What happens if nobody answers at a rowhouse with no porch?
+
This is the single most common Baltimore delivery problem and the reason the recipient's mobile number is not optional. On a block of marble steps opening onto the sidewalk — Canton, Patterson Park, Pigtown, Highlandtown, Union Square, most of Hampden — there is no sheltered spot to leave a vase and no safe place to hide one. The studios handle it three ways: a call or text to the recipient on approach, a hand-off to a neighbor the recipient names, or a same-evening second attempt. If you know the recipient works days, send the bouquet to the office instead, or pick a delivery date rather than the fastest option. Apartment buildings in Mount Vernon, Charles Village and Harbor East usually have a vestibule buzzer, so include the unit number.
Can you deliver a birthday bouquet to a Baltimore campus?
+
Yes, with the usual campus caveat: hand-offs happen at a desk, not a dorm room. Johns Hopkins Homewood on North Charles Street, the Peabody Institute in Mount Vernon, Johns Hopkins' East Baltimore medical campus, the University of Maryland Baltimore professional campus on West Lexington, the University of Baltimore on North Charles, MICA on Mount Royal Avenue, Loyola University Maryland and Notre Dame of Maryland on the North Charles corridor, Morgan State on East Cold Spring Lane, Coppin State on West North Avenue, Towson University on York Road and UMBC in Catonsville are all inside the radius. Give us the building and department for staff and faculty, or the residence-hall package room for students — and a mobile number, because campus desks close early on Fridays.
