Order Direct and Save

Order Direct and Save

Here is the honest scoop on ordering flowers out-of-town.  I'm giving you this inside information because I think saving money is a wise idea, and you will get better service as well.

I think everyone is familiar with the wire services, such as FTD, Teleflora, etc.  Traditionally people would call their local florist and order flowers through them when they had to send out-of-town.

The the florist would contact another shop in that city and complete the order.  Unfortunately for the consumer, that would mean less value because the wire service would get a percentage of the order.

With the convenience of the internet and online ordering, you can simply order direct from the florist of your choice in any city, any time, anywhere.  Simply Google "florist in whatever city" and you will get a listing of the florists who service that area.  WAIT!  Make sure it is a LOCAL florist.  You don't want to use what we call an "order gatherer"--not really a florist, and not really in that city.  An order gatherer is a huge company that farms out the orders it gathers on the internet.  Notice in the picture the florists that are actually in that city are listed with an address and a number on the map.  

Pick one of these and you can be assured of good service and no added fees.

Each of these pins correspond with an address and phone number for a local florist on the Google listing.
