Is it OK to have mothers day flowers delivered on Saturday?

I want to get my girlfriend's mother flowers for mothers day, and I was just wondering if it is poor ettiquette to have them delivered the Saturday before. I know they have big plans all day on Sunday so I wanted to be sure she got them on time, and also web site florists say they can't guarantee delivery on that date.

Is it OK to have mothers day flowers delivered on Saturday?
Most Mother's Day flowers are delivered the Friday or Saturday before. Mom won't care- she will be very happy to be remembered. Follow up with a phone call or visit on Sunday.
Reply:From what I have heard, most flowers will be delivered on Saturday, anyway. At least, that is custom here in FL.





I think it is a beautiful idea of yours, to think of your girl-friends mother! And my bet is, she want even waste a thought about, that it is one day early.





However, if you happen to see her in person on Mother's Day, do give the flowers to her in person.
Reply:It is absoltuely okay to have flowers delivered the Saturday before. Flowers for Mother's Day, even Valentines Day are delivered quite a few days early prior to the actual day. The fact you recognize the day is thoughtful, not the day it comes.
Reply:Yes, of course! Save on the shipping charges, and there are many delivery services that don't deliver anything on Sundays - I'm having my mom's stuff delivered today!
Reply:Absolutely not.





Etiquette doesn't work that way.





All gifts are unexpected.





An early gift is always a welcome surprise.
Reply:Flowers or gifts can be delivered anytime up to the actual celebration just not after.
Reply:It's fine. Most florists don't deliver on Sunday anyway
Reply:no problem at all. as you said you wanted to make sure she got them. your gf's mother will appreciate the gesture.
Reply:Sure, she can enjoy them for an extra day on the weekend.
Reply:yep...better than monday.
Reply:got mine today

Do you know of a reputable flower delivery service in Thailand?

I had a really negative experience recently with both Chang Florist %26amp; Siam Florist and I'm hoping to find a good delivery service for the future.





I ordered a very cute teddy bear for my GF in Thailand (and what I thought was a high-quality product based on the photo), but what was delivered to her on Valentine's Day was an obvious, cheap inferior product. I used Chang Florist for this order. I contacted Chang Florist, but they ignored my emails. And I ended up paying $50 for about a $2 teddy bear.





Previously, I had used Siam Florist to deliver flowers to her, but they recently tried to price gouge me by doubling the price of the order without my authorization. What I mean is that I ordered flowers for $42.95, but they charged my credit card $86.95 without my acknowledgement! I complained, of course, and got the charge reveresed, but I was left with the impression that they are not a reputable company to use.





Has anyone used a American company perhaps that operates in Thailand?

Why do so many people use wire services when ordering flowers?

This is Randall head designer with The Flower Shop located in Charlottesville, VA. A full service florist theflowershopvirginia.com why are people using wire services when ordering flowers for delivery?

Why do so many people use wire services when ordering flowers?
The nearest florist to me is 27 miles away (45 minute drive, $7 for gas), open 6 days a week from 8 AM to 7 PM. My phone and computer are mere inches away and open 24/7. My aunt has flower allergy problems and can't get near flowers, but she faithfully wired bouquets to grandmama for every major holiday.





Then...there are the "floral challenged," who have no sense of taste, style, or anything...the kind of person who wouldn't know the difference between a burger at McDpnalds vs. a burger at TGIF's.





Examples of arrangements may not always be available at a florists, but a pretty picture is always available online.
Reply:Flowers by wire may be a mysterious term to some, but it's the most popular way to send flowers across the country or around the world, with same day delivery possible to more than 90% of people living and working in the United States and Canada, as well as service to more than 100 other countries. The name "flowers by wire" is admittedly old-fashioned. Still, the quality and convenience are cutting edge. Interestingly enough, like most great ideas, it all started in a very low-tech, high-touch way.





Flowers by wire delivery dates back more than a century. When someone wanted to send flowers to a loved one in another city, a hometown flower shop would help by contacting a trusted florist in the distant town. Many flower shops were handed down from generation to generation, and florist families had a natural network of hardworking associates they'd come to know through the years. The distant florist could deliver the flowers to the recipient quite easily. Unfortunately, this network of fellow florists was informal, and communication was cumbersome. In many cases, mail or telegraph messages had to be used to relay an order from one florist to another. Fortunately, communications improved, and florists strengthened their associations through industry groups and trade associations. Thanks to these groups, what began as an informal cooperative effort among a handful of local florists quickly became highly organized networks of many thousands of flower shops worldwide.





One such organization was Florists Telegraph Delivery, founded by fifteen forward-thinking florists in 1910. The organization grew rapidly, but its name, and the telegraph, soon became obsolete. As technology evolved, florists migrated to the telephone as a much more efficient way of exchanging orders. The association was renamed FTD, and several other flowers by wire groups took shape. Today, the best known are FTD, Teleflora, and Interflora. Each includes more than 10,000 florist members, who meet strict quality standards and adhere to professional guidelines. It's these florists that make flowers by wire possible.





Of course, flowers by wire technology has continued to improve, too. Today, the vast majority of flowers by wire orders are transferred between florists on proprietary data networks to ensure the speed, accuracy, and security of transmission. Ties among the larger and better florists have only strengthened, because they regularly fill floral orders for each other, monitor results, and maintain close professional relationships. So, the fundamental concept remains -- fresh flower arrangements individually designed and locally delivered by independent florists all working together to help their customers.





No wonder flowers continue to be one of the most convenient gift options available. Whether you're sending flowers around the world or around the block, a professional florist can handle everything. And, you can easily shop for flowers online. So, next time you want to say "thanks," "happy birthday," "get well soon," or "thinking of you," just visit your favorite flower shop. No matter what the occasion or delivery destination, a quality florist can help. Most guarantee your satisfaction. And, while they may not have a clue how to use a telegraph, they can easily send flowers by wire almost anywhere just for you.

