The Downside of Online Flower Delivery: Why Local is Best
We are a local florist. We have operated as a Franchisee, but recently changed our name as FlowersAllentx.com. Our old name 1800FlowersAllen.com would confuse people thinking we were the online order gatherers that charge high fees, have no personal service and do not control flower quality.
We receive countless calls about people looking last minute to replace bad flowers shipped in a box. We even get tagged in bad reviews for flowers we never saw.
WE ARE DIFFERENT! WE ARE A LOCAL FLORIST.
The Downside of Ordering Flowers to be shipped in a box instead of hand delivered from a local florist
Ordering flowers online to be shipped and received in a box can take away the special nature of the gift. Here are a few reasons why:
- It's not as personal. When you order flowers that are shipped in a box, a florist does not prepare the arrangement for you. This can make the gift feel less personal.
- The flowers often show up dead. Flowers that are shipped in a box can be damaged during transport. This can make them look wilted and lifeless when they arrive. Texas is HOT and flowers should not be sent in a hot delivery van with no water. Our drivers deliver the flowers quickly and in the right environment.
- You have to arrange the flowers yourself. When you order flowers online, they're often sent in a box without any arrangement. This means that the recipient will have to arrange the flowers themselves, which can be a hassle.
Here are some additional tips for ordering flowers online:
- Choose a reputable online florist. Not all online florists are created equal. Do your research to find a reputable florist that has a good track record. Or come visit us in person. We are at 710 E Main Street in Allen Texas, 75002.
- Order your flowers early. This will give the florist plenty of time to source the freshest flowers.
- Choose a delivery date that is convenient for the recipient. This will help to ensure that the flowers arrive when the recipient is home to receive them.
- Include a personalized note with your flowers. This will add a personal touch to your gift.
- Save money by cutting out the online fees The local florist is able to make a much nicer arrangement when the do not have to pay expensive commissions. They also never see any of the convenience fees, and are often not told what you were promised online.
By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your online flower order arrives safely and looking its best.
In conclusion, ordering flowers online can be a convenient way to send flowers to someone, but it's important to be aware of who will prepare the flowers. If you want to send someone a truly special gift of flowers, it's best to order them from a local florist.
