Home / Refunds

Refund policy,
when we pay back

Our refund policy in plain terms: the Fresh-for-5 promise, what counts as our mistake, what doesn't, and exactly how to claim, no arguing required.

Last reviewed October 2026 entrychoicewave@gmail.com

The promise first

Every bouquet leaves with a photo you've approved and a Fresh-for-5 promise: if the stems wilt within five days despite normal care, we replace or refund. Your call. That's the short version; the edge cases are below.

Quick answers

Fastest claim: photo of the flowers to entrychoicewave@gmail.com or ring +64 7 578 3264. Most claims close in a day.

01

What gets a refund or replacement

  • Stems wilting within 5 days despite reasonable care (fresh water, no heater blasts)
  • Bouquet arriving damaged in transit: photo it, we fix it
  • Delivery missing the agreed window on a timed or event-critical order
  • Order substantially different from what you approved in the bench photo
  • Us cancelling an order: always a full refund, immediately
How fast

Approved refunds go back the way you paid, inside 3 business days. Replacements go out on the next run.

02

What doesn't qualify

Fairness runs both ways. These are the honest exclusions:

  • Normal stem ageing after the five-day window
  • Flowers left in a hot car or without water (we'll help anyway, just not refund)
  • "I changed my mind" after the bouquet was made and approved
  • Delivery failed because the address details given were wrong. We still remake at reduced cost
  • Seasonal stem swaps that were flagged in the bench photo and approved
03

How to claim

Tell us quickly

Ring +64 7 578 3264 or email entrychoicewave@gmail.com, within the 5-day window for freshness claims.

Send a photo

A picture of the flowers as they arrived, or as they look now, speeds everything up.

Pick the fix

Replacement on the next run, or money back: genuinely your choice, not ours.

Done

Refunds process inside 3 business days. You'll get a confirmation either way.

Weddings, events and deposits

Deposits follow the cancellation schedule in our terms: refundable to 8 weeks out, partially after that. If we cancel on you (which has happened once, when a grower's entire crop failed. We sourced elsewhere and ate the difference), deposits return in full.