I am unable to get a florist for my xmas wedding?

as last delivery is way befor xmas. What do you think of this as an alternitive to a bouquet?

I am unable to get a florist for my xmas wedding?
People order centerpieces for Xmas/or New Years parties don't they? Is it just that they wouldn't last the extra time between Xmas and New Years? You may be able to find a florist still.





If you really like that sparkly one, you should look into making it yourself. I know you can do something like that for cheaper and that one will arrive shipped and possibly smashed, require just as much work to reshape it as to make one yourself.





However, depending on your colours, I'd personally go for a really dense big cluster of red berries (like cranberries). You could even do something fun with very fancy ribbons that looks like a bouqet. I even read somewhere about doing a candy or cookie bouquet (all the kids will want to catch that one!). You can also do something with crystal or glass flowers, origami, a fur muff since its a winter wedding, a horseshoe for luck or lantern if its a rustic setting.


If you're religious you could carry a rosary or a bible/prayer book.


If the venue allows it , you could carry a single candle with a ribbon etc (with a glass shield). You could use it in a unity candle ceremony if you're into that.





You could also carry something that means something to you, your family or your future husband. If you are really into wine maybe something with grapes?





Wow, you're giving me ideas now!
Reply:It's not bad, very different, you want to make sure whatever it is doesn't clash with your dress!!! I found some websites when looking for crystals to put in my boquet, I'll attach them below for you to check out! Another option you can do is to have silk flowers (from any craft store) made into a boquet and them supplement it with the crystal, so you still have some type of flowerly look! GOod Luck! Congrats on the Wedding!

Reply:I think it is great. I was originally going to carry one of these but ultimately opted for flowers, but I do love this. It is different but not over the top different. It is still beautiful and elegant with lots of sparkle. You could also make this yourself and save some money if your crafty.


Here are some links if you are interested in doing it yourself.

You could mix this up too with different colored crystals or different colored wire.


I think you should go with it! Happy Wedding
Reply:If you love it then use it. It's not my style but then it's not my wedding to decide. Have you looked into local community colleges and technical schools for floral services? Many of them have floral students with a shop at the school and they are looking for all the experience they can get and they won't charge you an arm and a leg.
Reply:I don't understand...florists work the week between Christmas and New Year's, so what is their problem? Sorry, but I don't get why there isn't a florist out there who can deliver on your wedding day, provided it isn't Christmas day itself.
Reply:Make your own-pick up the flowers and put it together


Silk wedding flowers


Origami floral bouquets


Crystal or glass flowers http://www.advantagebridal.com/swcrwebo....


Carved wood flowers


Leather or suede bouquets


Ribbon flower arrangements


Candy or cookie bouquets
Reply:I don't like it, how about a colour scheme of red and green, as you can get some very pretty flowers, berries and dark green leafs.





Still have a great wedding.
Reply:I really like the burgundy one! But they are all very different, and unique.


I think it would be agreat compromise since you can't get flowers!
Reply:I like it and it is something you can keep, your kids may want to use it when they get married.
Reply:Not my personal taste, but then again, I don't think I'd get married on Christmas either. I'd be afraid nobody would show since everyone would be with their families. Just my opinion. Good luck.
Reply:That seems to be a new emerging trend. I think it fits perfectly with your date because it's wintery (like snowflakes) but definitely festive (like New Years Eve). Go for it!
Reply:ive also seen wooden roses that are pretty but i do like the crystals i dont know if theyll show up well in pictures.
Reply:I really don't care for it. I think I would keep looking for a florist or maybe even think about making your own bouquets.
Reply:Gorgeous! A fab idea - go for it! (Flowers just wilt and smell mouldy after a couple of hours anyway!)
Reply:Thats really nice and fits in with the Xmas theme! x
Reply:Nice but over-expensive. Have you thought of dried flowers?
Reply:not my personal taste sorry,





why dont you look into making your own bouquet, ?

Chang, a florist, contracted with Torres to provide delievery services in the local community.?

Torres discovered that his vehicle did not have that equipment to handle the work well, so he asked Chang if another delivery service, Rush Truck, would be acceptable to him. After some meetings with Torres and Rush Truck, Chang agreed to the change in delivery service.





Please answer Yes or No


A. Is Torres responsible for Rush Truck performance?


B. Is this a valid assignment?


C. Is this a example of a novation?

Chang, a florist, contracted with Torres to provide delievery services in the local community.?
I believe that answer goes to who is paying Rush Truck. If Chang is paying then I would think Torres is out of the picture. If Torres is paying Rush Truck then they would be the responsible person because Rush would be acting as a subcontractor or employee or Torres. Since Chang, Rush and Torres all met then that should have actually been dealt with at the time.

good luck..


you can't go with other flowers can you? if you can...do so...
Reply:ok this is what you do: you go to findaflorist.com and find all the florists in their area - now, you need to do it TOMORROW because the florists you call will need to order in the peonies JUST for you - they will not have them cuz right now they are only thinking about roses. You tell them you are willing to buy a box of peonies (however they come to the florist bec. they cant just buy single stems) and that you know that when they call their floral wholesaler, there may be a minimum qty that they have to buy and you are fine with that BUT can they FIND any peonies that are available? if you approach it that way and let them know that you KNOW how busy they are but that this is a serious inquiry and you are willing to pay the price, you will find a florist to help you... but if you just call and dont take into consideration how busy they are this time of yr then you will get a lot of ppl saying they cant get them this time of yr. Let them know this is a serious inquiry and that if they tell you they can do it, you are ready with your cc number. in my opinion for a nice bouquet of peonies (which is my fav flower btw) in a vase, delivered, this time of yr.... on valentine's day... you should expect to pay about 85.00 with delivery - if you arent willing, forget it - the florists wont waste their time - im not trying to be harsh but any florist can tell you that their focus will not be on these odd requests this time of year- they are selling VOLUME with the roses now and it takes a lot more time to fill a request like yours so you should be willing to pay for it. good luck - i think its so sweet that u are trying to get peonies.

