Comparison of Austrian flower delivery websites

Which is the best flower delivery website for Austria?

It is now possible to deliver flowers in Austria thanks to a large number of websites offering deliveries to the country's major cities. However, such a wealth of options can be overwhelming: several companies do not operate directly in Austria and simply transfer your order to an intermediary; other are actually located in the country. Most flower delivery websites send their flowers in a package by ordinary post, while others hand-deliver bouquets through a local florist.

Below you will find a selection of flower delivery companies delivering to Austria. The highlighted information includes the lowest available price on each website, the delivery fees and time, as well as various details regarding the delivery method. Our team will regularly update each company information in order to present you with current data.

Methodology

Here are the main criteria on which we based our evaluation and the methodology used to test the websites:

• Price of the flowers

  Price is obviously an important factor: in relation to size, the variety of flowers, their freshness. The best compromise between quality and a reasonable price is one of the main criteria for evaluating the websites. The price listed for each company corresponds to the cheapest bouquet in their catalogue.

• Shipping method

  The shipping method has a decisive impact on the quality of the flowers, and is therefore a crucial criterion for this test: is the bouquet sent by post or by a florist? Although hand-delivery by a florist is a clear advantage in many cases, some of the companies that send their bouquets by post know what they are doing and offer significant packaging quality and a constant supply of fresh flowers. However, quality is lacking in most cases. In addition, there is a lack of transparency on several websites which do not provide a clear indication of the method used to ship the flowers to their recipients.

• Delivery times

  Delivery time - and observance thereof - is crucial for ensuring a successful experience. A delay is simply unacceptable for such an emotional purchase as flowers. In addition, it is sometimes necessary to be able to deliver a bouquet very fast. Companies that send their flowers by post have to contend with postal delivery schedules, which does not enable them to offer same-day delivery. At best, the flowers can arrive the next day, provided that they are ordered by 5pm at the latest the previous day. Companies that use local florists, however, can easily offer same-day delivery of your bouquet, up to 12pm or later.

• Shipping costs

  Shipping costs are often a source of frustration for customers: they can be hidden, poorly explained, and can sometimes substantially increase the price of the bouquet. Overall, shipping by post incurs lower shipping costs than hand delivery by a local florist. The amount listed in our test corresponds to a delivery in Austria.

• Smart phone compatibility

  Any company serious about flower delivery has to make sure that users can browse their website and make a purchase using a mobile phone. The websites were tested for ease of use and navigation, in particular on mobile phones and tablets.

• Summary

  There are several reputable companies offering flower delivery to Austria. Depending on your needs, different factors will take precedence: are you on a budget, or do you need the flowers to arrive as quickly as possible? Do you need a custom bouquet, or is a standard product delivered by mail acceptable? The information provided above aims to help you make an informed decision.
