International flower shipping: sending flowers to Russia and abroad

If you are searching for international flower shipping, you can order flowers for delivery in Russia or to an overseas destination through Turboflora. We deliver across Russia and abroad in 39 countries, covering more than 1080 cities. The ordering details depend on the destination, so check the relevant country or city page before choosing your bouquet.

For a gift sent from another country, the useful questions are practical: is the recipient’s city covered, what address details will the courier need, and how should you arrange the timing? Start with the destination and the recipient’s routine, then choose flowers that suit your relationship and occasion. This guide explains those decisions, including the different delivery and payment details for Russia and destinations abroad.

Check the destination before choosing the flowers

For delivery in Russia, begin with the recipient’s city and browse the bouquets catalogue. Keep the complete address ready, including the street, building and flat or office number where applicable. A city name alone is not enough to plan the handover, especially if the recipient lives outside the centre or in a nearby settlement.

For a destination outside Russia, open Flower delivery abroad, which is in Russian, and find the country and city. Our overseas coverage includes the USA, United Kingdom, Spain, Canada, Vietnam, Turkey, France and Kazakhstan. The full destination list is on that page; use it to check a particular location instead of assuming that every city in a listed country is covered.

Choose the bouquet on the relevant country or city page when ordering abroad. This also lets you see the price for that destination in rubles, with delivery already included. For Russian cities, delivery costs 500 RUB; for remote districts and suburbs, the operator confirms the delivery price when confirming the order. Keep these two pricing arrangements separate when planning your gift.

Choose a bouquet that matches the relationship

The recipient’s preferences are a better starting point than a rigid list of flower meanings. Think about colours they wear, flowers they have mentioned and whether they enjoy a bold arrangement or something quieter. If you know little about their taste, choose with the occasion in mind and let the card explain your intention. A clear message makes the gift more personal without relying on symbolism.

For a birthday or thank-you gift in Russia, an odd number of stems is the customary choice when giving a small, countable bunch. Even numbers are traditionally associated with mourning. This is most useful when selecting a simple bunch rather than trying to count every small flower in a mixed arrangement. If the cultural context is unfamiliar, discuss your choice before placing the order.

Red roses often suggest romance, which may be exactly right for a partner and less suitable for a professional thank-you. Yellow flowers can be cheerful, but some recipients associate them with separation; personal preference matters more than a universal rule. For a colleague, relative or friend, use the card to name the occasion so that the gesture is easy to understand.

Plan the delivery around the recipient’s day

For Russian delivery addresses, you can pre-order 1–30 days ahead. This gives you time to check the address, settle the card wording and choose a suitable delivery period. If you are ordering from another time zone, check the calendar date at the destination as well as your own: a late-evening order where you live may fall on the following day for the recipient.

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. The express period begins after confirmation, so allow for that distinction when deciding whether a last-minute gift fits your plans.

Choose a period when the recipient can realistically answer the phone and receive the bouquet. A workplace delivery needs the correct office details; a home delivery needs a time when someone is likely to be there. The Russian express and time-window conditions do not apply to orders abroad. For an overseas destination, agree the timing details for that order rather than carrying over the Russian schedule.

Prepare the address, contact details and card

Enter the recipient’s address carefully, preserving the local spelling where you have it. Include details that distinguish the entrance or destination, such as a building suffix, flat number, office name or access instructions when relevant. Check the recipient’s telephone number, including its country code. A copied address can contain an old flat number or omit a building letter, so review it before paying.

Delivery is anonymous by default: the courier does not name the sender. A card with your text is free, so sign the message if you want the recipient to know immediately who sent the flowers. Keep the wording suited to the relationship. A short line naming the occasion and a familiar signature is often clearer than an elaborate message, particularly when the recipient is not expecting a gift.

Contact a manager on WhatsApp for help choosing a bouquet and agreeing the time, address and card text; you can also arrange a photo of the bouquet before delivery. Put the destination, occasion and any unresolved details in one message. This makes it easier to discuss a specific order, especially if you are coordinating it from another country.

Understand checkout and the delivery handover

For an order abroad, choose a bouquet on the country or city page, enter the address and card text, and pay online in rubles. The displayed price is already converted to rubles and includes delivery. For an order to a Russian city, account for the 500 RUB city delivery charge, or the delivery price confirmed by the operator for a remote district or suburb.

Online checkout uses CloudPayments. Check the payment options displayed at checkout before relying on a particular card, since acceptance of every foreign card cannot be promised. When ordering from outside Russia, reviewing those options early is especially useful if the gift is time-sensitive. You can consult Delivery and payment while preparing your order.

The courier calls the recipient about 15 minutes before arrival, so plan a surprise with that contact in mind. If the recipient is absent, we agree a second delivery the same day or a handover to a neighbour or concierge with the sender’s consent. Tell us about useful access details in advance, and consider whether either alternative would suit the recipient and the address.

Help the recipient enjoy the flowers after delivery

If you are sending a cut-flower bouquet in winter, suggest opening it indoors with care and avoiding a spot beside a radiator. At any time of year, a position away from direct sun, heating appliances and draughts is sensible. A bouquet left on a sunny windowsill or next to a heater will lose moisture faster, so the display location matters as well as the first drink of water.

For cut stems going into a vase, use a clean vase and fresh water, remove leaves that would sit below the waterline, and trim the stem ends with a clean, sharp tool. Refresh the water regularly and wash the vase if it becomes dirty. Follow any care instructions supplied with the flowers, because an arrangement in a container may need a different approach from a loose bouquet.

Keep the care message brief when the flowers are a gift: one helpful sentence is enough unless the recipient asks for more detail. If they will receive the bouquet at work, think about whether they can put it in water and take it home comfortably. Considering the recipient’s day, available space and preferences helps you choose a gift they can enjoy without an awkward handover.
