Best Blooms is one of our best bets for flower delivery in Auckland. Established in 2006, this flower delivery company is known for its reliable services, free delivery around Auckland, and high customer ratings.
Aside from their stellar reputation, we love them because of their wide range of gorgeous flower arrangements you can choose from. They have different packages for various occasions at different price points that you can easily see on their website.
There are a lot of add-ons available, like stuffed toys and chocolates, so you can customize your order any way you want. Ordering online is a very easy and intuitive process, based on what we’ve seen.
They’re also very responsive on the phone, in our experience. Their founders are trained florists, and their staff of floral designers is talented and skilled at what they do.
So it’s safe to say they are more than capable of handling orders no matter how simple or intricate.
We also love how superb the customer service is – which makes sense because they were winners of Retailers Association Auckland TOP SHOP Awards for two consecutive years.
They’re also known members of the New Zealand Professional Florists Association, the N.Z. Retailers Association, Teleflora International Florist Network, and Petals Flower Delivery Service. So they really follow strict protocols regarding the quality of their services.
We like their reliable and personalized communication style with customers. Their staff is friendly and accommodating.
They update you regularly on the status of your delivery and even show you your arrangement before shipping it out. It’s the little things like these that really make them one of the best companies out there for us.
Pros
- Free delivery in Auckland
- Reliable communication and frequent updates
- Easy ordering process
- Wide range of options for arrangements and packages
- Same-day delivery available
Cons

- Can’t book for a specific delivery time
- Closed on Sundays
Customer Reviews
Outstanding service all round
I have ordered a few times now from Best Blooms. Their service is always efficient. Flowers are always so beautiful and exactly what I wanted and the cost is very reasonable. The thing I really love the most is that they send you photos of your order so you know exactly what has been sent. Outstanding service all round. Thank you. -Jadene W.
Online ordering has never been more easier to use
This florist is HANDS DOWN the best! Online ordering has never been more easier to use, the variety is endless and the value is amazing for its price. My team purchased some flowers for our boss and my god they were beautiful. The florist catered to our wants/needs and even sent a photo beforehand to show us her beautiful arrangement she done. Communication is 100% and we thank you from all of us for this amazing bouquet! -Hilary
2. Best of the Bunch Florist Wellington
| Same-day or next-day delivery: Yes, but only within Wellington | Payment options: Credit card, Paypal |
| Platforms for receiving orders: Website, phone | Special promotions and discounts: None as of the time of writing |
| Service areas: All around New Zealand | Live chat or customer support: No live chat but customer support is very responsive |
| Pickup option at physical location: Yes | Customization options for specific recipients or events: Yes |

| Expertise | 5/5 |
| Accessibility | 3.5/5 |
| Professionalism | 5/5 |
| Customer Satisfaction | 5/5 |
Another great contender is Best of the Bunch Florist Wellington. Established in 2004, they have built a strong reputation among locals as a flower delivery company because of their reliability.
We heard amazing things about them so we were eager to check them out – and we weren’t disappointed. They have commendable customer service and a very reasonable price point, so you’ll find something for every kind of budget.
We like that they have a wide range of flowers, gift baskets, helium balloons, chocolates, and even wine available. They also take special requests so you can customize your order.
We find their staff accommodating, warm, and very easy to talk to. We’re not the only ones who think so – many of their previous clients mention their positive customer experience.
Ordering on the website and via phone call is an easy and intuitive process. However, we think their website is outdated, making it a bit hard to look through your options.
Still the fact that they deliver New Zealand-wide is impressive. They offer both same-day and next-day contactless delivery.
They also have a physical boutique in Wellington that you can visit. From what we’ve seen, their staff is passionate about what they do and makes beautiful arrangements.
Overall, they’re a good option for flower deliveries and worthy of a spot on this list.
Pros
- Same-day and next-day delivery available
- Wide range of products and add-ons
- Very reasonable prices
- Superb customer service
Cons
- Outdated website
- Closed on weekends
Customer Reviews
I can heartily recommend your business
The basket of flowers you arranged for me was absolutely beautiful! Your floral designers are top of the class and your personnel are so helpful and pleasant to deal with. I can heartily recommend your business. -Sue S.
