I live in New Zealand but want to deliever flowers to a close friend that lives in New Jersey - advice needed.

Kia ora (that’s how we say hello down here),

My close friend lives in Pompton Lakes, NJ, and she’s graduating next week. I’d love to have flowers delivered to her address on the morning of her graduation day.

Can anyone recommend a good florist in the area that offers this service? Everywhere I look online, the reviews are pretty bad and often mention that flowers don’t arrive on the chosen day. I’m not sure if this is just how reviews tend to be in the U.S., or if reliable florists are really that hard to find.

Also, I’ve noticed that most of the websites I’ve checked use vases for their arrangements. Is that an American thing? I was really hoping to send a wrapped bouquet instead of one in a vase.

I'm not too fussed about the price so I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance!
