How To Order Flowers At Costco
First of all, it’s important to know that you must be a Costco member in order to purchase flowers from Costco.com. Some online sources claim that non-members can order Costco flowers, but this is not true.
To order flowers from Costco online, follow these steps:
- Browse the floral selection on Costco.com
- When you find the flowers you’d like to order, click “add to cart” or “select options” and follow the prompts on the screen
- Select your delivery date when prompted
- Click “checkout” and follow the prompts on the screen
- Complete your payment as you normally would
Unfortunately, flowers cannot be ordered directly from individual Costco Warehouse locations as Costco stores do not have dedicated floral departments in store.
Flower Order Reservations
Costco recommends ordering flowers between seven and ten days in advance. However, you can theoretically receive your flowers in as quickly as 24 hours depending on when you order.
When you reserve your flower orders on Costco.com, you have the option of adding a special gift message. Each gift message is limited to 180 characters, and each order can only contain one message.
Flower Delivery Options
When you order your flower arrangements on Costco.com, you will be able to choose your delivery date and delivery address. The best thing about ordering flowers from Costco is that the cost of delivery is included in the price of your flowers. That’s right–no additional fees!
Keep in mind that when you order your flowers, Costco will deliver flowers that are not 100% open or “ripe.” This is intentional to avoid your flowers spoiling or wilting too quickly. That said, if you want your flowers to be fully open on the date of your occasion, consider having them delivered a few days in advance of when you need them. Just make sure you have an appropriate location to store them in the meantime (in water with cool shade).
Can You Return Flowers To Costco?
Another great reason to order flowers from Costco is that you can return them for a full refund if you aren’t satisfied for any reason.