The recipient was wowed by the arrangement
The team from Best of the Bunch Florist were fantastic to deal with. I had done my order online (very simply and clear website). I hadn’t included some key details. They called and went the extra mile to help find out what they needed to get the flowers delivered to the right hospital, I was very grateful as I had a lot on my plate at the time. The flowers arrived and the recipient was wowed by the arrangement. I have just placed my 2nd order. This business is my go to florist in Wellington now! -C.P.
3. The Flower Delivery Company
| Same-day or next-day delivery: Yes, but only within Auckland | Payment options: Credit card (Visa, Mastercard only) |
| Platforms for receiving orders: Website, phone | Special promotions and discounts: Free box of chocolates with some packages |
| Service areas: Auckland | Live chat or customer support: No live chat but customer support is very responsive |
| Pickup option at physical location: No | Customization options for specific recipients or events: Yes |
| Delivery tracking and updates: Yes | Add-ons and other products: Yes |
| Option for specific delivery time: No | Known for: Free delivery and 7-day freshness guarantee |
| Expertise | 4/5 |
| Accessibility | 4/5 |
| Professionalism | 5/5 |
| Customer Satisfaction | 5/5 |
If you’re based in Auckland, The Flower Delivery Company is another great company to order flowers from. They’re well-known for being reliable and easy to work with – and after trying them ourselves, we can attest to this.
They’re younger than most shops on this list, having only opened in 2013. Still, we think they’re worth mentioning because of their proven track record.
We love that they create such beautiful arrangements that are stunning to look at. Their team has over 36 years of experience as floral designers, and it shows in their efficiency, skill, and sheer talent.
They’re so accommodating too. We really like what they do to ensure customer satisfaction, such as automatically sending a picture of the bouquet they made for quality control.
Plus, we love their 7-day freshness guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with the freshness of the flowers, they can replace them easily for you – free of charge.
Their delivery is also reliable, even offering same-day deliveries and reaching even the rural parts of Auckland.
They’re also not just a flower delivery company, but they also identify as a gift delivery company too. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to add-ons, gift baskets, candles, wine, chocolates, plants, and greeting cards.
One thing to consider here, however, is that they don’t have a physical store. So if you prefer to deliver your flowers yourself, for example, there’s not a lot of flexibility on that.
Online ordering is fairly easy. We just think their online forms for inquiries aren’t updated, so it might be best to call them if you have questions.
Pros
- 7-day freshness guarantee
- Reliable communication
- Updates with pictures
- Lots of products available
- Open daily
Cons
- No physical store
- Younger compared to other stores
Customer Reviews
The team’s service is outstanding
My go-to florist in Auckland. I am located in Australia, and my dear ones are in NZ, for the past year I have been ordering through them and let me tell you the team’s service is outstanding. The consistency and above expectations of these flowers is amazing. Thank you once again the flower delivery team, you guys did it again. Thank you. -H.W.
Love that they sent me a photo of the flowers before they went out
Excellent online service: shopping, updating. The photo of my order showed the beautiful flowers supplied by The Flower Delivery Company. Love that they sent me a photo of the flowers before they went out, such a simple step that really makes a difference. Attached is a photo of my ordered and prepared flowers from my screen. Perfect. -K.R.
4. Fox Road Flowers & Gift Boxes
| Same-day or next-day delivery: Yes | Payment options: Credit card, Paypal |
| Platforms for receiving orders: Website, phone | Special promotions and discounts: No |
| Service areas: Wellington (flowers), New Zealand-wide (Gifts) | Live chat or customer support: No live chat but customer support is responsive |
| Pickup option at physical location: Yes | Customization options for specific recipients or events: Yes |
| Delivery tracking and updates: Yes (by request) | Add-ons and other products: Yes |
| Option for specific delivery time: No | Known for: Great customer service and website |
| Expertise | 5/5 |
| Accessibility | 3/5 |
| Professionalism | 5/5 |
| Customer Satisfaction | 5/5 |
Another recommendation is Fox Road Flowers & Gift Boxes because of their great website and seamless order process. Aside from beautiful arrangements that can be simple or intricate, they also offer gift boxes.
Their gourmet gift boxes can be sent all over New Zealand, but flower deliveries can be done within Wellington only. So that’s something to consider, we think.
Both the flowers and the gift boxes are beautiful. They have a pretty good range too, so there are plenty of options.