Reply:grow some. jk...it might be cute if you made her a card and included a packet of peony seeds, and let her know you want them to grow like your love, or something cheesy and cute like that :)

Could a florist use scheduling software?

My friends and I are developing some scheduling software.


Basically, a customer could go online and schedule a flower order and delivery.


Would this work for a floriest? Why or why not?

Could a florist use scheduling software?
Probably not. I've been a floral designer for a little over 20 years and I don't think I could use this. Things change so quickly in the course of an hour even at a florist, you cannot keep things hard and fast and have to have a good level of flexibility. You might have a handful of orders in the AM and then have family come in to order family funeral work. The funeral work has to come first and the home deliveries then get taken care of afterwards. That is why it is sometimes very difficult to give customers a specific time frame for delivery because there are just too many variables. We can usually promise BY a certain time especially if it is afternoon and someone will only be at work until 3 or something along those lines. But we really cannot be held to a set schedule because of orders that continue to come in, the variability in how long certain things take to make (say comparing a quick vase, compared to a casket spray), when shipments of flowers come in, etc.....


So that is the long answer, short answer is probably not.


It's also a LOT more helpful for us if customers call us instead of ordering online. When they order online, they cannot find out directly from us what flowers we have in the store at that very minute. They might be looking at pictures that have a HUGE assortment of flowers in them and unless we have a couple of days notice (sometimes more) we simply don't have every flower in every shade in stock at all times. When we talk to a customer on the phone, we can go over what is in stock in our store, what is in season, out of season, what looks nicest, etc..... so for me personally, even though I'm a big internet user, I much prefer for customers to call us directly.
Reply:use it for when plants or flowers come in. and rotate stock. try it. online customers are great when ordering flowers from another city. can find you on line .anything that makes you more money than it cost is areal bonus.
Reply:not a new concept.

You can't send her flowers tomorrow, cause she will know you did it out of guilt, but what about doing so in March, or June? Look around for other ways to tell her you love her, especially when it isn't a special occasion. It will mean a lot to her.

ANSWER THIS ONE! Would it matter to you if your florist used environmentally friendly vehicles for deliveries?

I am doing this survey for a class and I need to collect as many responses as possible. So....if you are ordering flowers for delivery, would it influence your decision on who to order from if a florist's vehicles were environmentally friendly (Hybrid) vs. others who were not? Why or why not? Thanks for your help!

ANSWER THIS ONE! Would it matter to you if your florist used environmentally friendly vehicles for deliveries?
No, having a hybrid car would not influence my flower buying. Price and service are what I look for. How are they planning to get those bouquets in the car? Kinda small for most arrangements?
Reply:It's the hip thing to do, but it's not practical. And who would notice or even care? Any ways enviromentalist don't want flowers killed. :-) Save the Flowers!!!! haha Peace Out!
Reply:i do not mind, it kind of blend in as enviromently friendly vehicle indirectly means more flowers...at least u got ur flowers delivered
Reply:Yes, i would even be willing to pay a little more for enviromentally friendly cars.
Reply:It wouldn't influence my decision (only prices would), but it would be pretty darn cool if the vehicle was enviornmental-friendly. If you don't share, you care!
Reply:I wouldn't even think to check if they did, so no.
Reply:Not at all. What are you buying? Flowers. Now if I were looking for a service to make deliveries for me that might be a different matter. In that you are buying a service. Transportation - deliveries.
Reply:No. It's all about quality of flowers, customer service and most importantly the price.
Reply:if it's the same price, i might





but you need to make sure people know about it first for them to decide





it's kinda like HongkongBank, they have this program to save dolphins...





it has no connection to banking whatsoever, but it might make existing customers happier banking with them or interest others





but it all boils down to service
Reply:No, not really. The flower quality would be the primary factor.


It would not even reguster in my mind. Even if the advertised it.


If it would save on the delivery charges then yes.
Reply:Well, considering I don't care if *I* drive an environmentally friendly vehicle (as long as it meets gov't standards), no, it wouldn't matter to me.

Need a florist delivery service that I can use my sears charge card?

Sears does operate an online florist that delivers and takes the Sears card.

Need a florist delivery service that I can use my sears charge card?
I know that www.acafloral.com will take checks for delivery. Call them. Report It

Reply:Aren't they in Walnut Creek and they did my cousin's wedding at a country club in the east bay and it was a beautiful weddings. They know what to do with flowers. Web site is www.acafloral.com Report It

Reply:To my knowledge, Sears is a store only card...you would have to find a Sears with a floral shop inside and I have never seen one.





For a card that you can use anywhere, you would have to get a Visa, AMEX, MC, or Discover, etc.





If Sears card is your only option to finance the flowers, you could ask a friend to spot you the cash for the florist, and then pay them back with an item from Sears. You might also be able to buy an item with your card, then return it and you MAY get cash.





The question running through my mind is...why is this purchase necessary if you can't pay for it some other way?

Reply:I can't tell you a good one, sorry. But I do have some advice. Stay away from 1-800-flowers


They have a tendency to never deliver the flowers and then not give you a refund.


Good luck


Where can I find a florist in florida that will allow me to include a long letter with my flower delivery?

I would like to send my friend some flowers while she is on vacation. I would like the florist to include a letter I have written, about a page or two, so it's longer than just a short message, with the flowers. Does anyone know how i can do this? Would hotels be able to do this better? Any information you can provide would be great! Thanks!

