So You want to order flowers?

The internet is a great resource for information. But when ordering flowers, you should be aware that things are not always as they seem. More and more, "order gatherers" have built websites to entice you to spend your money on flowers with them. Oddly enough, they call your order out to a local florist after retaining a portion of your money! Local florists are looking to re-educate the public about receiving a better value when ordering DIRECT. A recent conversation with a Southern region florist;

"If a customer calls my shop directly, they will get a better value. I don't charge service fees. If they pay for $60.00 for flowers, the arrangement will be worth $60.00. That order through an order gatherer would come to me at a value of less than $45.00. It's something consumers should be aware of."

In addition, call centers are not staffed with professional florists. Customer Service has become a real issue. Complaints from consumers using these "Order Gatherers" are on the rise.

"These companies don't know what I have in stock. They never even touch a flower. Customers who call me direct know what they are going to get, no guessing. I can offer suggestions based on my floral experience. I can get details about the delivery specifications. Direct contact between the consumer & florist will always produce better service and value."

So Flower Buyer's BEWARE! Always call a real local florist. The florist you are ordering from, should have a local address. Ask them when you call, "Are you the flower shop that will be designing my order?" By taking these precautions, you will get beautiful flowers designed from a professional florist all at a better value.
