If this occurs, you may receive notification that your package has been dropped off at your local Post Office for collection. If re-delivery is required, please note that a re-delivery fee may apply.

While we aim to deliver the same quality of service we offer throughout the year, during this particularly busy time of year we cannot guarantee all orders placed within a week of 25th December be received before Christmas.

Deliveries will arrive at business addresses by 5.00pm and residential addresses by 7.00pm. Unfortunately, we cannot specify an exact time of day for delivery on our Courier services. We would hate to make you a promise only for a delayed Courier service to break it!
Ensuring that the full and correct street address is provided for delivery is your responsibility, including any business names, tower numbers and hospital wards, secret handshakes where applicable. If your bouquet is delivered to the wrong address due to incorrect or insufficient details being supplied, an additional delivery charge will apply to redirect/redeliver the gift and may also cause delay in delivery. And no one wants that, so please triple check before placing your order!
If you would like your gift to arrive the following day, make sure you place your order before 2PM AEST Monday - Friday. Your order will be shipped out the same day for estimated delivery on the next business day, unless the address is down a winding path at the end of an un-named road miles from the nearest milk bar (delivery to whimsical/non-city areas can take an extra day or two – contact us if you’re unsure).
Yes we do! Email customerservice@tastebuds.com.au to discuss your individual needs. Minimum order quantities apply.
Sure can! However delivery is limited to the Inner Suburbs of Melbourne with a deadline of 10.00am AEST Monday - Friday. and a fee of $19.95. Give us a call on 1300 733 968 to check.
And on weekends, we rest. Unless you're in our Melbourne Metro area.
We recommend checking that someone be available at the business or home address of your recipient to accept the delivery, mainly so they can feel the glee of receiving a gift fresh off the truck. If no one is home, our Courier will leave the parcel at the premises but only if they think it safe to do so. If it's 400 degrees, the address is not somewhere where a curious passer-by might swipe your goodies and there’s no over enthusiastic dog around, the gift may be taken back to the Courier depot and a calling card left at the premises for your recipient to arrange redelivery or pick up. This may incur a fee.
Unfortunately, we do not currently deliver overseas.
Any other questions contact us at customerservice@tastebuds.com.au or call us at 1300 733 968.