Where can I find a florist in florida that will allow me to include a long letter with my flower delivery?
check with ftd flowers online if you can fax the letter or e-mail it they may do it or 1800flowers. or call the hotel they may be able to help more than florist hope that helps.
Reply:I send a lot of flowers to people who live outside of the immediate area I live in.





I stay away from the 1-800's, etc., I favor using the online yellow pages and entering the zip code for the area the flowers are to be sent.





Money can buy anything!





This past November I received a bouquet at 6:00 p.m. on a Sunday!





Best of everthing to you and your lucky friend.
Reply:Its probably a good idea to stay away from anything like FTD and Teleflora. A good chunk of your money will be going toward a service fee, not worth it. Call around the Florida area and see what shops are willing to do.. It all depends on the people that work there..


Can anyone recommend a good online florist for UK delivery?

I have previously tried serenata.com - but i was disappointed.





Many thanks

Can anyone recommend a good online florist for UK delivery?
You have three choices of types of businesses when ordering flowers online:





- A local florist in the community where your flowers will be delivered. Local florists generally offer the best value with lower delivery fees - plus you can phone them to find out exactly what you'll get and know when your flowers will be delivered.





- A relay organization like Interflora that will transfer your order to a local florist. They are convenient, but charge service fees above the cost of flowers and delivery. The likelihood of substitution of flowers is high, especially with same-day delivery.





- A boxed flower company that sends by courier or Royal Mail (like Serenata). It's more difficult to know exactly when your flowers will arrive and certain types of arrangements are not well suited to being shipped in a box. Orders must be made in advance of the delivery date and may not be available for delivery on Saturdays.





To find ratings and reviews of local florists near your delivery address, try using Yahoo Local UK: http://uk.local.yahoo.com/


Do Floral / Florist Delivery people get tips from the person they deliver to? What is the usual tip?

I have never heard of tipping a flower delivery person. Especially, since someone is sending you the flowers as a gift. However, I did research it and found the following website that shows suggested amounts of tips to be given in a variety of situations such as flower deliveries. Its a neat website- check it out. It suggest $2-$5 for a flower tip.

Do Floral / Florist Delivery people get tips from the person they deliver to? What is the usual tip?
I've never heard of tipping a delivery person. The florist charges the person placing the order a delivery fee, and the driver gets a salary. A few dollars might be a nice gesture, now that you mention it.
Reply:I have been a delivery person for a florist, and tips are not very common. Occasionally, someone has tipped me maybe 1 or 2 dollars, but I always thought that it should not be expected of someone receiving what is usually a gift, and I did feel a little uncomfortable accepting a tip at those times.

I need to know some florists in LA that send flowers same day delivery.?

phone numbers would help thanks a bunch

I need to know some florists in LA that send flowers same day delivery.?
try www.conroysflowers.com





If you order before 12 noon, they'll have your order in on the same day. I live in the L.A area too and I've used conroys for last minute relationship saves (you know what I mean ;-) lol... It's a little on the expensive side but they're really reliable.





Hurry! you only got like 42 minutes before noon!





Actually... I just realized, noon cutoff is for saturday deliveries... Since today is Tuesday, you actually have till 2 o' clock. But you should still hurry.

I just wrote up a memo and I am posting it in all employee's email prohibiting V-Day gift deliveries.?

I am sick of these florists coming into this office on V-Day and Sweetest Day with crap for my employees. I have the memo already written and it will also be posted. Any employee getting these type of deliveries will get a verbal warning on the first offense and will be terminated on the second. Productivity has sucked in here today. Do any of you blame me for this? Give me your honest views.

I just wrote up a memo and I am posting it in all employee's email prohibiting V-Day gift deliveries.?
You're disciplining your employees for receiving gifts they have no control over. Most people do not send florists to themselves, their loved ones do and by now it is far too late to be saying anything of it. If you didn't want people entering the building you should have sent the memo out at least a week ago so they could tell their SOs NOT to send them anything because they're going to get in trouble for it. Doing anything right now will only upset your employees and anyone who possibly receives anything. It's ONE day. Get over it. Holidays are normally unproductive because people have their minds elsewhere. What you SHOULD send a memo over is reminding everyone that even though today is Valentine's Day, you would like to see productivity stay as good as always and just gently remind them to try to stay on task as much as possible.
Reply:If people want to send a person flowers, the receiver has no control over it. Employees need little perks in their job in order to feel appreciated. One would be an easy going boss who doesn't try to stop fun things from happening, such as not allowing flowers etc. to be delivered.





Are you the Grinch who stole Valentine's Day? Lol. Even though people may be chatting and checking out other people's gifts today, tomorrow will be back to normal. Let them enjoy a little less productivity for one day. Besides, you're on Yahoo answers while at work (just like me), and that's not very productive.





I hope you didn't send that memo.
Reply:Well if you aren't the owner start filling out your resume. If you ar get ready to close your doors .
Reply:You cant punish your employees because someone else loves them and wants to express it. You dont want to be the boss thats an *** and everyone hates. It's only for 2 days out of the year and dont be such a grouch about it.


If it really is a big problem, then maybe try to come up with a plan that isnt so harsh, but include your employees in the policy making that way you dont look like an ***!
Reply:Well, it's kind of hard when you may have no control over who sends you something. Sounds like a lost cause to me. Your memo's going to be trampled on.
Reply:You will get just what you're asking for if you do that. You may be the boss, but you are clearly not a leader. Squash their spirit of good will today and they will sabatoge you in ways you never dreamed of. So what if one day is low, make it up and suck it up or you will be the sorry one. Honestly, what's the big deal from one who was a boss.
Reply:Do you think productivity will get any better by being such a dictator? You must be a very miserable person. Let people enjoy themselves, it's just one day.
Reply:That's horrible! The employee is not soliciting the delivery, it is something special done FOR them by someone else. If your significant other wants to surprise you by sending you a cookie bouquet or something, why should you be punished for that.





