Additional fees may apply; check the estimates page for information.
Operating Hours: 9a to 6p weekdays, 10a to 4p Saturday and Sunday.
Additional Fees
Need a flower delivered at exactly 5:05p at Chez Shea on Tuesday for an amazing date? We're happy to do that, but such timing requires rigid structure and planning on our part, and thus costs monies. Use the following list to figure out just how much will be added to your existing run cost. You can indicate your exactness-of-timing needs in the notes field when you place your order.
- On The Nose: $20
- +/- 5 minutes: $15
- +/- 10 minutes: $10
- +/- 15 minutes: $5
Your request will, of course, be logic-checked against your urgency indication, and you will be billed in accordance with the strictest of the two.
Any deliveries outside normal business hours will be assessed individually via phone, but you can get a good idea of the estimated cost by treating it as an ASAP. There is no guarantee that we will be available outside business hours.
Specials
Screaming for Ice Cream
We will retrieve your favorite Molly Moon or BlueBird ice cream flavor (depending on availability) and deliver it to you before it melts. We'll pay for up to two scoops, as you're paying for our travels. If it melts, we'll eat it, at no charge to you.
Valentine's Day with Babeland
In conjunction with Babeland, Seattle's premier sex toy shop, we'll be making free deliveries all weekend long when you place your order on Babeland's site. You can learn more on our press release.
Handcrafted reports are a beautiful thing. Handcrafted reports served up in those fancy plastic covers with bold titles and bullet points are a masterpiece. Handcrafted reports served up in fancy covers hand-delivered by awesome people on roaring motorcycles— well, that's something entirely beyond the expected. If you're looking to make a statement with delivery, we promise to exceed your expectations at every turn.

Owners / Fliers:
Now that you know what we're about, find out how best to treat us.
Utilitarian. Tiny. Badass.
Janine is helpful. Not just like the guy who holds the door for you when you're juggling your car keys, the mail, and that gallon of milk. No, Janine has trained long and arduously to be as competent and helpful as a fleet of those guys.
When you're locked out of your office at 8:59a with a board meeting in ten minutes and a report due across town in 5— she's the kind of girl who will pick open the lock for you, deliver that report on time, and entertain your board of directors by juggling flaming torches while you draft up those last pie charts.
Janine is a locksmith / accountant / stunt girl / student / EMT / editor who giggles when finals and tax season co-inhabit her calendar.
She once fought a bear with a stapler, just to turn in an essay on time— and she'd do it twice for you.
Ocho
Ocho is a totally rad bike. He is a 2009 Suzuki SFV 650 sportbike— the naked version of the SV. He's got sticky tires, new brakes, a lowered body, and a whole lotta vroom. Think of him like the Seabuscuit of the sportbike world.
Organic Chat Client. Cyberpunk. Manic.
Willow is from the Future. And in the future, everything is efficient.
A whirlwind of unobtrusive helpfulness with a penchant for tying up loose ends, she never seems to stay in one place long enough to smell the flowers. She's the one balancing across the catwalk to fix that final bulb so the show can start on time. Willow sees all systems as the same, albeit malleable, and will talk with anyone about any subject at great length.
She'll get that report to your contact, like a friendly ninja, and make a fantastic impression doing so. A facilitator / sociologist / traceuse / transhumanist / public speaker, she giggles at humanity and playing tetris with calendars.
She once trained a circus bear to battle rogue clowns, but it escaped near a university.
Beast
Beast growls at everything. He's a 2006 Suzuki SV650S with racing tires, D&D pipes, and amped-up fuel injection. He's like the Beast from X-Men: big, blue, and wicked smart.
Don't be a dick. For further details, see below.
While using Va-Va-Vroom's services, there are a few details we suggest you keep in mind:
- Our ladies provide a specialty service. They are professionals, and will be treated accordingly. We conduct business in a professional and respectful manner, unless otherwise explicitly requested, and we expect the same from you. Think of us like the UPS guy... except female, and much faster!
- Motorcycles are dangerous. They are heavy, they are powerful, and they get hot enough to roast bacon. Mmm, bacon. While this is exactly why we love them, it is also why you should respect them. Do not ever touch a motorcycle without express permission from the owner. That way, if it falls over / gets scratched / catches on fire / explodes in a fireball— you aren't to blame. Savvy?
- Women are dangerous. They are heavy, they are powerful, and when they get hot enough, they roast bacon. Mmm, women. I mean, bacon. Women also deserve respect! Especially those with 650cc's of engine under them! Do not ever touch a woman without express permission from her. That way, if she falls over / scratches you / catches on fire / explodes you with laser beams shot from her retinas— you aren't to blame. Savvy?
