Terms and Conditions

Poetry in Flowers Marketplace Pty Ltd – ABN 11 622 480 344

Given the recent developments surrounding the spread of COVID-19, the Poetry family wants to assure you that we are taking every step possible to ensure the health and safety of our customers and employees.

We are regularly sanitizing all work stations and shared spaces and being diligent with hand washing practices. We have implemented procedures for our drivers to avoid person-to-person contact when required, this includes flowers or hampers being left at the front door of home address deliveries and at reception desks with a text &/ or phone call being made to the recipient to let them know where they are left when the gift is for a get well, new baby or as requested. We also will continue to follow to recommendations given to us by hospitals, nursing homes and retirement villages etc to ensure safe deliveries.

Times like this remind us how thankful we are to be a part of such a vibrant and resilient community, and how truly grateful we are for each and every one of you.

We thank you for your business and we hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

The Poetry Team
