Flower wholesale delivery in Brooklyn
Hudson Shipping Co is a Brooklyn cargo bike courier. We handle time-sensitive flower deliveries from wholesalers to shops, hotels and events, using the Flatbed for crates and insulated totes where needed.
Careful, time-sensitive handling
Flowers do not wait. A wholesaler needs a delivery partner who is on time and gentle with the load. We deliver to florists, hotels and event spaces on a schedule you set, with live tracking so each customer knows when stems will arrive.
Flatbed for crates
Flower crates are a standard load for the Flatbed, our custom-built open trike. It has a 16 ft² load area, a 5 ft × 38 in bed, 50 in of usable deck and side rails. You can book a whole Flatbed for a large order. Smaller or boxed orders go in the enclosed Venture, which has a 13 ft³ box and carries up to 400 lb per trip.
Temperature
We can provide insulated totes that keep goods at the same temperature for the duration of a trip. We do not have climate control on the bikes. If your flowers are sensitive to heat or cold, tell us when you book so we can plan the route and the packaging.
How a flower route runs
- You share your regular customers, their addresses and delivery days.
- We agree early-morning windows around when your stock arrives.
- Our routing technology orders the stops for bike lanes and dense stops.
- Each drop has a live tracking link and proof of delivery.
Schedules and events
Recurring routes suit the standing orders from shops and hotels. For one-off event deliveries, such as a large order for a venue, book a same-day courier job. We are based in Gowanus and fastest across South Brooklyn, and we deliver across all of NYC.
Weather
We ride in rain and snow, and the Venture is fully enclosed so boxed product stays dry.
