About CheapFlowers.co.nz

Our Mission

CheapFlowers.co.nz exists to help New Zealanders find beautiful, fresh flowers at fair prices. We believe everyone should be able to afford to send flowers for special occasions, celebrations, and just because moments - without overpaying or sacrificing quality.

The flower industry can be opaque, with prices varying dramatically between florists for similar products. By comparing prices across New Zealand's major flower delivery services, we bring transparency to the market and help Kiwis make informed decisions about where to buy their flowers.

Why We Started CheapFlowers.co.nz

The idea for CheapFlowers.co.nz came from a common frustration: trying to send flowers for Mother's Day, we discovered that identical bouquets cost anywhere from $45 to $90 depending on which florist we chose. The price differences weren't related to quality - they were simply different business models and pricing strategies.

We realized that most New Zealanders don't have time to compare prices across multiple florist websites. They often choose the first florist they find, potentially overpaying by 30-60% compared to alternative options offering identical quality.

CheapFlowers.co.nz was born to solve this problem. We created a simple comparison service that shows prices, delivery fees, and key features from New Zealand's major florists side-by-side, making it easy to find the best value in minutes rather than hours.

What We Do

Compare Prices from Top NZ Florists

We track pricing and features from New Zealand's major flower delivery services including Interflora NZ, Bloomex NZ, Petals Network, Teleflora NZ, The Wild Rose, Direct2Florist NZ, and more. Our comparison tables show starting prices, delivery fees, same-day availability, and ratings in one easy view.

Provide Expert Buying Guides

Beyond price comparison, we create comprehensive guides on buying flowers in New Zealand. Our content covers topics like finding cheap flowers, understanding same-day delivery, choosing seasonal blooms, caring for arrangements, and navigating New Zealand's native flower options.

These guides are researched and written to genuinely help New Zealanders become smarter flower buyers, saving money while ensuring they get beautiful, fresh flowers every time.

Showcase Local Florists by City

We highlight flower delivery options in New Zealand's major cities - Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga, Dunedin, and beyond. Each city guide shows which national florists service the area, local specialists, and city-specific delivery information.

Help You Shop by Occasion

Different occasions call for different flowers. We provide occasion-specific guides for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, sympathy, weddings, and more. These guides recommend appropriate flowers, typical price ranges, and timing considerations for each occasion.

Our Values

Transparency

We believe in complete transparency. We clearly disclose that we earn commission when you purchase through our affiliate links. This doesn't affect the prices you pay (florists pay the commission, not you), and we only recommend florists we genuinely believe offer good value and service.

Our comparison tables show real prices, actual delivery fees, and honest assessments. We never artificially inflate ratings or hide cheaper options to promote higher-commission florists.

Independence

While we have affiliate relationships with florists, we maintain editorial independence. We compare all major NZ florists regardless of whether they participate in affiliate programs. Our rankings and recommendations are based on actual value, customer reviews, and service quality - not commission rates.

Customer-First

Your satisfaction matters most. We'd rather you find cheap flowers and save money (even if it means lower commissions for us) than push you toward expensive options. Our success depends on being genuinely helpful, so we prioritize your best interests in all our content and recommendations.

Quality Standards

"Cheap" doesn't mean low quality. We only promote florists with:

• Established track records in New Zealand (minimum 2 years operating)
• Positive customer reviews (4.0+ ratings from verified customers)
• Reliable delivery networks covering major NZ cities
• Fresh flower guarantees or satisfaction policies
• Transparent pricing with no hidden fees

We've deliberately excluded fly-by-night operations, questionable overseas services, and florists with consistently poor reviews, even when they offer lower prices.

How We Make Money

CheapFlowers.co.nz operates on an affiliate commission model. When you click through to a florist from our site and make a purchase, we receive a small commission from the florist (typically 5-10% of the sale). This doesn't increase the price you pay - it's a standard marketing cost that florists build into their business models.

This model allows us to provide our comparison service completely free to New Zealand consumers while maintaining the site through florist partnerships. We believe it aligns our interests with yours: we only succeed if we help you find good flower deals, leading to satisfied customers who return when they need flowers again.

Our Commitment to New Zealand

CheapFlowers.co.nz is built specifically for New Zealanders, by New Zealanders. We focus exclusively on florists operating in New Zealand with local or imported flowers available for NZ delivery.

We celebrate New Zealand's unique flora through dedicated guides on native flowers like pohutukawa, kowhai, and manuka. We understand NZ occasions (Waitangi Day, ANZAC Day, NZ-specific anniversary customs) and provide relevant content for Kiwi celebrations.

Our city guides cover the whole country - from Northland to Southland, from urban centers to regional towns. We're committed to helping all New Zealanders find affordable flowers regardless of location.

Looking Forward

We're constantly working to improve CheapFlowers.co.nz. Our roadmap includes:

• Expanding our florist comparison database to include more regional specialists
• Adding user reviews and ratings for NZ florists
• Creating seasonal flower guides highlighting what's in bloom throughout NZ
• Developing tools to help plan wedding flowers within budget
• Building resources for businesses needing regular corporate flower deliveries

We're here for the long term, committed to being New Zealand's most trusted resource for finding affordable, beautiful flowers.
