Coronavirus might have messed up your Mother's Day plans this weekend, but it doesn't need to stop you sending Mother's Day flowers through the post. According to Royal Mail, Public Health England (PHE) has advised that people receiving parcels are not at risk of contracting the coronavirus. "From experience with other coronaviruses, we know that these types of viruses don’t survive long on objects, such as letters or parcels," the postal service adds in its statement.

So which Mother's Day flowers should you send? Well, one excellent option if you're concerned about coronavirsus is to send letterbox flowers. These hand-picked blooms are carefully packed into a letterbox-sized box, which is posted through the recipient's front door. Bloom & Wild is the original letterbox flower specialist, but there are now other players as well. We've highlighted the best letterbox flower delivery services below.

However, don't write-off hand-delivered Mother's Day flowers just yet. Interflora, Floom and many leading online florists are offering non-contact delivery this week: simply specify in the delivery instructions if you would like a no-contact drop off. (You can read Interflora's coronavirus/contactless delivery statement here.) And that's great news, because hand-delivered flowers are the best option if you want to make an instant impact. They're often bigger bouquets than letterbox options, too.

If you're quick, you can still get your Mother's Day flowers order in before the weekend - some sites are still offering free delivery, too. Read on for the best Mother's Day flower delivery services right now...
