I have important people in Poland but I can’t speak polish and I’m not in the EU.

In the past I’ve failed at calling local flower shops then bank transferring the money. Things are lost in translation and it’s been awkward 2 out of 2 times now.

There must be some middleman I can use. I could ask the recipient in question but I want it to be a surprise obviously.

Any ideas?

    Find a shop online in their area that delivers flowers and order them. Google translate is good enough to copy paste for reading descriptions and placing orders if there isn’t an option to change the website to your language.

    The most important thing is probably making sure they accept your credit/debt card processor. MasterCard, etc.

    I wouldn’t even bother trying to call anyone. Online is much easier these days.

      Well my polish people live in a village where they quite literally are not using an email address, at least not wanting to communicate this way

        It doesn’t matter, flowers are delivered by a delivery driver even if it’s to a remote village as long as you have the address.

        Maybe try the largest city close by, one of the florists there might have a website where you can order online

        Ok well, if none of the buisnesses in that area are online, I don’t know. That’s curious.

        What’s the village?