We were also surprised that they have a lot of set packages for different budgets. So whether you’re hoping to get a good deal or you want something extravagant, they have something for you here.
They’re a popular go-to because ordering on their website is a breeze and they have proven and tested results. They also have commendable customer service – in fact, they have a perfect Google Reviews score.
Their team has over two decades of experience, so they know the industry pretty well. Their level of skill and superb customer service make them a good contender if you need a flower delivery company.
One thing I think they can work on is that you’ll have to email them to request photo proof of the bouquet or arrangement prior to sending it. It’s not an automatic thing.
Pros
- Wide range of options for every budget
- Great website
- Easy ordering process
- Commendable customer service
- Gourmet boxes can be sent New Zealand-wide
Cons
- Closed on weekends
- Sending of photo updates is not automatic
Customer Reviews
Best arrangement I’ve seen in ages and it is lasting beautifully too
Last week I received a floral arrangement from Fox Road and it is absolutely stunning! Best arrangement I’ve seen in ages and it is lasting beautifully too! Next time I need to order some flowers I know where I’ll be ordering from! Thank you so much! -Hannah Stanley
Highly recommend to anyone wanting great service and beautiful flowers
Absolutely brilliant! Bouquet was stunning and topped off with wine and chocolate gift pack. Ordered over the phone in the morning and was delivered early the same afternoon. Will be my go to florist from now on. Highly recommend to anyone wanting great service and beautiful flowers. Five stars don’t do Fox Road justice. -C.B.
5. Brooklyn Flowers
| Same-day or next-day delivery: Yes | Payment options: Credit card |
| Platforms for receiving orders: Website, phone | Special promotions and discounts: No |
| Service areas: Auckland only | Live chat or customer support: No live chat but customer support is responsive via phone |
| Pickup option at physical location: Yes | Customization options for specific recipients or events: Yes |
| Delivery tracking and updates: No, you’ll have to call them for an update | Add-ons and other products: Yes |
| Option for specific delivery time: No | Known for: Baby products, versatility, urgent flower delivery option |
| Expertise | 5/5 |
| Accessibility | 4/5 |
| Professionalism | 4/5 |
| Customer Satisfaction | 5/5 |
Another excellent Auckland-based flower delivery store is Brooklyn Flowers. With their wide range of arrangements, gift ideas, and even baby products available with just a few clicks on your phone or laptop, they’re a great option for any occasion.
They even have an urgent delivery option. Granted, that might cost you a bit more.
Still, that’s such a bonus for those who are in a pinch and need a gift idea ASAP. We find them dependable and versatile – they can handle small gift orders and large flower orders for events.
Aside from that, we like them because they have a lot of affordable options, they even have a section for items under $50. You can also easily customize your order because they have so many add-ons available.
That said, it’s also important to consider that they don’t offer free delivery unlike some of the stores on this list. Prices are manageable still, though – so we think you can get a good deal here.
Plus the owners are very passionate about what they do. So they put a lot of thought into their collections and how they run their business and it really shows.
We love how warm and friendly the staff is. Ordering from them is also an easy and fast process, based on experience.
One thing we think they can work on is that they don’t offer options for you to track your order. You will have to call their shop for an update.
Still, overall, we think they’re a great shop that deserves a spot on this list.
Pros
- Urgent flower delivery option available
- Affordable options available
- Great range of products (even baby clothes!)
- Easy ordering process
Cons
- No way to track your order from the courier, you have to call for an update
- No free deliveries
Customer Reviews
Awesome service, perfectly presented product
Had flowers delivered to my wife from Brooklyn Flowers for Valentines Day as I know she loves the place and buys from there a lot. Not only did they get her flowers sorted quickly and beautifully on what must be their biggest day of the year, but they managed this all during a cyclone! I can’t thank you all enough; awesome service, perfectly presented product and I can see why my wife is a regular. -C.P.
Friendly staff, great service, and fresh quality flowers
I’ve ordered from Brooklyn Flowers on a few occasions. They’ve always been amazing; friendly staff, great service and fresh quality flowers. I highly recommend this place if you are wanting to send your loved ones some beautiful flowers or just get them for yourself. Thanks again team. -W.P.
