DAFFODIL SHIPPING

ORIEL (P&F) picks, packs and transports its product so that it arrives to you in optimum condition. This procedure is further explained below.

We don't keep our product in storage for weeks on end and try to play the market. What you receive will be of optimum freshness thus ensuring a maximum shelf life.

The process of picking the daffodil in the field to its arrival at your stores/warehouse takes approximately 3-4 days.

''It is our objective to move swiftly through each of the logistical stages''

  1. Once ''cropped'' the daffodils are cleaned and put into refrigeration in order to extract the field heat and the excess sap. The daffodils must stay here for 12-18 hours.
  2. They are then graded, labelled, boxed and put onto pallets. Almost immediately the packed boxes are put into '' a sophisticated cooling tunnel''.

  1. The same day palletised boxes are transported to the airline for the flight to the USA.

  1. On arrival in America they are USDA inspected and cleared through customs from whence the daffodils are delivered to your stores/warehouse.

We can customise bunch size to suit your requirements ie. 15, 20, 25 or 30 stems per bunch
