How Same Day Delivery Works
Same-day flower delivery is available on select arrangements within our local delivery area. Orders are prepared in-house by experienced florists who understand the timing and care needed for same-day service.

- Monday – Saturday: Orders must be placed by 11:00 AM (local time)
- Sunday: Same-day delivery is not available
Availability may vary depending on delivery volume, destination, and weather conditions.

Saturday & Holiday Delivery
Same-day delivery is available on Saturdays within the South Burlington area, with the same 11:00 AM cutoff time.
On major floral holidays such as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day delivery hours may be extended to help meet increased demand.
During these times, deliveries may begin earlier and continue later into the day.
Please note that Saturday delivery outside the immediate South Burlington area may be limited, as some partner florists do not operate extended weekend routes.
Minimum Order & Pricing
To qualify for delivery:
- The product subtotal must be at least $39.99 before tax and delivery fees
- Delivery fees are calculated and shown clearly at checkout
- Discounts apply only to qualifying orders and cannot be combined
Delivery Outside the South Burlington Area
If your recipient is outside our regular delivery zone, we can often arrange delivery by coordinating with a trusted local florist in that area.
For best results:
- Place same-day orders by 11:00 AM (Monday–Saturday) in the recipient’s time zone
- Sunday same-day delivery outside the local area is not guaranteed
Special Delivery Guidelines
Some delivery locations have additional rules that we follow closely:
Hospital deliveries
Certain hospitals do not allow latex balloons. When needed, we may substitute Mylar balloons to comply with facility policies.
School deliveries
Deliveries for students are left with the main office. Teacher deliveries are best scheduled for early morning to ensure arrival before 1:00 PM.
P.O. Boxes
Flowers cannot be delivered to P.O. Box or A.P.O. addresses.
If No One Is Home
If the recipient isn’t available at the time of delivery, our driver may:
- Leave the flowers with a neighbor
- Place them in a safe, sheltered location
- Leave a delivery notice with instructions for follow-up
Address Accuracy & Order Changes
Please double-check delivery details at checkout. Chappell’s Florist cannot be responsible for deliveries made to incorrect addresses provided by the customer.
Same-day orders are processed quickly and usually can’t be changed or canceled once design begins. If you need assistance, call 802-658-4733 as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to help.
In some cases, we may contact the recipient directly to confirm availability or clarify delivery details.
Doorstep Delivery & Weather Considerations
If you request flowers to be left at the door, responsibility transfers once delivery is completed. We strongly discourage unattended deliveries during extreme heat or cold, as temperature exposure can affect flower quality.