It seems a little like sour grapes to me. Don't penalize others for your lonliness. This is a day that comes once a year, and makes people feel loved and special, don't take that away from others. You have 364 other days to make them miserable.
Reply:You know what, our lives are so busy with work, running here and there etc. that I think it's good for a persons morale. You should notice a change in attitudes for the better. How dare you try to ban something this special to a person. Ya know most people don't have a lot to look forward to. It's work, go home work some more, go to bed, get up go to work, Come on think about it.
Reply:seriously ur pathetic! just because u dont have a gf or anyone to send u something at the moment... u dont have to be so harsh.... im mean its just one day for god sake...





if it annoys u so much.. i suggest take the day off work ;)





p.s probably ur productivity has sucked too.. if u have time to waste on yahoo answers, writing the memo, emailing it, complain and being all lousy.people with lousy moods work bad :D
Reply:you must be very unhappy and jealous because no one loves you.
Reply:So, how's your productivity on Christmas day? How about on July 4th? There are only a few holidays during the year that interfere with working. My suggestion is you tear up your memo, and let your employees enjoy feeling a little bit special on Valentine's day. Happy employees are more productive. If you run the place like a Victorian-era sweatshop, I can assure you that productivity will suffer.
Reply:if u were my boss and you give me a warning over something out of our control i would tell ya to put your job where the sun dont shine !!!!!!!!!!
Reply:you are just joking...





If you are not, you are just a little, miserable, insignificant human being.


Don't waste any more time here and use it on trying to become a happier person. I don't think you are contributing to productivity writing on yahoo answers, are you?





Is that even legal???





I still think you are joking...

Why do people continue to get me flowers for my birthday when I keep telling them I hate getting flowers?

WHY DO PEOPLE GIVE FLOWERS WHEN THEY REPRESENT NOTHING BUT DECAY?





Flowers are a nice gesture but flowers are VERY EXPENSIVE when ordered from a florist %26amp; delivered… They don’t last long… I have more vases then I know what to do with%26amp; end up giving them to GoodWill to join their collection of cheap “free” vases that come with flowers…





I find it depressing how the flowers are meant as a good thing but then they, like everything else, begins to decay, %26amp; end up rotten %26amp; in the trash… Last year on my b-day I got THREE DELIVERIES OF FLOWERS! I had no where to put them all %26amp; had to give them away to neighbors!





This year I only got 1 (thank god) but it doesn’t even have anything I can dry to use in an arrangement. They are all just ‘throw-out’ flowers. VERY EXPENSIVE ‘throw-out’ flowers





I would MUCH rather have some kind of plant that I can care for %26amp; keep for more then a week!

Why do people continue to get me flowers for my birthday when I keep telling them I hate getting flowers?
I am definitely laughing right now! Not at you, but with you. Every year I get clothes from people, and every year nothing fits. I tell them please don't buy me clothes, nothing EVER fits. But what do you think happens-you got it-CLOTHES! The only difference between me and you is my cat doesn't eat my clothes.
Reply:People do that too me too...I hate it. What the hell can I do with flowers. How about a grocery certificate so I can gorge my depressing self in ice cream. People are just too lazy to be personal anymore.
Reply:You've gone really into this %26amp; perhaps they can't be bothered to be so deep!
Reply:I feel the same way. Flowers are expensive and they die quickly. I feel they're a waste of money. I'd rather have a plant or a gift certificate.
Reply:Are you telling them collectively, as a group, or individually? As a group, they may not be listening. Tell each one, and tell them the options. Cash or gift certificates. If they cooperate, send them a thank you note. If they send flowers anyway, give them away, and let them know you did. Tell them you'd rather have NOTHING than flowers, thank you very much.
Reply:Why? Because they want someone to send THEM flowers! They don't listen to you either. Make a "wish list/gift list" and email to everyone. Have things on it that are in many different price ranges. Tell everyone that you just found out your are allergic to flowers and can't have any in your house so you wanted to help everyone with gift ideas! Okay, I know that is a big fib, but you need to take drastic steps! Make sure you have lots of ideas on the list and put in there that, when in doubt, you LOVE gift cards to your fav stores. Hopefully, you will get some different gifts next year!
Reply:no theyre not listening, but you cant tell people what to give you unless they ASK, try to enjoy the flowers.
Reply:to bug you . just start saying you hate getting $$$ and there ya go your bank account will starrt to grow as your gifts get smaller

Anyone Use ProFlowers?

I did and it was a joke! Flowers were supposed to be delivered on Thursday and didn't arrive till Monday. To top it off, they were completely dead. I called on Friday and got my money back. They tried to tell me I could only have a partial credit. I told them that the flowers would be 100% dead when they would arrive, if they ever would arrive. So they gave me all my money back.


They shipped using FedEx and were scheduled for Thursday. When they didn't arrive, I called on Friday morning. I was told that the truck had too many deliveries and they couldn't get to mine, but since they were left over from the previous day they would be the first to be delivered. Wrong! they didn't come till Monday and of course they were completely dead.


I'll never use ProFlowers again. I'll call a local florist or 1800flowers.com





Yahoo; Are you going to delete this post too?

Anyone Use ProFlowers?
I did and I never will again. Mine were frozen and went bad.
Reply:sorry nto sure
Reply:I dont think it was pro flowers fault though- I have had delays with fedex. They should not accept shipment if they cannot deliver as promised. I have had good flowers delivered with pro flowers although the person who orders always does it early so there is no rush-so I guess that is the secret?
Reply:I've never used them, but definitely won't now!! I'm sorry that you had such a terrible experience, but you're lucky they gave you your money back. I hope it didn't ruin your day!!
Reply:I bought from them for Mother's Day and got 2 dozen roses for my mom. She got them on Friday (I had chosen them to be delivered either Thursday or Friday) and they arrived beautifully. My mom said they died by Sunday or Monday. She called ProFlowers and they said that they would replace them and they did - with flowers that actually lived.





