Cape May County, NJ Flowers by Hand

A sender in another state has one question that actually changes the outcome, and it is what hour the order has to be in by. Everything about the flowers can be settled afterwards.

Twenty Five Towns Along the Peninsula

Ocean City sits at the northern end on 08226; Wildwood is far down the peninsula on 08260; Avalon and Stone Harbor share the barrier island between them.

The city of Cape May sits at the southern tip and keeps a page of its own, distinct from this county page even though the two carry the same name. Middle Township holds the seat further up the road.

Sixteen ZIP codes cover the 252 square miles of Cape May County, and in a summer week a delivery to the island end takes longer than the map suggests. That is worth knowing before an order goes in at half past twelve.

A Memorial in Ocean City

United Methodist Communities at the Shores is in Ocean City and takes the low kind of sympathy piece, the sort a member of staff can carry through a doorway. A standing spray belongs at the service instead.

Langley-Loveland Funeral Home is inland at Woodbine, which is a different drive again, and a piece sent there should be at the room ahead of the family rather than with them.

The 1 PM Line at Wildwood

Orders placed before 1 PM Eastern time reach a Cape May County address the same business day, Wildwood and the island towns included. After that hour the arrangement is made up for the next working day.

Delivery runs Monday through Saturday and lands between 9 AM and 7 PM, and Sunday is not available at any address on the peninsula. A specific hour can be requested and it is never promised.

93,875 people live here in the winter and a great many more do not, so a rental address needs a unit number and a contact name on the order. Cape Regional Medical Center wants a room number for the same reason.

Crest Haven Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits on the same 08210 ZIP as the hospital, which is worth knowing because the two are easy to confuse on an order placed in a hurry.

Substitution and Shore Season Stock

Flower types are substituted for what the florist can get that day, with the size, shape and value of the arrangement unchanged. A photo of the finished piece is sent at no extra charge, which is how the sender sees the substitution rather than hearing about it.

Stock on the peninsula moves with the season in a way it does not further up New Jersey, so a January order into Cape May County is more likely to see a substitution than an August one. The piece is the same size either way.

Anything wrong has three days from delivery to be raised, and a replacement, a refund or a partial credit follows. Sixteen ZIP codes make a second attempt short work in most of NJ, and shorter here than most.

The catalog gives each finished size, the state is indexed at New Jersey county flower delivery, and Atlantic County, NJ begins north of the canal.
