Sending flowers to Australia, any tips?

Need to send sime to a relative in Melbourne, whats the best/cheapest way to do please

If they’re in the Eastern suburbs google Flower Pot Florist, North Ringwood, they are absolutely fabulous and deliver.

You’re not actually sending flowers, you’re arranging for a florist near them to deliver some flowers.
just Google flower delivery in the town they live. Does Interflora still exist?

Use Moonpig Australia. I use it to send cards. They also do flowers/other gifts.

Interflora is the solution, i use them often for flowers in Australia

Interflora is like Amazon for flowers. You order and they engage a local florist to make it and deliver.

Alternatively, google florists near them and order. They’ll almost certainly have a website you can order through or if you want something specific, email them and they can give you a quote and online payment options.

Find a florist local to the recipient, and use them to deliver.

I used sendflowers.teleflora.com to send some flowers to Sydney last year, and it was really smooth. The delivery was on time, and the blooms looked fresh in the photo my cousin sent me. They also had same-day delivery, which was handy since I ordered last-minute.

Just find a local florist on Facebook and contact them via messenger - they will take payment and it’ll be much cheaper than using interflora

If you’re sending flowers from overseas, I’d recommend ordering from a florist based in Australia rather than sending flowers internationally yourself. It’s usually simpler, avoids international shipping, and the florist can arrange local delivery.
For Melbourne, just check the delivery area, delivery fee and whether they offer same-day/next-day delivery before ordering. I’ve used the same approach for Sydney orders through a local florist Iris Florist and it’s generally much easier than trying to ship flowers internationally.
Hope that helps!

I use Ann's Flowers, they are local and deliver to melbourne, the flowers are lovely and fresh

Local florist much cheaper than interflora.
