Flowers are plants - they will die if they don't have water and daylight.
As the customer still hasn't even bothered to collect from her local post office I have instigated the return of the goods.

 The fact they outsource to a third party who may not have adequate facilities is entirely their choice. 

We sent the goods on an overnight 24 hour delivery - they don't need any special facilities, except the customer going to pick them up

I would leave them at the post office and keep sending daily messages reminding the customer that they need to collect!

The difference between a bunch of flowers and a potted plant is that a bunch of flowers is still going to die in a few days no matter how adequately you care for it. Not really sure how else to try and word the blatant difference. 

People will die if they don't have water & daylight, do you think that means we are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly? Because life expectancy would have me believe otherwise.
