Should advise to order to receive at least 6 days before event. Mine did not open until 7-8 days after received. I snipped ends and placed in warm water within hours of delivery.

I have never ordered flowers in bulk but they were delivered on time. If you order this particular variety I would suggest you order them a few days earlier than suggested as the flowers take more than a few days to fully bloom. I still have a bouquet and they fully bloomed at least a week later.

These flowers opened up absolutely beautifully, they arrived in time, some were damaged, luckily we had more than we actually needed. The flowers lasted very long and kept well. I definitely recommend following the guidelines of having these delivered2 days before your event because they take the full 2 days to bloom. We used these with sunflowers for the enter pieces for our little girls' birthday party & we were very pleased. This is our third time purchasing bulk flowers for delivery and have not been disappointed at all.

When these arrived a day earlier than I had ordered them, they were tiny buds. I tried everything to get them to open up more by the time I used them in my weekend wedding, all to no avail. A week after they arrived, they started to bloom out. Too late! I have had this kind of flower many times before and have never had them be so late after purchase that they bloomed out. I ordered them because I knew they would add the perfect color to my bouquets. Unfortunately they bloomed too late.

I have ordered these white alstromeria previously and they were always beautiful. Unfortunately, this time they were not beautiful until after the wedding was over. Due to travel, I actually ordered these for arrival on Tuesday for a Saturday wedding. I did all the usual prep as recommended. By Friday when I was making the centerpieces, only about 5 blooms had opened. It was very disappointing since they were to be the fillers in the bouquets. They were green, but most of the buds were still tight. They did not begin to open until the week after the wedding and were beautiful 7-10 days after the wedding and some are still holding up almost 2 weeks past the wedding. I would not order these again unless I had some confirmation that the blooms were ready to open within a few days. If you want these, be sure to check recent reviews to see if people are getting delivered flowers that will bloom on time for your event.

Flowers arrived on the day they were supposed to arrive. Important because they were for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, they (the flower heads) were all closed tight. It took several days for them to start to open, which meant no flower pedals present on Mother's day. However, when they did open they were gorgeous and remained gorgeous for two full weeks.

These arrived with no blooms. I tried adding warm water, keeping them in a warm location, but could not coerce them in to opening. I would recommend ordering several days in advance to give them time to open. I ordered 3 days before the event. They were beautiful once they finally bloomed, and were long lasting, and of very good quality.

I ordered white and pink Alstroemeria. When they finally opened, they were beautiful. The problem was SAMS said to have them delivered 2 days before the event, in this case, a wedding. But they were only buds. Only a very few of them were actually opened for the wedding. The others opened several days later. Fortunately we also had roses and baby's breath so the bouquets were still nice. But these flowers added very little to the event because they were still buds.

We ordered these flowers for a bridal shower. The shower was Saturday and they arrived right on time on Thursday. They were strapped into the box, so they wouldn't shift during their flight. They came from Florida, to Tennessee, to Pittsburgh and were fresh with tight flowers that opened up the day of the shower!

These flowers were beautiful! -- as I knew they would be, because I purchase individual bouquets at my local Sam's Club quite often. So I ordered 90 stems to be shipped for decorations at a bridal shower. They arrived perfectly with closed blossoms and long stems and I put them in a bucket of water for a day. Then I cut and arranged them in my own vases -- this was enough to make 6 small table centerpieces (5 stems each), plus 3 large vases for other display tables. My party was on a Saturday. The flowers arrived on the previous Tuesday. Now, 2 weeks later, the flowers are still beautiful. Since all of the blossoms fully opened a week after arrival, I would actually recommend that you place your order one full week before you need them for the most beautiful display. You will be very pleased!
