When you want to send a thoughtful sentiment but are on a budget, finding flower options that cut costs can help. One way to make sending flowers more affordable is to select an option that offers free shipping.

Like all flowers from ProFlowers, there is a seven-day freshness guarantee for orders delivered free.
