Flower delivery to the Philippines: a practical guide

TurboFlora offers flower delivery to the Philippines in 13 cities, including Manila, Caloocan, Dasmariñas, General Trias, Imus, Kawit, Mandaluyong city and Muntinlupa. To order, choose a bouquet on the Philippines delivery page, enter the recipient’s address and your card message, and pay online in rubles; the displayed bouquet price already includes delivery.

Start by checking the recipient’s city, then choose flowers to suit the person and occasion. If you are sending from another country, take particular care with the local delivery date, address and contact number. A clear message and accurate details matter as much as the bouquet: they help you express the right sentiment and give us the information needed to discuss your order.

Check the city and prepare the delivery details

Our Philippines service covers 13 cities, so check the country page before choosing a bouquet. The cities named above are examples, rather than the complete list. If the address uses a district or neighbourhood name that you cannot match confidently to a listed city, ask a manager to clarify coverage before paying.

Write the address as the recipient normally uses it. Include the building or house number, street, unit or apartment where relevant, and the correct city. For a workplace, add the company name and any useful reception instructions. Keep the recipient’s name and contact number handy, and check every digit rather than copying an old address without reviewing it.

For help choosing a bouquet or agreeing the address, timing and card text, contact a manager on WhatsApp. You can also ask for a photo of the bouquet before delivery. Put the city, intended date and any access details into one clear message so the discussion begins with the information that matters.

Choose a bouquet that fits the recipient

Use the bouquets shown on the Philippines page as your starting point. Think first about what the recipient enjoys: a restrained colour palette, a bright mixed arrangement or a particular flower visible in the available selection. A familiar favourite usually makes a more personal choice than an elaborate bouquet selected only for its size.

Colour can help set the tone, but flower meanings are not a universal code. Red roses often suggest romance, while a mixed bouquet can feel less intimate for a colleague or friend. If you are unsure how a colour or flower will be understood, make the intention explicit in the card instead of expecting the bouquet to explain everything.

Consider where the flowers will go. Someone receiving them at work may need to carry them home, while a recipient with limited table space may appreciate a manageable bouquet. If they have strong fragrance sensitivities or flowers they prefer to avoid, mention those preferences while choosing and ask which available option best fits them.

Plan the date and write a useful card message

For a birthday, anniversary or family celebration, specify the intended delivery date in the recipient’s local calendar. When you are ordering from overseas, your evening may already be the following day in the Philippines. Write the date in words if there is any risk of confusion between day-first and month-first date formats.

Discuss the requested timing before making plans that depend on a particular arrival hour. Our published express delivery and time-window conditions concern Russian cities; they should not be used as a timetable for the Philippines. Give the manager any relevant constraints, such as the end of a working day, and ask what can be arranged for that address.

Keep the card focused on the recipient and the occasion. “Happy birthday, Ana. Wishing you a lovely day. With love, Mark” is clear and personal without needing a long explanation. For a professional gift, include your name or team name. For a sensitive occasion, a brief, sincere message is usually more considerate than an elaborate quotation.

Check names, spelling and the signature before submitting the text. If you want the recipient to know who sent the flowers, identify yourself in the message rather than assuming the bouquet will make it obvious. Avoid putting delivery instructions in the card field; keep access notes and timing requests separate from the words meant for the recipient.

Place your order and check payment details

Ordering abroad follows the same basic sequence as ordering for Russia: choose a bouquet on the relevant country or city page, enter the delivery address and card text, then pay online. For the Philippines, use the selection on its country page so you are choosing in the context of the correct destination.

International bouquet prices are already converted to rubles and include delivery. The 500 RUB city delivery charge applies to Russian cities, so do not add it when calculating a Philippines order. Before paying, review the selected bouquet, destination, recipient details and message together; a correctly chosen bouquet still needs a correctly entered address.

Online checkout uses CloudPayments. Check the payment options displayed there before relying on a particular card, because acceptance of every foreign card is not guaranteed. If your bank account uses another currency, consult your bank about conversion and any charges it may apply; the order itself is paid in rubles.

If you are comparing destinations for relatives in different countries, our Flower delivery abroad page lists all supported countries and cities. The page is in Russian and covers 53 countries and more than 1,630 cities. Use it to check a destination directly rather than assuming that coverage in one country extends to a neighbouring country or city.

Help the flowers last after arrival

Once the bouquet arrives, prepare a clean vase and fresh water. Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline, since submerged foliage can make the water dirty more quickly. If flower food is supplied, follow its directions and measure the water accordingly; adding extra powder does not replace regular vase care.

For a hand-tied bouquet intended for a vase, trim a small amount from the stem ends with a clean, sharp tool before placing it in water. Keep any binding that holds the arrangement together unless it prevents the stems from sitting properly. If the flowers arrive in a container with a water-holding base, check how that arrangement should be watered before taking it apart.

Choose a position away from direct sunlight, cooking heat and ripening fruit. Avoid placing the bouquet directly in the airflow from an air conditioner or fan. Check the water daily, replenish or change it as needed, and remove fading flowers and fallen leaves. Different flowers age at different rates, so judge each stem individually rather than expecting the whole bouquet to last for a fixed number of days.

Sending flowers to Russia as well as the Philippines

If your next gift is for someone in Russia, TurboFlora delivers flowers across the country. City delivery costs 500 RUB; for remote districts and suburbs, the operator confirms the price when confirming the order. Keep those terms separate from international orders, whose displayed prices already include delivery.

In large Russian cities, express delivery is available within 1–2 hours after the order is confirmed. Other options include an exact time with a tolerance of 30 minutes either side, windows of 09–12, 12–15, 15–18 or 18–21, and advance orders placed 1–30 days ahead. Review the delivery and payment information when planning a Russian delivery.

For deliveries in Russia, the courier calls the recipient about 15 minutes before arrival. If the recipient is absent, we agree a second delivery that day or, with the sender’s consent, hand the flowers to a neighbour or concierge. Delivery is anonymous by default: the courier does not name the sender, and a card with your text is free. Add your signature if you want the recipient to know the gift is from you.
