How to Use Cake and Flower Delivery to Russia

Before the recession, Russia had the most aggressive economy in the world. The economy was built on natural resources like huge energy like oil and gas reserves. As a result, numerous individuals became part of the super rich. During this point that erstwhile Soviet Union broke up more money, more celebrations, and more cakes and flowers have soured as more and more individuals choose to have flowers delivered across Russia. Whether the deliveries were going to the freezing Siberia, or to the balmy Black Sea coast, deliveries reached their destinations.

With the entry of the “international-delivery florists” into Russia, the chances of the wrong flowers being delivered to the wrong person at the wrong time has melted away with the cold war days; if it was at all possible for a common person to do so in the first place! Going to the homepages of Sendflowers.ru and Cityflora.com and the plethora of other organizations throw up a host of flower and cake (or other gifts) message options. Based on the occasion, budget, etc. your fragrant and /or appetizing missive can be on its way in seconds.

A few details:

Delivery charges to the main cities across Russia and other states / enclaves / countries of the former Soviet Union are mostly available on the homepage. However anything that is even remotely at a distance from these places can attract a hefty amount for doorstep delivery.

Many of the smaller places have poor connectivity and confirmation of delivery may be delayed for up to 7 - 10 days.

To avoid getting charged too early for an advance online order, shorten the cycle by placing the order a maximum of 2 - 3 days before the actual event.

Additional services, like verifying recipient’s address and / or phone details prior to the actual delivery involve extra costs.

Flowers and cakes are perishable items, for which reason the florists take the trouble of enquiring from the recipient their availability prior to actually taking the items for delivery. For this reason requests for “surprise” deliveries are not advisable as it may require repeat visits or special activity, thereby incurring further charges.

Delivery hours for most florists between 900 hours to 1900 hours, though this can be stretched either way if required.

Getting in touch with the local florist actually delivering to the recipient is usually difficult and most of the bigger organizations provide help through their customer service team.

Sending odd number flowers is quite common in Russia except in the case of sympathy or funeral messages. This rule is followed strictly whenever a single flower arrangement is being sent, less so in a mixed flower bouquet. The main holidays when flowers are exchanged in Russia are Valentine’s Day (February 14th), Women’s / Mother’s Day (March 8th) and of course Christmas (both Catholic and Orthodox) as well as the New Year.

Before you ship find out what type of flowers you need to send; roses keep denoting love, lilies sympathy and a multicolor arrangement to wish someone a speedy recovery. There are a number of international as well as local online as well as offline florists who will gladly provide their services at an appropriate price!
