almost anything can be shipped for a price.





Good luck!
Reply:Eek. I wouldn't do that. I would contact a floral shop in your reciever's area and get them to deliver to their address.
Reply:That's impossible. All u can do now is by those fake cloth flowers.
Reply:You can do this. Just do not do it on a thur, Fri, or Sat. Just put the flowers in a long box, preferrably insulated, but sometimes not, and make sure they will not dry out. I reccommend wrapping them in plastic. (It will only be for 16 or so hours).


Call DHL, the largest shipping company in the world(Forbes, Feb 2006). Call 1-800-call-DHL, and schedule a pickup, to be delivered the next morning. I hope this helps.

I am not a big fan of the company, but they use post and petal, they ship DHL and are the best price. The flowers are great, always.
