can i buy flowers online from the U.S and get them shipped to Canada?<br>
how much would i have to pay like taxesThree problems with that:<br>
<br>
1) Shipping by mail or courier will cost a lot, even for a lightweight bouquet.<br>
<br>
2) The flowers will stop at Canada Customs and can be held there for several days. Imagine the poor things getting wilted either from excess heat and no water, or from excess cold in a storage facility.<br>
<br>
3) Customs may refuse the shipment due to the fact that it is a plant which may affect the local environment in Canada. For example, if a bug from Southern USA or California hitches a ride on your flowers to Toronto, where it has no natural enemies.<br>
<br>
My best recommendation to you is go online to the FTD website. Canada has many florists that are part of the FTD network. They can order a bouquet or arrangement locally from an authorized shop, and you won't have to pay extra costs to get them shipped to Canada in questionable condition.
