Shipping Disclaimer
Your fresh tropical flowers or lei flowers are picked fresh, washed and inspected. They are then carefully wrapped in ti leaves, florist wrap, newspaper, insulation (if needed) and sealed in a tropical flowers box. This is a long box specifically designed for shipping tropical flowers. The box has handling instructions on the outside to alert the courier as to the urgent and special care needed for the package.
We use FedEx to deliver your order direct from our farm to your doorstep. For late orders and busy days we may also use UPS which has a later pickup so long as we can verify the same delivery time.
Most items can be shipped as soon as the next business day after an order is placed. Many items can be shipped same day, if we receive your order early enough in the morning, and depending on our schedule.
You can order your gift or party supplies in advance. There is a place on our shopping cart form where you can tell us the exact day you would like the order to arrive. We will figure out the appropriate day to ship your package based upon the destination and the shipping method you have chosen.
Once your package has been shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with the tracking details for your shipment and the link to track the package as it makes it's journey to your door.
Shipments go out on weekdays only for delivery on weekdays only. FedEx will not deliver on Saturday without an extra charge or at all on Sunday's or Federal Holidays. FedEx can not deliver to a PO box address.

Most packages weigh about two to four pounds with packaging. This is about 3-4 leis, or one of our smaller flower assortments.

Because our flowers and leis are so hardy and will last a long time after they arrive, we recommend that you have them shipped to arrive a day in advance of the day you will need to use them.
With Our Aloha will not be held responsible for shipping delays due to weather, labor disputes, strikes, local service disruption, National service disruption, acts of war or acts of terrorism. We strongly advise that you schedule your shipment to arrive the day before you will need to use it, to ensure it is in your possession for your special event.
In the event that we are provided with an incorrect or incomplete delivery address, there is a $15.00 charge that will be billed to you after delivery has occurred. With Our Aloha will not be held responsible for delivery delays due to incomplete addresses provided by our customers.
Because our fresh flowers and leis are perishable, we can only insure the contents on packages which are signed for at the first time of attempted delivery. With Our Aloha will not be held responsible for the condition of any shipment that was left without a signature required for delivery. We will be held responsible for the condition of any package which FedEx has attempted a deolivery and there was no one available to sign for the package. In the case where no one signs for the package and a signature is required, the package will be returned to FedEx until someone goes to pick it up or makes arrangements for FedEx to redeliver.
If you have any questions about shipping, or would like assistance with your order, email us at