Part of the problem for you was FedEx. They are absolutely horrible becuse we've used them for mailing stuff and they always are delayed - claiming it is out of their control. One time made sense - it was when that tropical storm was in Florida, but this most recent time makes no sense. FedEx is who you should be more upset with.
Reply:We had a awkward experience but I think it had more to do with the delivery guy. It was for Mother's Day and he left them at the wrong house and left them on the uncovered porch (of the wrong house) in pouring rain. We called them and they said the flowers had been delivered and wouldn't refund since they had been signed for. A few days later the person returned home from vacation, recognized the name, and brought them to our mom. They were african violets so totally dead. We called them again and they were really good about it and sent her a brand new batch the next day and refunded part of our money.
Reply:I think local flowers are better. I have worked in a nursing home, and some people long distance sent their mother pro flowers, and some called the florists here. The florists here had prettier flowers and arrangements.
Reply:I agree, worst flower company ever. Roses looked horrible upon arrival and they died in two days. I get better flowers for cheaper from the local grocery store!!!


B'day cake and flower delivery in Rome? 30 gift ideas for husband's 30th b'day pls.?

My husband and I are going to be in Rome for his 30th b'day. We stay in London and I want to get flowers and cake delivered to the hotel. I can't find anything on the net. Can you help me in finding a website or give a good bakery's name and suggest a florist for flowerdelivery. Thanks!

B'day cake and flower delivery in Rome? 30 gift ideas for husband's 30th b'day pls.?
phone the hotel you are stayin in and have them arrange the flowers and cake. cant help you on the 30 gifts as i dont know what your husband is into sorry
Reply:30 gifts could be scary even for someone who cares about his birthday


I think, however, it would be pleasant to receive 29 semi-precious stones, each with a special reason/meaning and one nice big gift..... Report It

Reply:Interflora deliver world wide so you can pre-order the flowers before going to Rome. I am sure if you speak to the Hotel Manager or similar they can certainly arrange for a birthday cake for you either from their own supplier or from a local bakery.





As for other gift ideas then maybe some items from the year of his birth like a football programme, coins, newspaper, special events items/memorabilia. Type his birth year into Ebay and see what comes up. No need to buy from there but it may give you some more ideas.





Hope you both have a wonderful time :-)

The hotel staff can help you get your cake and flowers delivered there; you only need to ask them.
Reply:Hello Niti,





What a lovely idea!





You can make one of the presents a treasure hunt. Hide all the presents with a clue as to where to find the next present! You can prepare this before you go as most hotels now show layouts for the room, so you can plan where to hide stuff and make appropriate clues.





Gift ideas (I've thought of "light" things that will not weigh much in your case)





* Write a small children's book with drawing /paintings /photoes about something that means a lot to both of you.


* Something "intimate" but fun (I'm talking sex toys or clothes!)


* get a photo engraved on a dog tag http://www.photoengraving-f2f.com/


* A voucher that says you will do a chore that he hates for 1 week (eg I promise the bearer that I will do all washing-up for 1 week)


* Tickets to an event he would enjoy


* Massage oil (!!) You can make your own with a few drops of essential oil from any health shop or Boots and italian olive oil - put it all into a nice bottle.


* Men love gadgets! Here are some ideas


http://iwantoneofthose.com/ (I want the bath thing in the "under £15" !)





Romantic restaurants? I don't know where you are staying, but one of these should be close

ANSWER THIS ONE! Would it matter to you if your florist used environmentally friendly vehicles for deliveries?

I am doing this survey for a class for a class so I need to collect as many responses as possible. So....if you are ordering flowers for delivery, would it matter to you whether the florist's vehicles were environmentally friendly (Hybrid) or not? And why?

ANSWER THIS ONE! Would it matter to you if your florist used environmentally friendly vehicles for deliveries?
It really would not bother me but if they did drive a "Friendly" car it would show some respect for what they love and do..
Reply:Yes it mostly matters, but I do not think about that when I am ordering flowers..

I wanna surprise my bf by sendin flowers on his bday at his work place BUT.....?

Da problem is my budget is only below RM 100 wic includes delivery + flowers. Worst case is Im in Shah Alam and he is in Nilai. No florist wanna do it for less than RM 180.Any other possible ways?or at least Florist in Nilai/ Seremban area..I cant find any on the web..Really need sum piece of advice here..

I wanna surprise my bf by sendin flowers on his bday at his work place BUT.....?
As a guy I'd rather not get flowers, especially at work.
Reply:Dont waste your money on flowers and delivery since it is so expensive. Phone him instead and wish him personally over the phone, that should be much better.You can phone on line too its much cheaper, use hotmail, msn phone. Or install Skype.com.
Reply:surprise him with something else that is way much better %26amp; with low budget but very rich emotions, invite him to your house when it's empty, wear a very sexy teddy and polish your toes and wear a sexy highheels, if you can't afford the teddy, wear only the high heels (he will understand :))





Believe me it's not only sexy but very much romantic %26amp; you will never forget this moment ever
Reply:call FTD.
Reply:tht's a gud idea.





i have no clue weather shah alam and nilai is. the best thing you could do is.... ask him to come online, and start ur webcam, and give him the surprise.





it sounds nerdy but surprise could b anything.... nt necessarily flowers... it could b like sply prepared dance sequence... tht you do for him while showin him the flowers u bought for him.
Reply:dont send a bloke flowers for a start it looks gay and would possibly embaress him but maybe he is in contact with his feminine side and would like that but most men i know would be embaressed
Reply:Asking Florist in Shah Alam to send all the way to Nilai is bit too far. That's why the florist charge you a hefty sum.





