We were wowed by the number of high praises Petal and Post Joburg has gotten. In fact, apart from a few (almost negligible) stories of orders that didn’t make it on time, clients have nothing but compliments for this florist.

Many hail Petal and Post as one of the quickest and most efficient same-day flower deliveries in Joburg, and we have to agree. Many have attested to orders being completed and delivered within an hour of ordering – or arriving exactly on the requested delivery time.

As a service that relies largely on timeliness due to the nature of the product, we think that this is where Petal and Post outshines its competitors. Customers have said that with the proper care, their blooms have lasted up to 3 weeks, which is a beautifully long time to enjoy their flowers.

Another plus for Petal and Post is its reasonable pricing. We love that there are customisation options that would suit different budgets.

The shop also offers a good range of special occasion gift sets, featuring complementing items that suit the intended audience. We think that this helps make ordering more efficient and meaningful, saving the customer time from having to put something together.

Finally, customers love the shop’s promptness and attention to detail. Petal and Post not only responds quickly to enquiries, but it is also quick to clarify and correct erroneous booking schedules.

From the weekly rotation of flower selections to the sense of urgency in deliveries, we think that Petal and Post is a guaranteed winner in any customer’s eyes.

Maintaining a strong family legacy of providing fresh flowers at reasonable prices since the 80s, Impala Centre no doubt knows what it’s doing. 

A quick look at their online shop shows an impressive range of flower arrangements for different needs and occasions. We love that they go beyond personal deliveries and even offer corporate items, as well as bridal arrangements.

Impala Flora also seems to be a master of gifting, as it extends its product range to related gifted items that would go well with flowers. From balloon arrangements and accessories to plant boxes and gift boxes, we reckon that there’s something special here for each type of person.

We love that flowers are freshly picked and cut on the same day, ensuring freshness that can be enjoyed by the recipient for a longer period of time. Booking a delivery online is also a breeze, as the website allows you to schedule deliveries to your preference and convenience.

The shop also has its own loyalty card, which we like. It works on a points system where every purchase earns you points you can redeem down the road, which is great for customers who love ordering flowers as gifting items.

Happy customers also share how Impala Flora staff go out of their way to make every delivery special. This means even enhancing the presentation depending on the occasion, even if it wasn’t requested by the customer.

There are a handful of criticisms on the life span of the flowers, although this may be chalked up to either an off day in procurement or improper maintenance. But by and large, Impala Flora is a must-try for any special occasion or event.

With so many customers praising the website interface of Sloane Florists, we think it’s safe to say that this florist has nailed the formula to an efficient ordering process. 

Whether local or foreigner, the feedback is consistent: the online shop is easy to navigate. And we agree – we love that there are filtering options for the search function, which enable you to choose the way you search (by occasion, by color, even by sentiment).

Sloane Florists also has a great range of flower arrangement options, even offering arrangements for funerals. We think that this is a thoughtful gesture, as it includes even occasions that are not necessarily positive but are a relevant venue for flower gifting.

Customers also love this shop for its reasonable prices. Depending on the buyer’s budget, there is even an option to throw in a partner gift, such as chocolate, a teddy bear, or balloons.

One thing we really like about Sloane Florists is the responsiveness of its staff. It is easy to get in touch with them for concerns, so you always feel like the thought and intention behind your orders genuinely matter to them.

While they don’t accommodate time-specific delivery requests, you can request a specific delivery day. While some occasions are time-sensitive, most customers are generally happy with the promptness of deliveries, with some recipients even getting the flowers during the first half of the day.

Same-day delivery is also available based on a daily cutoff time. We think this is a feature that many customers who have unexpected needs for flower delivery will appreciate.

What customers love most about Flower Boss is its focus on customisation. We like that each of their arrangements is customised according to the occasion, needs, and preferences of the customer.

We also appreciate that if a customer is clueless about styling and design, Flower Boss has its own curated inspiration board of signature arrangements. So there is always that option to go with any of the shop’s fioral “templates,” which will go over well with people who don’t necessarily want to get down to specifics.

The true clincher here is that prices remain accessible despite each arrangement being bespoke. In most industries, customisation comes with a higher price tag – so the fact that customers get to enjoy this with Flower Boss without breaking the bank makes for an unbeatable experience.

One solid way that Flower Boss is able to do this is to allow customers to dictate the budget, which we think is a thoughtful gesture. They can work with a minimal budget and still produce top-quality arrangements, featuring their unique selection of flowers and gifts.

The main thing that really puts it down is its lack of an online shop. Flower deliveries are arranged via phone, so this really makes the process longer and somewhat tedious.

However, we understand that this may be a necessity due to Flower Boss’s approach, which is to customise all orders. In this sense, a pre-fabricated website journey may limit the imagination of the customer as he or she will have to go with whatever is available online.

That being said, we think that Flower Boss is an excellent option for people who want to design a specific arrangement that would have extraordinary meaning for the recipient.

Fourways Flower Market has a similar focus on customisation, which we really like. It has a more limited selection than its counterparts, but truth be told, we can’t complain too much about it.

The best thing about their customisation process is found in their order form. Whether you order flower arrangements, hampers, or vase arrangements, you can input the recipient’s particular likes or dislikes so that they can be taken into consideration.

This is a feature we love because it is a true indicator that the resulting product will be unique to the customer ordering it. By going beyond adding extra gifting items (which they do have, by the way), Fourways Flower Market achieves something rare: making the gift personally and deeply meaningful to the recipient.

Not only does Fourways Flower Market cater to individual gifting requests, but it also does weekly vase rotation services for homes and businesses. We love that through this service, it becomes a regular part of the customer or brand’s life by refreshing arrangements.

A few minor downsides include a 24-hour lead time for deliveries, variable area-based delivery charges, and no time guarantees for deliveries. However, these shouldn’t be much of a deterrent for those who are able to book in advance and are adamant on tailor-fitting their orders.

Cuddlez is a flower shop that was established in 2018. Despite being relatively new to the scene, they continuously provide one of the best services and the most beautiful flower arrangements.

We are absolutely in love with their arrangements and we like the variety they have. You can have your arrangements in a vase, basket or bouquet. We think they’re beautiful either way!

What we like about their store is that they also offer other items like chocolates and balloons to add to the flower arrangements you order.

What’s nice about them is that they offer both online and in-store delivery services.

Speaking of delivery, they provide same-day delivery which we think is such an edge. We know how it’s like to suddenly want to send something to our loved ones, so we like this service that they offer.

What’s more is that they’re open every day of the week!

We’ve also asked around to know what customers think of Cuddlez and all of them only have great things to say. Customer service is excellent and they always have orders ready quickly. They truly have a fast and effective service!