6. Flowers on the Hilltop
| Same-day or next-day delivery: Yes | Payment options: Credit card, Laybuy (financing) |
| Platforms for receiving orders: Website and phone | Special promotions and discounts: No |
| Service areas: New Zealand-wide and international | Live chat or customer support: Yes |
| Pickup option at physical location: Yes | Customization options for specific recipients or events: Yes |
| Delivery tracking and updates: No, you will have to call for an update | Add-ons and other products: Yes |

| Professionalism | 4/5 |
| Customer Satisfaction | 5/5 |
Another one of our staff’s favorite flower stores is Flowers on the Hilltop in West Auckland. Aside from the extensive range of options you can choose from, we also love how accessible they are.
For one, they have options for every budget and occasion. They even have a section where their products are arranged by price so you can easily see which ones can fit your budget.
We also like that unlike most of the shops in this list, they have a financing option to make it more within reach.
Aside from affordability, we also like that they deliver to a large service area – even accommodating national and international deliveries (they’re part of the Direct2florist International florist’s network!).
Delivery fees are on the expensive side, though, if we compare them to other shops. So that’s something to look into.
They’ve been in the industry for over 19 years and their extensive experience is apparent. Their skills, talents, and creativity in creating floral arrangements and gift boxes can’t be missed – we love how their arrangements range from classic to luxurious.
Aside from flowers, they have candles, essential oils, chocolates, stuffed toys, beauty products, and even house plants in case you want to customize your order. Their staff can accommodate special requests and they’re very easy to talk to.
One thing we think they need to improve on is their website. It’s a bit outdated, making it a bit hard to look through services.
Other than that, we think it’s a great shop and it’s no wonder it’s one of the leading stores in the area.
Pros
- International and national delivery available
- Good range of prices
- Nice add-ons
- Financing option available
Cons
- Delivery fees can be quite pricey
- Website is outdated
Customer Reviews

Book online with the confidence that they will deliver to the highest standard
Exceptional service I cannot recommend this team enough. Take the stress out of it; book online with the confidence that they will deliver to the highest standard. I had a last minute address change needed on a delivery and it was no stress. -B.G.
7. Flowers By Joanne
| Same-day or next-day delivery: Yes | Payment options: Credit card |
| Platforms for receiving orders: Website and phone | Special promotions and discounts: No |
| Service areas: New Zealand-wide and international | Live chat or customer support: No live chat but customer support is responsive via phone |
| Pickup option at physical location: Yes | Customization options for specific recipients or events: Yes |
| Delivery tracking and updates: No, you will have to call for an update | Add-ons and other products: Yes |

Flowers By Joanne has been around since 1976 – making them one of the oldest companies on this list. They have built a solid reputation in New Zealand as florists, and for a good reason.
We love that they’re widely-accessible, with the provision for nationwide and overseas deliveries. Aside from purely online orders, you can also drop by their physical store to pick up your order or shop there.
Aside from having extensive options for all kinds of occasions, whether happy or sad, they also have one of the largest collections of gift ideas. They have sweets, books, pamper kits, etc.
You can customize your order freely, but based on our experience, their curated gift sets are also good deals. We love how creative and skilled their team is at what they do.
Their floral arrangements are sights to behold. Aside from blooms of different colors, they also have dried flower arrangements.
Their prices are reasonable for the most part. But if you want something extravagant, they also have a lot of options.
The ordering process is quite easy but we wish they had a better website layout. It’s a bit hard to look through.
At the same time, we wish they had a better tracking system to know if the flowers or gifts have been delivered already. They do send an email but they don’t include a photo of the delivery.
Other than that, we think Flowers By Joanne is amazing and deserve to be among our top picks because of their reliability, extensive choices, and affordability.
Pros
- Nationwide and overseas deliveries are possible
- Plenty of options at various price points
- Creative staff with unique product ideas
- One of the oldest florists
Cons
- No decent tracking system for orders
- Website layout needs work
Customer Reviews
Always diligent, honest, and professional.
Undoubtedly the best florists in the area. They are popular with locals for good reason, always diligent, honest, and professional. And it’s so easy to order online and you get what you ask for with excellent service. Highly recommend. -Steve W.
