Be careful when you are selecting which international florist you decide to go with with sending flowers aboard. It’s very common for florist to add additional charges to your order and you won’t even know it. I have notice that some overseas florist will ask you if you’ll like to add an extra gift or customized a note on the flowers you are planning to send. Most of the time they will not say they’ll charge you an additional fee but will tack it on later. Be sure to ask how much these additional items will cost if they recommend extra items to your order.
