Terms and Conditions
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before proceeding. By placing an order on the Bunchesforafrica.com website or when ordering through our customer services team, you are agreeing to the below terms and conditions.
General
Bunchesforafrica.com is not an Internet service provider; however, to access the Bunchesforafrica.com website, you must have internet access and all the software and appropriate skills required for email and web usage.
Bunchesforafrica.com reserves the right to reject any order without giving reasons. In the event of rejection, we will refund or cancel any payments received via the payment method used to place the order.
All orders must be paid for in full before the order can be processed. Failure to pay by the specified cut-off time may result in the order being canceled.
Customer and Recipient Information
We will require valid contact information for you when you place your order so that we can communicate with you about your order. Please remember that we value your privacy and will never release, rent, or sell your private information.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you provide us with accurate recipient information on your order. We cannot be held responsible for a failed delivery if we do not receive the correct address and contact details for the recipient.
During the check-out process, you will need to provide us with the following information:
Your email address
We use this information to provide a better customer experience by sending you order confirmations and delivery confirmations. We may also need to contact you if there is a problem with your order. Please ensure that your email address is accurate.
Your full name
We will use this information when communicating with you.
Your telephone number (and mobile number where possible)
We use this information to contact you in the event of problems with the order such as payment failures or delivery issues.
Recipient’s full name, address, and contact numbers
We require this information to deliver the flowers you have ordered. The recipient’s address and contact numbers must be accurate. Failure to provide us with a valid delivery address and the correct recipient details may result in the order not being delivered and an additional delivery fee being charged for re-delivery to the correct address.
Please check all spelling carefully as we may not be able to amend spelling errors (especially at busy times).
Payment Options
All transactions on the Bunchesforafrica.com website will be processed in South African Rands (ZAR). We accept all Visa and Mastercard. EFT and Direct Deposit facilities. All payments must be received before orders can be processed. You may not make any speculative, false, or fraudulent purchases on the Bunchesforafrica.com website.
Credit Card Payments – You must be the owner of the credit card being used to make payment. If you are using somebody else’s credit card for payment, you must have full permission to use the card.
EFT Payments – Internet transfers or cash deposits must be made before the 12h00 cut-off time on the date of delivery. Failure to pay within the allocated time will result in the order not being processed and will delay the delivery date accordingly. If payment is not made within 48 hours of the order being placed, the entire order will be canceled.
Delivery Information
Same Day Delivery – Flower orders through Bunchesforafrica.com can be delivered on the same day, provided the order is placed and paid for before 11h00 on weekdays and 09h00 on Saturdays. We cannot guarantee a specific time but will do our very best to meet your requests. Normal delivery times for florists are between 08h00 and 17h00 on weekdays and 10h00 and 13h00 on Saturdays. There are no deliveries on Sundays or Public Holidays.
Next-Day Delivery – If you would like your order delivered the next day or in advance, we, again, cannot guarantee a specific delivery time but can guarantee the order will be delivered on the day you have selected (providing the recipient is there to accept delivery).
What happens if the Person I’m sending to isn’t there? – This happens occasionally and, when it does, our florists follow a fail-safe procedure. If there’s nobody home, they will leave a card to say they called, inviting the gift recipient to contact them and arrange a convenient time for delivery or collection. They may also leave the gift with a neighbor or colleague and will contact the recipient informing them of this arrangement.
Specific Delivery Times – Specific delivery times cannot be guaranteed. Deliveries are made between 08h00 and 17h00 Monday to Friday. (Some of our florists also deliver on Saturday mornings). If you would like to request a morning or afternoon delivery you may do so, but there will be an additional charge. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a specific morning or afternoon delivery service for couriered products.
Complications – If you are ordering flowers, hampers, and gifts for a special occasion or if there is a deadline for when the gift must be received, please ensure that we have a way of contacting you. Complications arise (for instance, you’re sending a gift to a friend in the hospital and they’ve been discharged) and the sooner we can get in touch with you to find an alternative solution the sooner the gift can be delivered successfully.
Gourmet & Gift Hampers and Other Products – These products will be delivered by courier. Orders need to be placed before 11h00 on weekdays and anytime on weekends. If an order is placed within the specified parameters, delivery of these will take between 1 and 3 working days, depending on the delivery location (outlying areas may take longer). There are NO deliveries of couriered products on Saturdays, Sundays, or Public Holidays. We can’t guarantee a specific delivery time but will make every effort to meet your requests. Normal delivery times for our couriers are weekdays between 08h00 and 17h00.
Alterations – If you have already sent your order and realize that you need to change something (perhaps an address or a delivery date), please contact our customer service department as quickly as possible. Have all the relevant details to hand, including the order number, recipient name, and address. If the order has not already been dispatched, we should be able to make any necessary changes.
Busy Periods – Most holidays are very active periods for the delivery of floral products (e.g. Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, etc.) and because of the volume of gifts being delivered during these times, we ask that you place your order with us as soon as possible, and at least several days in advance of the delivery date, to help us plan and ensure a successful delivery on the specified date.
Please note that we do not deliver flowers on Sundays or public holidays, and our hampers/couriered products can only be delivered on weekdays (public holidays not included).
Flower Availability and Substitutions
All floral products are subject to availability. Floral products pictured on the website may vary slightly in design or appearance from the delivered item. This is due to seasonal availability and design interpretation. However, careful and professional attention will be given to every order to ensure that it is as similar as possible to the product displayed on the website.
Due to stock availability, our florists reserve the right to substitute flowers, vases, products, and outer wrapping with an item of similar style and equivalent (or greater) value and quality. Where possible and if the substitution is significant, we will try to contact you to inform you of any substitutions, but we are not obligated to do so. If we are unable to contact you via the contact methods provided before the time that we make up your order, we will assume that you accept the substitution. If you wish to discuss any substitutions we have made, please contact our customer services team.
The same applies to our other products; in some cases, stock may not be available, and suitable substitutions may be made.
Damaged Flowers
Although we do our best to ensure that this does not happen, sometimes flowers may arrive at their destination slightly damaged. If the recipient receives damaged flowers, please contact us within 24 hours of the delivery time so that we can arrange for one of the following:
- A replacement order on the next available delivery date
- A full refund

Special Offers
Bunchesforafrica.com may run promotions and offer certain products at discounted prices from time to time. These offers are valid from the time that we introduce them to the end date of the offer only. Should you purchase a product in advance that is subsequently offered at a discounted rate over the delivery period of your purchase, the price of the product at the time of purchase shall ‘prevail’. We are unable to offer special offer discounts for purchases that have already been made.
As our special offers depend on the availability of products, we may change the terms of special offers or withdraw them altogether at any time and without prior notice.
We also reserve the right to offer different personalized special offers, vouchers, and promotions, and it will, therefore, only be possible for the customer in receipt of the special offer or voucher to redeem the discount.
