Hi, we would like to arrange flower delivery to a hotel in Romanshorn, Thurgau to arrive latest Sunday morning 8th January 2012, depending on price for delivery they could arrive friday 6th or saturday 7th, The hotel reception is very friendly and would take delivery and treat them with care until our required giving date of sunday 8th.

Does anyone know how we go about organising this buying /delivery as have never used Interflora or the like for within Switzerland. do not want to pay some rip off price for delivery as well as possible inferior quality flowers turning up, as has been the case in UK.

Dont know maybe also somewhere might also offer delivery of wine or chocolates.

It is a Dear friend's birthday and we cant be there, so that is what we would like to organise.

Choice of payment, Paypal, via Postfach or cash somewhere (Can reach a number of Banks in Davos to pay cash into). Only have a UK Credit card so not accepted much in Switzerland if at all.

If delivery is super expensive, then might choose the option of finding a friend to personal delivery via for us, but would prefer not to.

Apologies if such a post on this site before

Thanks in advance for any response

Could you ask the hotel to recommend a local florist?

Come to think of it, perhaps the hotel would even make the arrangements for you... can't hurt to ask. And the hotel should have no trouble with billing to a foreign credit card. (I've done this, albeit not with flowers. But a concierge at a better hotel is usually willing to take care of such things.)

FYI, if you wish to send just chocolates, Sprüngli delivers everywhere:

Thanks sometimes too close to the woods to see the trees. Will phone a local florist in Romanshorn, easy enough to get a phone number from the directory.

You are right the hotel would organise for us, but dont want to ask them this time, they been very kind in the past on numerous occasions.

Still interested going forward if any one knows something on line for other occasions to send flowers, prefer to use Paypal rather than credit card, it is lower cost.

Grueze
