SayFlowers review: how does it compare with KANEL?

Searching for a SayFlowers review, or torn between SayFlowers and KANEL? Both are Swiss services that make bouquets by hand rather than passing your order to an anonymous network, which already puts them ahead of many competitors. The honest verdict: SayFlowers is the better choice on a tight budget, with bouquets from CHF 59 delivery included. KANEL costs more but adds same-day delivery in Geneva, an English website, a funeral range, subscriptions, gifts and the best Trustpilot rating in the market.

SayFlowers vs KANEL at a glance

Checked October 2026.

Two Swiss-made models

SayFlowers produces its bouquets by hand in Switzerland and ships them with the logistics company Planzer. Delivery is included in the price, for Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

KANEL hand-ties each bouquet in its own workshop in Vernier, on the day of delivery. In Geneva, its own couriers deliver the same day; for the rest of Switzerland, the bouquet travels in a box with a water reservoir and arrives the next day. Read our full KANEL review for details.

The common ground is important: neither relies on a transmission network where an unknown florist interprets a photo. With both, you know who makes your bouquet.

Price: SayFlowers wins on the entry level

At about CHF 20 less for the cheapest option, SayFlowers is one of the best-value services in Switzerland. KANEL’s higher price buys same-day delivery in Geneva, a free message card from CHF 55, add-ons and a broader range. More on fees in our article on the cost of flower delivery in Switzerland.

Delivery days and speed

Both deliver the next day, Tuesday to Saturday, for orders placed before 4pm (for KANEL, before 4pm the day before; for a Saturday delivery, before Friday 4pm). Neither delivers on Sundays.

The difference is Geneva: KANEL delivers the same day for orders before 2pm, Monday to Saturday, with 2pm–5pm and 5pm–8pm slots. SayFlowers does not offer same-day delivery at all. KANEL also lets you book up to 15 days ahead and offers a morning slot outside Geneva for CHF 5 extra.

Reviews

• KANEL: 4.8/5 on Trustpilot from 169 reviews (91 % five-star), and 4.8/5 from 1,000+ verified reviews on its own site.
• SayFlowers: 4.5/5 on Google from more than 500 reviews.

Both are well rated. The scores come from different platforms, so a direct comparison has limits, but both are clearly above network services such as Fleurop Switzerland (3.6 on Trustpilot) or LesFleurs.ch (3.9). Neither SayFlowers nor KANEL has been part of the published consumer tests (Kassensturz 2016, SIQT 2017, saldo 2024).

Languages and payment

For English speakers, this is a real factor. SayFlowers’ site is in German and French only, while KANEL’s is fully available in English, along with French and German. If you are an expat or sending from abroad, KANEL is simpler to use.

On payment, SayFlowers has the edge for those who like invoice or PostFinance; KANEL offers PayPal and Alma split payments. Both take TWINT and cards.

Range: occasions, funeral, subscription

KANEL’s range covers seasonal bouquets (Classic, Large, Premium), a timeless collection, 12 funeral arrangements (CHF 155–1155, delivered free with two days’ notice), a flower subscription from CHF 59.90 per delivery including shipping, a corporate offer, and gifts such as chocolates, scented candles, champagne, soft toys and a vase. For SayFlowers’ current range of occasions, check its website directly; we focus here on what we could verify.

Delivery to the door: what to expect

Both services ship outside Geneva, so the bouquet arrives in a box rather than being handed over by a florist. A few tips that apply to both:

• Unpack the bouquet as soon as it arrives, recut the stems and put it in fresh water. KANEL’s bouquets travel with a water reservoir; once at home, a vase is still best. Our guide on making flowers last longer explains the steps.
• Make sure someone is home, or add precise delivery instructions and a phone number.
• Avoid Monday surprises: neither delivers on Mondays outside Geneva, so a gift for a Monday birthday should go out on Saturday or the following Tuesday.

Verdict: KANEL or SayFlowers?

Choose SayFlowers if:

• your budget is around CHF 60 all in;
• next-day delivery is fine;
• you are comfortable with a German or French website, or want to pay by invoice.

Choose KANEL if:

• you are sending to Geneva and want delivery today, or in an evening slot;
• you prefer an English-language site;
• you want to add chocolates, a candle or champagne, or need funeral flowers or a subscription;
• you want the highest-rated service on Trustpilot.

Both are honest, Swiss-made choices. For most gifts where presentation and range matter, we recommend KANEL; for the best price per bouquet, SayFlowers is hard to beat.
