If you want to send flowers to Korea from overseas, prepare the recipient’s Korean address and phone number, choose the date in Korean local time, and check the payment options offered by the linked online shop. FlowerDelivery itself does not process the order.
Even if it is difficult to visit your parents in person on special days such as birthdays, Parents' Day, wedding anniversaries, and graduation ceremonies, you can use the flower delivery service in South Korea to express your feelings.
Even when ordering from overseas, the flower gift desired by the recipient is delivered in Korea. Supported payment methods such as credit cards issued overseas or PayPal can be used.
However, actual payment availability may vary depending on the card issuing country, card brand, and payment system approval conditions.
When ordering flowers from overseas to Korea, here are some useful tips for selecting products, making overseas payments, entering delivery addresses, and specifying delivery dates based on Korean time.
Can I order flower delivery to Korea from overseas?
People living overseas can also order flowers from Korean family or acquaintances through the Internet.
Even if the orderer is in the United States or Japan, if the actual place where the flowers are received is in Korea, a domestic flower delivery service is used.
For example, this may be the case when a child living in the United States sends a birthday flower basket to parents in Korea, or a friend living in Japan orders a celebration wreath from a Korean wedding hall.
If you want to send a sympathy wreath to a funeral hall in Korea or gift a promotion congratulatory message to a domestic office, you can prepare your order in the same way.
The important thing is to distinguish between the orderer's country of residence and the actual delivery country.
Flower delivery provided by FlowerDelivery is for pick-up locations in Korea.
This means that you can order flowers from overseas to Korea, but it does not mean that flowers are shipped internationally from Korea to overseas countries such as the United States or Japan.
How to order flowers from overseas to Korea
Overseas flower delivery orders generally proceed in the following order: product selection, entering Korean delivery information, payment, and order confirmation.
1. Choosing a flower gift
First, choose which flowers to send to the recipient in Korea.
You can consider a flower basket for your parents' birthday or appreciation gift, a bouquet and roses for an anniversary with your lover, or Oriental orchids, Phalaenopsis orchids, foliage plants, etc. to celebrate a business opening or promotion.
You can choose a celebration wreath for a wedding or opening ceremony, or a sympathy wreath for a funeral.
The types of flowers and product composition may vary depending on the season and region, so please refer to the information on the actual product being sold.
2. Enter Korea delivery address
Enter the name of the person who will receive the flowers, their Korean contact information, and the exact delivery address.
If it is an apartment, you need to check the building number and number, and if it is a company, you need to check the necessary detailed information, such as the building name, number of floors, and department name.
It is important not to confuse the address of the orderer living overseas with the delivery address of the recipient in Korea.
3. Specify delivery date based on Korea
Confirm the desired delivery date based on Korean time.
Especially in countries with a large time difference from Korea, such as the United States, the orderer's local date and the Korean date may be different.
If you want to send it on a birthday or anniversary, it is recommended to select a delivery date based on Korea's year, month, and day.
4. Proceed with overseas payment
Enter order information in the connected flower delivery online shop and then select a supported payment method.
Foreign-issued cards and PayPal are separate payment methods, so you can choose the method that suits you.
5. Confirm order completion
After completing payment, check your order number and receipt status and save your order history.
It is also recommended to check that the Korean delivery address, desired date, recipient contact information, and message text are entered accurately.
Pay for Korean flower delivery with a credit card issued overseas
When ordering flowers for delivery in South Korea, there is a payment method that allows you to use a card issued overseas.
The official guide to previously confirmed ordering locations introduces foreign card brands such as VISA, Mastercard, and JCB.
However, just because the card brand is indicated, it does not necessarily mean that all cards of that brand will be approved.
Actual payment availability may vary depending on the country issuing the card, the overseas online payment settings of the bank or card company, and the support conditions of the payment system.
When paying with an foreign-issued card, it is recommended to know the following.
Check card issuing country
The current residence of the orderer and the country in which the card was issued may be different.
Even if you are staying in Korea, if you are using a card issued overseas, we recommend that you refer to the foreign-issued card payment information.
Availability of overseas online payment
Depending on the card, overseas online payments may be restricted.
Follow the instructions in the payment window. Card approval may vary depending on the issuer and payment system.
Payment currency and actual billing amount
Even if product prices in Korean online shops are displayed in Korean won, foreign-issued card usage fees may be charged in a different currency depending on the card company's exchange rate and commission policy.
It is best to check the payment terms with the card issuer for the actual billed amount and foreign transaction fees.
Order Korean flower delivery with PayPal
PayPal is one of the payment methods you can choose when making online payments abroad.
Orderers residing overseas can use the PayPal payment method provided by Korean flower delivery online shops.
However, PayPal and overseas credit card payments are distinct methods.
How do I make a PayPal payment?
After entering the product you want to order and Korean shipping information, check whether you can select PayPal on the actual payment screen.
If you are connected to the PayPal payment screen, you will follow the instructions to log in and proceed with the payment approval process.
After payment is completed, you must also check the order receipt status at the online shop.
Things to keep in mind when using PayPal
Actual payment availability may vary depending on the country of registration of your PayPal account, available payment methods, currency, and account status.
We cannot guarantee that payments will be made on the same terms for PayPal accounts in all countries.
