Boxing Day Flower Delivery in Jamaica: Order Before the Holiday

Boxing Day flower delivery in Jamaica is not possible on December 26 itself. FlowersJamaica does not deliver on main public holidays, and Boxing Day is one of them. To get flowers to someone in Jamaica over the holidays, order before 11:00 am Jamaica time on a working day, and aim for December 22 or 23 to leave room for the holiday gap.

Is Boxing Day Flower Delivery in Jamaica Possible?

No. Boxing Day is a public holiday in Jamaica, and FlowersJamaica does not send deliveries on main public holidays. An order placed for December 26 will not be delivered that day. Sundays are also non-delivery days, so the working week for deliveries is Monday to Saturday, minus public holidays.

The practical fix is to order early. Our guide to Christmas flower delivery in Jamaica: what to send covers which arrangements tend to suit the season.

Which Days Have No Deliveries Around Christmas?

The holiday window for 2026 and 2027 looks like this:

Date Day Flower delivery Note
Thursday, December 24, 2026 Christmas Eve Yes, if ordered before 11:00 am Last same-day window before Christmas
Friday, December 25, 2026 Christmas Day No Public holiday
Saturday, December 26, 2026 Boxing Day No Public holiday
Sunday, December 27, 2026 Sunday No No Sunday deliveries
Monday, December 28, 2026 Working day Yes First delivery day after the holiday run
Friday, January 1, 2027 New Year's Day No Public holiday

Christmas Eve is not a public holiday, so it is a normal working day. Plan around the closed days, not around the calendar date alone.

What Is the Latest Order Time for Same-Day Delivery?

The cutoff is 11:00 am Jamaica time. Orders placed before that time, Monday to Saturday, are delivered the same day in most areas. Orders placed after 11:00 am are delivered the next day.

Jamaica does not observe daylight saving time, so during December 11:00 am in Jamaica is the same as 11:00 am US Eastern time and 4:00 pm in the UK. Check the clock in Jamaica, not your home time zone, before you click order.

Same-day service covers most areas, including Kingston and Montego Bay.

What Happens to Orders Placed Over the Holiday?

An order placed after 11:00 am on December 24, or on any closed day, waits for the next day that deliveries run. Because the next day may itself be a holiday or a Sunday, an order placed on Christmas morning should be expected no earlier than Monday, December 28, 2026.

A few points to keep in mind:

  • You can write a preferred time in the delivery instructions, and the florist will try to meet it.
  • Exact time slots are not guaranteed, so do not plan a timed event around a specific hour.
  • Your card message is still included free with every order.

How Should You Order to Get Flowers Delivered on Time?

Follow these steps:

  • Pick your target date. The site suggests ordering at least 2 to 3 days ahead for Christmas, so December 22 or 23 is a safe target.
  • Check the time in Jamaica and place the order before 11:00 am.
  • Choose your arrangement from the flowers category. Bouquets start at USD 79.05, and a bright option such as the Citrus Dream Medley is a good choice for a holiday table.
  • Write your preferred delivery time in the instructions if you have one.

Avoid ordering on December 25 or 26 for delivery that same week. Those days are closed.

What Do You Need to Include When You Order?

The florist needs three details to coordinate the delivery: the recipient's name, the full address, and a phone number. Add your card message at checkout, since every order includes a free printed card.

The lowest-priced bouquet starts at USD 79.05 plus a flat USD 14.95 delivery fee, so USD 94.00 in total. Prices are charged in USD, with EUR and GBP shown for reference. You can pay with Visa, Mastercard or American Express through Stripe, or with PayPal. Orders are accepted from any country.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send flowers to Jamaica on New Year's Day?

No. New Year's Day (January 1) is a public holiday in Jamaica, and FlowersJamaica does not deliver on main public holidays. Place your order on a working day before the holiday, with the 11:00 am Jamaica time cutoff in mind, so the florist can arrange delivery on the next working day.

What time is 11:00 am Jamaica time in the UK and the US?

Jamaica does not observe daylight saving time. In December, 11:00 am in Jamaica matches 11:00 am US Eastern time and 4:00 pm in the UK. Use Jamaica time when you decide whether an order will make the same-day cutoff.

Does FlowersJamaica deliver on Christmas Day?

No. Christmas Day is a main public holiday, so there are no deliveries that day. To have flowers arrive on Christmas Eve, place the order before 11:00 am Jamaica time on December 24.

Can I request a specific delivery time for a holiday order?

You can write a preferred time in the delivery instructions, and the florist will try to meet it. Exact time slots are not guaranteed, so plan around a delivery window rather than a fixed hour.
