My order got cancelled. What happened?
We are sorry to hear that your order was canceled. We always expect to complete every order, but a few factors can sometimes get in the way.
Here are some possible reasons as to why your order was canceled as well as a couple of recommendations to prevent this in the future:
Your driver could not reach you upon arriving at your delivery address.
-
Your driver will often contact you via phone when they arrive at your location, so please ensure that your contact information is current and you are ready to receive both calls and texts during a delivery. For this reason, we require SMS enabled phones.
-
Your driver was unable to locate you at the delivery location.
-
Drivers can arrive surprisingly fast, so always be ready at the location you input before placing an order.
-
-
The delivery location you input was different than your actual location.
-
Always double check the delivery info before requesting an order as the driver cannot leave the product anywhere except in your hands.
-
-
Car troubles or other unforeseen hindrances have prevented the driver from completing your request.
-
Unfortunately, certain elements are out of our hands, and we have to cancel a delivery from time to time. If an order is canceled, you will not be charged, and you can simply place a new order.
-
-
Your order was placed too close to closing time.
State laws do not permit marijuana deliveries after 10:00 PM (PST). We try to shut off ordering so that no orders can be placed that will result in a delivery being made after 10:00 PM (or earlier based on your local laws). If you are able to complete an order that will result in the delivery being made after 10:00 PM, we may need to cancel it.
I don't see the product that I want on your menu.
Our menu is constantly evolving to offer only the best brands and products in California’s legal cannabis industry.
If you don’t see a product that you’re looking for, please feel free to send us an email.hello@flowermarket.delivery
Or give us a call at (844) 420-3030. and we’ll be happy to get that product on the menu for you.
In the meantime, customer support will be able to suggest a similar product that we do carry.
Do you have a delivery fee?
The minimum for Indio and Coachella is $60.