When currency exchange occurs, the applicable exchange rate and fees may also vary depending on payment conditions, so it is recommended to check the final approval screen.
How do I use the Korean ordering screen?
The order/payment screen of the currently connected actual flower delivery online shop is provided in Korean.
You can check the ordering method on FlowerDelivery, then go to an external online shop, select a product, and proceed with payment.
The meanings of frequently used Korean items during the ordering process are as follows.
Orderer information
This is information about the person who purchases the product and pays for it.
If you live overseas, fill out your name and contact information according to the input format provided by the shop.
Recipient information
This is where you enter the name and contact information of the person who actually receives flowers in Korea.
We recommend that you prepare a phone number where you can be reached in Korea as you may need to contact us during delivery.
Delivery address
This is the address in Korea where flowers will be delivered.
Enter the road name address and detailed address accurately, and if necessary, check the building name and building number.
Expected delivery date
This item allows you to select the date you want to receive flowers.
It is recommended to check based on the Korean date rather than the local date for overseas orderers.
Message or ribbon message
Depending on the product, you can enter a congratulatory message card or ribbon text.
Write a phrase appropriate for the purpose of the gift, such as a birthday, thank you, congratulations on opening a business, or condolences, and also check the name of the sender.
Payment method
Select a payment method supported by the actual shop, such as an foreign-issued card or PayPal.
Follow the payment instructions displayed on the online shop, and make sure that the payment method you selected is available for the order.
Time difference precautions when sending flowers from the United States to Korea
Because there is a large time difference between the United States and Korea, you must be careful when setting a flower delivery date.
In the United States, time zones vary depending on the region, and some regions apply daylight saving time.
Therefore, when ordering from the United States, it is more accurate to consider the date by which you should actually receive the flowers in Korea rather than the time in your current region.
For example, if your parent's birthday in Korea is May 8th, you must prepare for delivery based on May 8th in Korea, not the orderer's local date.
If you need to deliver flowers before a specific event begins, it is recommended to check the event time in Korean time.
Entering the desired delivery time does not guarantee arrival at that time, so if it is an important schedule, you must check whether delivery is actually possible.
Sending sympathy wreath from overseas to a Korean funeral hall
When you live overseas and hear about the death of an acquaintance or relative in Korea, you may send a sympathy wreath.
At this time, just like ordering domestically, you must check the exact name and address of the funeral hall, mourning room number, necessary deceased or resident information, funeral schedule, etc.
Funeral schedules in Korea can take place over a short period of time, so it is important to check whether actual wreath production and delivery is possible, taking the time difference into account.
The regulations for bringing in and displaying sympathy wreaths may differ depending on the funeral hall, and there are cases where the bereaved family declines wreaths.
It is recommended that you proceed with the order after checking the information provided in the obituary, and inquire with the shop about the actual arrival time before the funeral.
Sending a celebration wreath from overseas to a Korean wedding hall
When it is difficult to attend a Korean wedding abroad, you can convey your feelings through a celebration wreath.
Wedding celebration wreath must confirm the wedding hall name and address, exact hall name, ceremony date and time, and the names of the bride and groom.
Additionally, some wedding halls restrict the bringing in of external celebration wreaths or have separate regulations on installation locations.
Before ordering a wreath, it is a good idea to check whether your wedding venue can actually receive it.
Please prepare both the wedding ceremony time and desired delivery time based on Korean time.
Is same-day delivery in Korea possible for overseas orders?
Even if you order from overseas, the actual shipping destination is Korea, so it will be checked based on the domestic shipping conditions provided for the product and region.
Just because you order from overseas does not necessarily mean the delivery time will be longer.
However, same-day delivery may vary depending on the time of payment approval, order reception time, flower preparation status, delivery area, etc.
Even if you order at night in the US or Europe, in Korea it may already be the next day or a different time zone.
If you want to send flowers in a hurry, it is recommended to check the Korean date and time and check whether same-day production and delivery is possible at the actual place of order.
Order Changes & Inquiries
After ordering flowers from overseas, you may need to change the delivery address, date, or message text.
Have your order number, Korean delivery date, and requested changes ready, and contact us via KakaoTalk or our customer service call center.
Changes may be subject to the current order and delivery status.
Response confirmation may be delayed due to the time difference between overseas and Korea, so it is recommended that you enter contact information accurately when ordering and discuss contact methods with the Korean recipient in advance if necessary.
Payment approval, product receipt, and delivery may vary, so it is important to check the actual order status.
Things to check before ordering flowers from overseas to Korea
When ordering Korean flower delivery overseas, please check the following.
First, check the flower product to be gifted, its actual composition, and desired delivery date.
Second, prepare the Korean recipient’s name, phone number, and accurate delivery address.
Third, check the delivery date and event time based on Korean time.
Fourth, check the available payment method, either a foreign card or PayPal.
Fifth, write a congratulatory message or ribbon and, if necessary, check the funeral hall or wedding hall's import regulations.
Finally, after completing payment, check the order number and receipt status to see if the order was completed successfully.

Even if you live overseas, you can express your feelings with a flower gift to your family, friends, or lover in Korea.
You can consider bouquets and flower baskets for birthdays and anniversaries, orchids and flower pots for opening a business or promotion, and wreaths tailored to the purpose of the event for weddings and funerals.
