How Much Does It Cost to Send Flowers to Turkey?

"How much does it cost to send flowers to Turkey?" is one of the first questions people ask, and the honest answer is: it depends on a handful of clear factors. Instead of quoting numbers that change with the season and the exchange rate, this guide explains what makes up the price, where hidden costs usually come from, and how to keep the total down.

The four parts of the price

When you send flowers to Türkiye with us, the total you pay is made up of:

1. The bouquet or gift itself
2. The delivery fee for the recipient's district
3. An optional time-slot surcharge, if you want a specific delivery window
4. Your bank's currency conversion, because the card is charged in Turkish lira

Let's look at each one.

1. The bouquet

The bouquet price reflects the flowers, the size of the arrangement and the florist's work. A few things move it up or down:

• Flower type: roses, orchids and lilies cost more than seasonal mixed flowers.
• Size and stem count: a large statement arrangement naturally costs more than a hand-tied posy.
• Extras: a vase, a box arrangement or an added gift increases the total.
• Season and demand: around Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, popular flowers such as red roses are in high demand everywhere. Ordering early secures the design you want.

Every bouquet is hand-tied by a local florist close to the recipient, so you pay for flowers and craftsmanship, not for air freight or a long chain of middlemen.

2. The delivery fee depends on the district

Türkiye is big. A delivery in central Kadıköy is a different job from a drive to a mountain village in the east. That's why our delivery fee is set by district (ilçe), not as one flat national rate.

You don't need to guess it: once you choose the province and district, the delivery fee is shown in the cart before you pay. Browse our delivery areas to find the district, from Istanbul and Ankara to rural villages.

3. The optional time-slot surcharge

Standard delivery takes place during the day you choose. If you need the bouquet at a specific time, for example in the morning before a birthday breakfast, you can select a delivery time slot where offered. Some slots carry a small surcharge, which is always shown before payment. If the exact hour doesn't matter, the standard option keeps the cost lower.

4. Currency conversion and bank fees

This is the part most people overlook.

• Prices are displayed in your currency (for example pounds, euros or dollars) so you can compare easily.
• The card is charged in Turkish lira (TRY). Your bank statement shows the TRY amount.
• Your bank converts TRY into your currency at its own exchange rate on the day the transaction is processed.
• Some cards charge a foreign-transaction fee for payments in a foreign currency.

So the amount on your statement can differ slightly from the figure you saw on screen, depending on your bank's rate and fees. That's not an extra charge from us; it is how international card payments work.

How to minimise it: use a card with no foreign-transaction fees (many travel cards and app-based banks offer this), and if you send flowers to Türkiye regularly, check your bank's fee table once.

What you won't pay

• No customs or import duty: nothing is shipped across a border, because a local florist in Türkiye makes and delivers the bouquet.
• No international postage: the flowers go from the florist's workbench to the door.
• No surprise delivery charge after payment: the district delivery fee is in the cart before you pay.

Why a local florist usually beats international relay networks

Many "send flowers worldwide" services are relay networks. Your order typically passes from the website you bought on, through a network or clearing house, to a florist in Türkiye who actually makes the bouquet. Each step usually takes a commission, so a noticeable share of what you pay can go to intermediaries rather than flowers. The florist at the end of the chain may also receive a fixed budget that doesn't match the photo you chose.

Ordering through a service built specifically for Türkiye, with local florists who hand-tie and hand-deliver, cuts out those layers. More of your money goes into the bouquet, the florist knows the area, and you get a photo of the delivery by email and WhatsApp, so you can see what arrived.

Tips to get the most for your budget

• Choose seasonal flowers: mixed seasonal bouquets often look generous for their price.
• Order ahead for big days: Valentine's Day, Mother's Day (the second Sunday of May in Türkiye) and Teachers' Day are busy; early orders secure your first choice.
• Skip the time slot when timing is flexible: the standard delivery is enough for most occasions.
• Use the free card translation: a hand-written Turkish translation of your message costs nothing extra and makes a modest bouquet feel very personal.
• Check the district fee first: compare the full total in the cart, not just the bouquet price.

If something goes wrong

Flowers are perishable and can't be returned. If your bouquet arrives damaged or wilted, report it with a photo within 24 hours and we will resend or refund. Questions about prices or fees? Ask us on WhatsApp or at info@flowerturkiye.com.
