WE’LL HANDLE YOUR
LONG-DISTANCE MOTHER’S DAY ORDER
Mother’s Day is just around the corner. For many people,
mom lives far away, making it difficult to be with her on her special day.
Of course, flowers offer a time-honored way of letting mom know just how much you appreciate her. But sending flowers long
distance can be confusing and sometimes disappointing, especially if you are not familiar with the process and some of the pitfalls.
The Internet has given rise to literally thousands of flower-delivery options. But how do you know you’re really getting a good price
and high-quality service? More important, will the flowers arrive at mom’s on time?
Many Web sites touting great prices show you a gorgeous arrangement – only to deliver a bunch of flowers in a box that mom
still has to put in a vase. In many cases, what is delivered is similar to what you can buy in a grocery store or from a street vendor.
It might be a nice bouquet but one that isn’t arranged in a container; often, the container shown costs extra.
As a result, the great price that first got your attention, after adding extra charges including service and delivery fees, might not be
any better than what a local florist would charge.
Perhaps you know of a florist where mom lives. But be careful if you use a search engine to find contact information. Many
unscrupulous companies make themselves look like the florist you are trying to reach, perhaps by using a similar name or even a
local phone number (that ultimately rings in another state). These companies tend to charge high service and delivery fees, only
to hand off the delivery to someone else. They charge you fees that they didn’t earn, and you don’t get what you paid for.
You can avoid these hassles and ensure the best results by placing your order early – and by calling us when you do.
We’re proud to be your local florist, but we also are one of the largest senders of long-distance orders in the country. Other florists
want to keep us happy because they want to continue receiving our business. We also foster our relationships with them through our
regular participation in national florist meetings.
In short, we can resolve the rare problem when it occurs. What’s more, we have strong ties to FTD and Teleflora, the two largest
wire services that florists use to transmit their orders, and they will step in if necessary to make sure that problems are addressed to
our customers’ satisfaction.
Sending flowers long distance can be confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. Just call us, and we’ll make the process easy. We’ll handle
your out-of-town order with the same care and attention it would receive if we were delivering it ourselves.
