Flower delivery worldwide: a practical guide to sending abroad
If you are searching for florists worldwide delivery, Pyat Tsvetov (5 Flowers) delivers across Russia and abroad to 48 countries and more than 1,550 cities. To send internationally, check your destination on our Flower delivery abroad page, which is in Russian, then choose a bouquet from the relevant country or city page. International prices are displayed in rubles and already include delivery.
In our Saint Petersburg shops, customers arranging a gift from another country often need help with three decisions: which bouquet suits the relationship, how to describe the delivery address, and which date to select. Pyat Tsvetov has been serving customers since 2011 and has three own flower shops in Saint Petersburg. The useful starting point is the recipient’s destination and routine, followed by their flower preferences and the message you want the gift to carry.
Check the destination before choosing a bouquet
Worldwide delivery still means checking a specific destination: a country appearing in a delivery list does not tell you whether every town is covered. Our international destinations include the USA, United Kingdom, Poland, France, Spain, Egypt, Germany and Canada. Use the country and city listings on the abroad page to find the destination you need. Choose the bouquet from that destination’s page so that you are looking at the relevant selection and displayed price.
For an order abroad, choose your bouquet, enter the delivery address and card text, and pay online in rubles. The displayed international price is already converted to rubles and includes delivery. The 500 RUB city delivery charge applies to Russian cities, while the price for remote districts and suburbs is confirmed by the operator when confirming the order. Keep these two arrangements separate when comparing an international order with a gift going to Russia.
Choose flowers for the recipient and the occasion
Start with what the recipient enjoys: a favourite flower or familiar colour is a more useful guide than a rigid list of symbolic meanings. Rich red flowers can suggest romance, while a mixed palette may feel more suitable for a birthday or a friendly thank-you. These associations depend on the person, their culture and your relationship. For a colleague or someone you do not know closely, clear card wording helps establish the intended tone without asking the flowers to explain everything.
When sending flowers to Russia, an odd number of stems is the usual convention for a celebratory gift; an even number is traditionally associated with mourning. This matters especially when choosing a bouquet made from one type of flower with an obvious stem count. For a mixed arrangement, focus on the overall design and the occasion rather than trying to count every small flowering stem. You can explore the bouquets catalogue with the recipient’s preferred colours and the purpose of the gift in mind.
Bouquets we can deliver
Plan delivery around the recipient’s local day
When ordering from another country, work from the date and time at the delivery address. A birthday morning in Russia may fall on the previous evening where you are, so check both the calendar date and the time difference before submitting the order. For Russian cities, orders can be placed 1–30 days ahead. Advance planning is particularly useful when the recipient has a work schedule, travel plans or a celebration away from home.
In large Russian cities, express delivery is available 1–2 hours after the order is confirmed. Other Russian delivery options are an exact time with a tolerance of plus or minus 30 minutes, or the windows 09–12, 12–15, 15–18 and 18–21. In Saint Petersburg, delivery is available around the clock. These conditions apply to Russia; use the information for the chosen international destination when arranging a delivery abroad.
Give an address that makes the handover straightforward
Write the delivery address in a clear sequence: country, city, street, building and apartment or office number. Include the recipient’s name and a usable telephone number, with the country code where needed. If the building has several entrances, a gate or a reception desk, add concise access instructions. A short factual note such as “office entrance on the courtyard side” is more useful than a long description of nearby landmarks that could fit several buildings.
For delivery in Russia, the courier calls the recipient about 15 minutes before arrival, so choose a period when they can answer their phone. If the recipient is absent, we agree a second delivery that day or a handover to a neighbour or concierge with the sender’s consent. Think ahead about whether either alternative would suit the recipient, particularly at a workplace or apartment building. Our delivery instructions guide can help you prepare the details before placing the order.
Use the card to make the gift clear and personal
Delivery is anonymous by default: the courier does not name the sender. If you want the recipient to know who sent the flowers, include your name in the free card text rather than relying on a spoken explanation at the door. A simple structure works well: name the occasion, add one personal sentence and sign the message. For a gift across borders, a reference to a shared memory can feel warmer than a formal greeting copied from a quotation.
Consider where the flowers will arrive before writing an intimate message. At an office or reception desk, a discreet greeting may be more comfortable for the recipient than something very private. If you leave the card unsigned, remember that anonymity can also create uncertainty about whom to thank. Read the text once for meaning and once for spelling, especially when using a language or alphabet different from the one you use every day.
Complete checkout and help the bouquet last
Before paying, review the destination, delivery date, recipient’s contact details and card text together. Online checkout uses CloudPayments; check the payment options displayed there rather than assuming that every foreign card will be accepted. For Russian orders, the delivery and payment page explains the relevant arrangements, and questions can be directed to 8 (812) 507-67-05. A final review is especially useful when your device has automatically filled in your own address or telephone number.
Once the flowers arrive, a clean vase and fresh water give cut stems a good start. Remove leaves that would sit below the waterline, trim the stem ends with a clean, sharp tool and use flower food according to its instructions if it is available. Keep the bouquet away from radiators, direct sunlight and ripening fruit, and check the water regularly. The vase should support the stems without crowding them; if the bouquet is tightly wrapped, loosen or remove wrapping that prevents it from sitting properly in water.
