Flowers delivered to empty house?

I sent flowers to my friend for her birthday and she's gone away for the weekend, they were from Moonpig and I haven't had an email about it, just wondering what happens in these situations if anyone knows please?

I've taken in flowers from various people for my neighbours a few times.
Can you track the package to see if they've tried to deliver?

Are they letterbox flowers? Moonpig usually send those flat boxes and they just shove them in.

I had some from Moonpig and they came through the letterbox.

I've had some come through the letter box.
I've had some hidden away (like a parcel delivery)

I've taken some in for a neighbour.

I'm not sure, they might be letterbox ones. I don't think the neighbours are too friendly but they might take a parcel in, hope she comes back before they die! 🤞

Ah, I've managed to track it and apparently it's being held at the depo...
thanks for the replies Flowers

What do you mean you don't know if they are letterbox ones? Didn't YOU order them??? Surely it will say- delivered through the letter box, comes in a vase, large handtied bouquet etc. Re-check what you ordered on their site and see what it says.

It just gave the name of the bunch but the box behind the picture does look like letterbox size.
And yes, I did order them, thanks, I thought she'd be in.

I've had letterbox flowers delivered while I was away before and they miraculously survived and perked up a few hours after going in water. Fingers crossed!

@ElizabethVonArnim thank you, that's good to hear. Fingers crossed 🤞 I feel like such an idiot for not remembering she was away and now I'm hoping she doesn't come home to rotten flowers. Blush
