Frequently Asked Questions

How does the product filtering work?
Our Webshop provides various filtering options to help you find what you are looking for. You can access these filters in the left-side menu on the Webshop. You can refer to our step-by-step video tutorials on using filters, or if you prefer, continue reading the instructions below.

Product Groups
Use this filter to search for products within specific product groups. You can select multiple groups simultaneously, which can be very useful when combining with the other filters as well. Within the Flower department, there are around 100 product groups to choose from and within the Plant department another 30+.

Colours
Filter by specific colours. Useful for events with colour themes. If you need precise shades, consult your account manager.

Growers
If you have had positive experiences with specific growers or know that certain growers offer the product you are looking for, the Growers filter can be very helpful. By selecting your preferred growers, you will see all the products and varieties they offer. You can choose multiple growers.

Quality
Flowers are typically graded as B1, A2, or A1, with A1 being the highest quality. However, we have introduced two additional grades: Extra and Super. These flowers are officially A1 quality but surpass the average A1 flowers. In our Webshop, you can filter by one or more quality grades. This is helpful if you are looking for the best options or prefer more budget-friendly 2nd quality products.

Sizes
In the Flowers department, the diameter filter is exclusively used for Anthurium. In the Plants department, the Pot Size filter allows you to select your preferred pot sizes. Additionally, you can filter by product length/height. This is helpful if you’re specifically looking for tall plants or shorter flowers for bouquets. The filter values represent the minimum and maximum available for that specific date and department.

To simplify your product search process, utilize the Webshop’s search filter conveniently positioned at the top right corner. As soon as you begin typing, the Webshop will promptly search for relevant items. Feel free to input any criteria, such as color, product length, packing type, grower, or product name.

For quicker navigation, utilize the alphabet section to move from letter to letter. 

Reset
Last but not least: the Reset button ‘Cancel filter’ resets the filters. Sometimes it’s easy to lose track of the filters you’ve used and you could be wondering why you don’t see a lot of products. Use the Reset button to clear filters and reload all products available for the selected Department and Date.

When browsing products on the Webshop, you can add items to your Wish list if you do not want to buy them right away. This feature is handy for keeping track of things you like or want to buy later. 
Additionally, the Wish list allows you to save products with future shipment dates. If an item is only available on a specific date (indicated by an orange availability date), you can add it to your Wish list by opening the product details and clicking the heart icon. This allows you to easily find the items when they become available on the specified date. When you change the date or log back in, you’ll receive a pop-up notification reminding you of the items in your wish list. Please note that adding products to your Wish list does not automatically add them to your shopping cart.

In the Flowers (NL), Plants (NL), and Sundries (NL) departments, you will find our largest assortment. You can adjust the dates within these departments to explore different offerings. Our product selection is live, with new items added throughout the day. If you cannot find your preferred product, please reach out to your account manager – he can check if it can be arranged for you.

Understanding the characteristics of flowers – such as weight, length, head size, and ripeness stage – ensures you purchase the desired products and prevents customer dissatisfaction.

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to place an order using your J. van VLIET Flower Group Webshop account. Additionally, it covers various actions you can perform within your shopping cart. You can refer to our step-by-step video tutorial on placing an order, or if you prefer, continue reading the instructions below.

When purchasing products from our Webshop, follow these steps:

1. Select the Product:
   o Each product has an input box located below its picture.
   o Input the desired quantity you want to order for that product.
   o The quantity you enter will automatically adjust to a multiple of the minimum order amount.
   o For example, if you fill in 60 stems for a product that is sold per 80 stems, the system will adjust the quantity to 80 stems.
   o Use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to add or deduct the minimum order amount for the product.
2. Adding to Cart:
   o Once you’re satisfied with the quantity, click the ‘Buy’ button to add the product to your shopping cart.
   o If you’re using the ‘List View’ (which you can switch to in the top right corner of the Webshop), the input field and Buy button will be available on the right side of the page.
   o Regardless of the view, the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons remain accessible.
3. Detail Window:
   o Another option for purchasing our products is the Detail Window.
   o In this view, you will find all the specific details for a single product.
   o The input field for order amounts works the same way and is located below the product picture.
   o Additionally, you can add a remark specific to that product in the detail window.
4. Checking the shopping cart: When you are done with your order, you should always check your shopping cart as a double check.
5. Confirmation:
   – Each product added to your shopping cart is automatically confirmed.
   – When you have completed your order, click on ‘Send email and log out’.
   – Check your mailbox – you will receive the Webshop confirmation. If you don’t see the email, please check your spam or junk folders. It’s also possible that there’s a typo in the email address linked to your webshop account, or that some mailbox providers are blocking our domain.
   If you decide to add or edit items, you’ll receive a new confirmation email with only the changes you have made when you log out. For example: If you initially order products A and B and click ‘Send email and log out’, you will receive a confirmation email with both products. Later, if you log in again and add product C, then log out once more, you will receive a second confirmation email showing only product C.
6. Managing Your Webshop Order:
   When you add items to your shopping cart on our Webshop, the entire order remains visible as an overview. This allows you to make adjustments, add remarks, or even remove items if they have not been packed yet and if they were not purchased directly from a grower.
7. Editing Items:
   Some articles cannot be edited or deleted because they are ordered directly from the grower. When attempting to add such an item to your basket, a pop-up message will inform you that it cannot be cancelled. Other items can be edited until they have been packed.