I have been really impressed with the artistry of the floral arrangements
I’ve used Flowers by Joanne twice and on both occasions I have been really impressed with the artistry of the floral arrangements and generous sized, dense bouquets. Feedback from the receivers were both extremely positive and that flowers were so fresh they lasted 2 weeks in water. Delivery has been reliable and on time. Highly recommended florist. -Mary
8. From Paddock to Pantry
| Same-day or next-day delivery: Yes | Payment options: Credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay |
| Platforms for receiving orders: Website and phone | Special promotions and discounts: No |
| Service areas: Fruit baskets and gift boxes (Auckland), premium gift boxes, groceries, DF, GF, Vegan, and Keto items (New Zealand-wide) | Live chat or customer support: No live chat but customer support is responsive via phone |
| Pickup option at physical location: Yes | Customization options for specific recipients or events: Yes |

| Expertise | 3/5 |
| Accessibility | 5/5 |
| Professionalism | 4/5 |
| Customer Satisfaction | 5/5 |
From Paddock to Pantry is not your average shop. It has a wide range of products – from flowers, gift boxes, and even groceries for different kinds of needs.
If your recipient isn’t conventional and you’re looking for unique gift ideas or if you want a one-stop shop for all your delivery needs, we highly recommend this shop.
A quick note that since their focus isn’t solely on flowers, they don’t have a lot of options when it comes to kinds of blooms and arrangements.
There’s not a lot of wiggle room there – so if you have a pretty intricate bouquet in mind, the other shops on this list might be able to help you better.
Still, we find their arrangements classically beautiful. If the aesthetic you’re going for is rustic and chic, we think they’re one of the best bets.
A good bonus is that their flowers are wrapped in eco-friendly packaging, something that sets them apart, we think.
They’re one of our favorites, especially during the holidays, because there’s literally something for everyone on your shopping list – craft beer for your dad, chocolates for your mom, flowers for your sibling. The opportunities are endless.
We also like that they have an organized process. You can track your order easily, and deliveries are done in a timely manner.
Their team is also a hard-working and efficient bunch. It’s very easy to talk to them, from what we’ve seen.
Pros
- So many options for gift ideas
- Rustic chic arrangements wrapped in eco-friendly packaging
- Reliable delivery
- Easily-customizable gift baskets
- Easy tracking option
Cons
- Not a wide range of flower arrangements available
- Arrangements can be pricey
Customer Reviews

Not only was the gift delivered first thing the next morning, but it was also beautifully wrapped
Bought a Mother day present from her for my mum. Not only was the gift delivered first thing the next morning, but it was also beautifully wrapped, which I was not expecting. Super happy with both the product and the service! -P.M.C.

Although Madisons is more commonly known to be a furniture and interior design store, they do more than that. They also deliver fresh and beautiful flowers for different kinds of needs.
They have packaged bundles for great gift ideas and beautiful, intricately made bouquets that blew us away. One thing’s for sure – Madisons has an eye for beauty.
The flowers are surprisingly budget-friendly, and they have a lot of add-ons you can check out to customize your order. We think you can score a really good deal here.
That said, we think their service areas are limited, which is unfortunate! Good thing they also allow scheduled pickups.
Ordering from them is easy and fast. It’s also easy to put special notes and requests in your order because they’re accommodating and kind to customers.
We wish they had more options for flowers, though. They have a limited array or arrangements, which can be stifling, especially if you have a big order in mind.
Aside from flowers, they’re also superb at styling events, properties, and interiors. They also have a lot of unique furniture you can check out while you shop for flowers.
Overall, this shop gets our stamp of approval for its reliability, excellent arrangements, and wonderful customer service.
Pros
- Budget-friendly options
- Intricately designed bouquets
- Customizable orders
- Accommodating staff
- Easy ordering and pickup process
Cons
- Limited service areas
- More widely-known for other services
Customer Reviews
The various flower arrangements and bouquets were stunning
Madisons flowers are fantastic! My wife and I had Trish, the manager and owner of Madisons do flowers for our wedding in Havelock North. Trish was a dream to work with we felt confident we could trust her to get the job done! And when difficulties securing the ones we originally requested presents themselves, due to bad weather in the area and logistics issues, she worked with us to help us find similar alternatives. The various flower arrangements and bouquets were stunning! So glad we went with Madisons.The homeware store is also lovely and we picked up a tablecloth for our home. -T.S.
It has that vintage touch
Awesome experience today. Beautiful bouquet, awesome products it has that vintage touch.Friendly staff and very helpful to guide you through with their taste of selection. Highly recommended to others. L.E.
