So when is the best time and how to send gifts to the Philippines?

Avoid, the rush, peak seasons like Valentines and Mothers day will mean higher prices especially the flowers. Order your gifts and flowers at least three days in advance when prices are not yet jacked up.

When choosing the right online Manila florist and gift shop, be clever. Know the difference between those that subcontract their flowers and other items to those that originally make them. From pictures alone, you can discern which is which. Those that display generic flowers that have no fillers at all more often than not, subcontract. They deliberately omit fillers or use pictures that do not have fillers to avoid any errors in the final flowers because they do not have full control of the production. And these pictures were just compiled from the internet and never theirs in the first place. Its a free game out there, even our pictures get pirated and posted in other sites.

Avoid websites that have a scroll down menu list for which country you are ordering, they are obviously not located in the Philippines. When you order gifts and flowers from these, they in turn scout our site for a similar product, flowers or gifts and order from us. What would be delivered would obviously be different from what you paid for. Better order directly from a site that is based in the Philippines like your host MAKULAY.COM.

Peak season are volume days. High profile florists and gift shops like Makulay are overwhelmed by orders. Always have your delivery date set one day before the big day so that your flowers and gifts will get delivered ahead or on the big day itself. A day ahead delivery is better than a day after.