Shop is closed
During the opening hours of our Cash & Carries, their Webshop will be temporarily closed for purchasing. We take this step to ensure that you can receive the products you have ordered, as the same items might be available for in-store purchase simultaneously. You can check the status of the Webshop (whether it’s open or closed) in the top left corner of the screen. If you need to buy flowers while the Webshop is closed, don’t worry – you can still make purchases from the Flowers (NL), Plants (NL), and Sundries (NL) departments. And if you spot a product at your Cash & Carry that you really want, feel free to give them a call and ask them to add it to your order.

You do not need to confirm your order. Everything in your shopping cart is automatically saved. Once you have completed your order, click ‘Send email and log out,’ and you will receive a confirmation from the Webshop. If you want to add or edit items, simply log back in and select the desired date. Your shopping cart provides an overview of your order. If you add a new product, you will receive a confirmation email with only the changes you have made upon logging out.

Multiple shopping carts
In our Webshop, each order has its own separate shopping cart. This means that for every order, you will receive a dedicated cart. The system limits this to one order per department and date combination. For instance, if you place a flower order on the 24th, a separate cart will be created for it. The same applies to plant orders on the 24th and 25th. Whenever you make changes to your order, you’ll receive order confirmations to help you keep track of what you’ve ordered for each date.

Your shopping cart stays full
The products you have ordered remain in your shopping cart. You will not be able to duplicate your order in any way when logging out. The items remain in the shopping cart for you to add more items to your order or change / delete items from your order. If you add a new product, you will receive a confirmation email with only the changes you have made upon logging out.

Changing order
While the shopping cart is accessible, you have the flexibility to make changes to your order. You can add products, include remarks, and cancel items. However, it is essential to note that not all products in your cart can be canceled. Some items are directly linked to the grower’s system and cannot be removed. If you accidentally ordered such a product, please reach out to your salesperson to inquire about its removal.
If a product has already been packed for you, it cannot be canceled. Once an item is in your shopping cart, our system begins preparing it for you. Therefore, it’s crucial to add only the products you’re certain you want to order. Anything in your shopping cart is automatically confirmed.

Confirmation mail
Once you have added items to your shopping cart, they remain there even after you receive the confirmation email. The email confirmation is automatically sent when you click ‘Send email & Log out.’ However, if you are logged in on another device, the confirmation email might be delayed. To ensure instant delivery, remember to log out from all devices, including the Webshop App. In other cases, the confirmation email will be sent approximately 30 minutes after your last activity in the Webshop.

Additionally, each time you add products or remarks to your order, you will receive a confirmation email for the changes you have made. For instance, if you start your order by adding some products and then click ‘Send email & Log out,’ you will receive a confirmation for those specific items. If you later log back in and add another product, a separate confirmation email will be sent for the newly added item.

In your shopping cart, you will find an overview of the products you have selected for a specific date from the chosen department. Products purchased directly from the grower cannot be removed. If you encounter a pop-up indicating that a product is non-removable after adding it to your cart, you can reach out to your account manager. They will assess whether it is feasible to remove the item from the system. Please note that this does not guarantee removal in every case. Remember: anything you add to your basket is automatically confirmed as an order.

The availability of dates may differ depending on the customer’s location and department. Please note: we display only a limited number of upcoming dates to ensure the freshest quality of flowers. This practice allows us to maintain the highest standards for our customers.
Offer Variability: The availability of our products can change based on the day and can vary per customer’s location. We continuously update the offer throughout the day. Our most extensive selection of flowers is usually available after 1 pm on the Webshop.
Guaranteed Delivery: Some growers may deliver to us later than others. Their complete range is still accessible on our Webshop, but it’s available for ordering one day ahead. Make sure you check all possible dates while searching for specific products.
