Why Next Day Delivery on Gourmet Food & Fruit Baskets?

It's (relatively) easy when you want to deliver flowers, as the "raw materials" are sitting in a flower cooler, waiting for the designer to work his/his magic and construct an arrangement.

But gourmet & fruit basket delivery in Canada by Simon Says Roses is a whole different ball game.

We need time, and some things take more time than others.

The last thing we want to send is rotting fruit or stale chips, and we can't store the raw materials in our floral coolers.

Fruit (& especially apples) generate ethylene gas as they ripen.

Ethylene kills flowers.

So when we get an order for fruit or gourmet, we have to go shopping to ensure the freshest product possible. That takes time

We drive to the grocer or specialty market, and hand-pick each item that goes into the basket. That takes time.

We have to return to shop, wash & dry the fruit, and then arrange the items in the wicker basket, including cellophane wrapping and tying off with a bow. Again...more time.

Then the order is finally ready for delivery...but the driver has already gone with the last orders of the day.

Give us that one day lead time and we'll get it right, because it's our job to make YOU look good!
