# International Shipping

International shipping is tricky, and makes it harder for us to assure your flowers will arrive to us in good condition.

If deciding to ship your bouquet to us from outside the U.S., it is necessary to guarantee to your shipping company that the package will arrive to us within 24-48 hours. If this is not possible, your flowers will most likely arrive completely dead.

Rather than shipping your flowers to us, we would actually recommend our repurchasing option! This option allows us to purchase flowers from our local wholesaler to recreate your bouquet & press them while they're fresh! You can read more about this option [here](/before-you-purchase/repurchasing-replicating-your-flowers.md).

**Additionally, we don't ship internationally at this time, and will only be able to send your finished product to an address within the U.S.**
