How to save money - sending flowers


First you need to understand how the flower business works. Anytime you order flowers for delivery outside of your local area, the florist uses a floral network such as FTD or Teleflora to relay your order to another florist in the location you want it delivered. This florist creates your flower arrangement, delivers it, and then charges a reduced price to the florist who took the order. The problem is that the florist taking your order does not make enough profit from this, so they charge you an extra fee. They call it a "delivery fee", "wire fee", "service fee", or "surcharge" and most of the time don't even tell you about it until right before you pay for the order.
Thats why if you are buying flowers online - try to go as much locally as you CAN!!!