Have you tried calling the florist in Nilai instead? In that way you could also work out your payment arrangement with them. The yellow pages or the phone book should be a good source for you to find out the phone number of florist in Nilai.





I was orginally going to recommend some web sites to you. But most website charge a hefty delivery charges (Rm45++).





If I'm your bf, I'd be more pleasantly surprised if you'd shown up un-announce in a sexy outfit than a bouquet of flower.
Reply:Sorry, your idea sounds absolutely lovely, but you are better of sending a letter with a money note in it.

Delivery Problems





A new business was opening and one of the owners friends sent flowers for the occasion. but when the owner read the card with the flowers, it said, "Rest In Peace". The owner was a little peeved,and he called the florist to complain.





After he told the florist about the obvious mistake, the florist said, "Sir I`m really sorry for the mistake,but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this: somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, "Congratulations On Your New Location".

If no one saw the flowers did they exist?

I spent $170 on a floral spray for a loved relative who's funeral I could not attend. I placed the order with the florist recommended by the funeral home and they seemed very accommodating.





After speaking with most of the relatives who did attend the funeral, nobody recalls seeing these flowers or my card. I called the florist and they later told me they had the receipt and the delivery driver specifically remembers delivering them.





I'm not a wealthy woman and the flowers being there meant a lot to me. I don't want to hurt the florist financially if they did what I paid them to do, but don't I deserve some sort of refund if they didn't?





This is all the information I have, so I have to make a decision based on what I've written. I'm considering filing an investigation request with my credit card company to have the charges reversed.

If no one saw the flowers did they exist?
Those things sometimes get mishandled at the funeral home. You could dispute the charge, but they will offer a signed receipt. The burden of proof is on you, and you have no proof.


Tipping wedding vendors...?

We're getting married in 2 weeks and trying to iron out tipping issues. Any advice on how much to tip (if at all) each vendor/contract would be much appreciated:





Photographer


Wedding cake (for delivery - we do pay a delivery fee)


DJ


String quartet


Pastor


Bartenders (we pay per person per hour + 18% gratuity - tip above and beyond?)


Caterer (we pay 18% gratuity - tip above and beyond?)


Florist





We are also going to provide dinner for the photographer and DJ. Is this usually what is done? Thanks in advance!

Tipping wedding vendors...?
Since some of the gratuities are already stated in your contract I would not tip above and beyond unless the service calls for it.





For the wedding cake delivery I wouldn't worry about it because you will not even be there to greet the delivery person.





For all the others the tip should really depend on the service. If the service/performance was really amazing then go ahead and tip. If not their normal fee should be fine.





You do want to make sure you tip your limo driver though especially if they do a good job. 18% seems like a good number to go by.





It is up to you on whether you want to provide any of the vendors with a meal, but it is not unusual to do so.
Reply:You're covered. But you will most likely pay a delivery and set up fee for your cake. We also provided dinner for any vendor that was there. Be sure to pay the pastor but you don't need to tip him.
Reply:tipping???


they are charging enough


Pastor, if he is charging a fee


then just give that amount


if no fee then be generous


to him.
Reply:umm dang i want to come to your wedding you seem like a very giving person...lol..just kidding with ya...you dont need to tip any of those vendors..you are already paying for their services...why would you tip them? ur caterer isnt Pizza Hut right? lol...sorry just kidding again......anywho you dont have to tip any of those vendors...good luck...remember to have fun..and CONGRATS!
Reply:I was recently married %26amp; for tips we:


Photogapher - tbd


Cake Delivery - 0 (included in delivery fee)


DJ - $100


Pastor - $100


Bartender - $50 (he made alot in other tips)


Caterer - included gratuity is enough





We did provide dinner for the photographer %26amp; the DJ too.





Hope this helps you a little
Reply:I am not American so I never understood about your tipping but can I just say why do you have to give extra money when you are already paying for their service? It's not like they aren't getting money from you already?! If what you are paying is in your contract, leave it at that, Any more is excessive and way unnecessary. They just want to get even more money from you and it's greedy. If they do a good job, just say a hear-felt 'thank you' which is much more meaningful than money.
Reply:I agree with the previous post, I think your getting ahead of yourself. I didn't tip any of my vendors because I payed more than enough to keep these vendors in business. Also, wait and see what happens. Especially the photographers, how will the proofs come out, along with albums.


The floral arrangement I paid to be delivered to my mom, 2000 miles from me, were not sent, what to do????

I went to a local florist in a small town in California to send a mothers day floral arrangement to my mom, who lives in a small town in Ohio. Even though I ordered and paid in cash on Monday they scheduled delivery for the following Saturday, after promising delivery between 8 a.m. and noon at noon they informed me that it might take till six since its a holiday delivery. At around 4 they advised me they would be delivering until 8 pm. My mom is in her 70's and perfers being asleep by 7. I'm so frustrated at this pont my mom has no flowers and the shop in Ohio does not deliver on Motheres Day. Any suggestions??? Oh, by the way this cost about sevanty dollars to expirence. Ideas?????

The floral arrangement I paid to be delivered to my mom, 2000 miles from me, were not sent, what to do????
If they guaranteed delivery, you may have some recourse for a refund...however...in the future , you may find it more benficial , not be mention cheaper to call a florist in Ohio yourself. Do a little research on the web and find one near mom and call them direct, most florists have toll free numbers, then you can find out what they have in stock and if and when they can deliver it:)
Reply:i would sue .. or ask for money back .. BE FORCEFUL!!
Reply:GET A REFUND FROM TH EFLORAL WHERE YOU HAD THE FLOWERS SENT IS THE BEST IDEA I HAVE,SORRY I AM OF NO BETTER HELP
Reply:call them back on Tuesday get your money back and make them send her 2 sets for free . just for the mess they maid. they will do it. ( maybe you should throw in a cry here and there) it might work.

I want to send flowers to a girl?

I'm planning to send flowers to this great girl who went to prom with me last year, but this is my first time sending flowers a girl. So I need some help. Here is the list of questions.





1) Should I use a florist company on the internet, such as FTD.com, or local flower delivery shops? I live far away from her now, and I don't know the details about local florists near her house. Can I trust FTD.com?





2) Should I send a bouquet without a vase or with a vase? You only send flowers in a vase to people who are sick, am I correct? Which form do you expect flowers to come in when your partner send you flowers?





3) I want to give her a card with personalized message with the flowers. Can I do that?








If you have any experience of sending flowers or receiving flowers, please post me some answers. They will be greatly appreciated. I always give 5 stars to best answer and I will give two thumbs up after choosing it! Thank you!

I want to send flowers to a girl?
FTD is a respectable company and they have lovely arrangements you can choose from on their website. That said, I prefer to use local florists because they are very helpful. When I sent my mom flowers on her birthday I was able to have an arrangement that had her favorite flowers and colors in it. As for your other questions send them in a vase, it is always much nicer to be able to view the flowers then to have to cut the stems and arrange them yourself. And either way you send them you can add a personalized message. Good luck.
Reply:Oops. My other account has not reached level 2 to give a thumb up. sorry about that. Report It

Reply:If you haven't ordered from Martha Stewart Flowers then you should. They have a vast variety and arrangements starting at $29.99. Unlike most floral websites, Martha Stewart Flowers provides beautiful fresh-cut flowers. Report It

Reply:Why are you sending girls flowers? When you went to the prom with this girl, you probably ended up paying for all kinds of things, so you owe her nothing. What is it that you hope to accomplish by sending her flowers?
Reply:I used 1-800-flowers.com. They do a really great job with flowers and other things as well, like teddy bears, etc. And you get to put your own personal greeting. I would think flowers with a vase would be best, they always pick out a great one to match the flowers. Good luck hun!
Reply:Obviously you really like this girl a lot. It's so cute that you want to send her flowers. I know that girls love flowers from my own experience. I am a girl!! Well if it were me you were sending the flowers to, I would just buy some. I'm not a particular girl, %26amp; i would love to have a guy send me flowers. I'm sure she'll be happy with whatever you choose to do.


Good luck


Calling all Brides!-Would you buy your fresh wedding bouquets from the Internet?

If there was a website that shipped nationally, gave a garuntee for fresh delivery,and gave you a wide selection of pre-constructed wedding bouquest for a low cost...would you consider buying your bridal party bouquets through that web site instead of using a local florist?

Calling all Brides!-Would you buy your fresh wedding bouquets from the Internet?
Nope. A brides flowers are an important part of her day, even if your guarantee it, there is no way to really 100% ensure they will be beautiful when she walks down the aisle. (a guarntee just means she would get her money back) Her day would be ruined, what would she be expected to do if your company was in CA and she was in Ohio? She couldnt call and get a replacement bouquet brought over. Also, how can you ensure the arrival of the bouquets on time? If she is getting married at 8 am she would need them to get there by 7 am, fed ex isnt going to deliver that early #1 and I wouldnt trust a shipping company to give any window other than "before 10 am" things are delivered in order they are loaded on the truck, if you live far from the distribution site you have a good chane of being first, but the closer you live the further back on the truck you are.


Not such a great idea.
Reply:No. WIth a floirst you have more options, they will work within your price range as well. Plus, if you get it from the florist that day %26amp; have a problem with it, they will correct it. When my florist delivers all of my flowers, she doesn't leave until she gets the OK from me that they are what I wanted. Don't get that from the internet.
Reply:Nope, not a chance. Even overnight shipping could damage the flowers, and they'd start to wilt. Also, things to wrong with shipping all the time.
Reply:no, i wouldn't the quality is just not gonna be there, you can't really see their work, and flowers just don't need to be out of water that long with our adaquit preparation to the stems which you can't do once they are in bouquets...I worked at a florist for 2 years and i just wouldn't be happy im sure
Reply:NEVER! Remember you'll have to pay transport too. What if they get your bouquet wrong? Then what?
Reply:I would prefer to have a store location, where I could inspect the regular quality of their merchandise, and how flowers are handled and delivered.





Flowers shipped at this time of year may run into delays with winter weather. They may be exposed to cold winter air and wither. They may arrive on time, but be completely not what you expect. And if you order on the Internet, it's not like you can send a representative over to their store to demand replacements in the hour before the wedding!





Yes, it might be lower cost, but it's much higher risk, with fewer options to fall back on if something goes amiss.
Reply:I think I would at least consider doing this. I have ordered flowers online before and they have arrived in perfect condition. What website is this so I can take a look at these bouquets?
Reply:no


everyone knows the plant will go bad from sitting in the box for a week or so


my mom bouhgt a plant and it came to us as dried out
Reply:Nope. Never buy what you can't see. ESPECIALLY for a wedding!
Reply:I wouldnt because they could be dead by the time they get to your house. And they might not look like they show.
Reply:no I would not because it will not look right when it gets to your house.

Do you Love Flowers? Especially Roses? You'll enjoy this!?

This woman and her husband have this really bad fight. He goes off to work the next day without talking to her, but she doesn't care.





She's busy doing her thing around the house. All of the sudden, around 1:00 in the afternoon, the doorbell rings. She goes to the door and opens it and there is a young delivery guy from the local florist shop with an enormous, beautiful bouquet of long-stemmed red roses...the expensive ones...from her husband.





She says to the delivery guy with disgust, "Oh CRAP!"





The delivery guy says, "What's a matter lady? You don't like roses?"





She replies, "Yeah, I like roses, but do you know what this means?"





He says, "No, Lady, what does this mean?"





She answers, "It means for the next two weeks I'll be laying on my back with my legs in the air."





He replies, "Geez, Lady, don't you have a vase?"
