FTD,1-800 Flowers, Proflowers,etc
All Contract with local florists so that you can get your flowers fresh.
They dont just simply do this.

there were orderd off a web site how would you like them to come? there on a two trucks problem a train or a plane they have to secure them
Yes. Plus the …
Yes. Plus the flowers will need to be assembled.
If I send flowers …
If I send flowers to someone using FTDCOM will my information show up on the package?
THis is so true. …
THis is so true. Order from a professional, they can give you something beuatiful and you won’t spend any more money after you pay for the vase, shipping, and the 13.99 handling fee. PLUS it will look good, unlike most peoples do it yourself flower arranging. PLUS – BIG PLUS you are supporting your local economy by calling a local florist and not some Huge Wallstreet owned company that won’t give you the personal attention that YOU deserve! Use your local florist!
A few things to …
A few things to dispel. Just because you order from FTD or Telaflora doesn’t mean you will get flowers in a box. Most flower companies offer wire service where you can purchase the flowers online or in your city and have a local florist where the flowers are being delivered to deliver them, as opposed to DHL, UPS, etc. Also, flowers delivered by a florist invariably will look much better assuming you are using a good florist. As in any industry, there is good and bad plenty to go around.
ive always been …
ive always been happy with 1800flowers too
well for those of …
well for those of you who are high maintenance and have money to burn, buy them from a local florist. I have always had good luck with pro flowers and the reason I send THEM to my mother instead of a florist is because in her location there is no local florist that delivers. Furthermore I have bought from a florist for loved ones,had delivery and been extremely disappointed. You can have bad luck with any company at any time-just remember that.
Are you guys wimps? …
Are you guys wimps? You’re obviously not very good at “selling” your competitive product when everyone with half a brain knows it’s not that hard to use scissors. I’ve always been happy with 1-800 Flowers purchases.
If customers would …
If customers would pay attention the world would be a better place.
When you order flowers, it says clearly how they will be delivered. If it says DHL/ UPS/ or FedEx, what are you expecting? Have you ever seen a UPS/DHL/FedEx guy deliver ANYTHING that wasn’t in a box?
As for the tie, the woman trying to cut is an imbecile. If at her age she can’t use scissors, she has two options. Kindergarden or retirement. I suggest retirement.
my ol lady would …
my ol lady would like this, she was a flowerist at the wallmart and she knows fresh flowers shud look fresh and classey like the ones in the video with the ftd box.
I would just want …
I would just want to DIE of embarrassment if I ever received flowers–in front of my office co-workers no less!–that looked as badly as that. I would find it very hard to feel “special” with flowers like that sitting on my desk. More to the point, my husband would not want me to feel the way those limp, unattractive, bare-bones flowers would make me feel. I will always use local florists from now on–and will make sure everyone I know watches this video. Thank you for posting it.
I received flowers …
I received flowers from Pro Flowers and it was every bit as hard as that looks.
No one ever said …
No one ever said they were Pro Flowers. It is just what it looks like when people get flowers in a box.
that would be a …
that would be a valid arument if this woman were 80. which she clearly isnt.
It seems they can …
It seems they can send anytihng through the mail lately, but I don’t think my Mom would appreciate flowers looking like this.
I don’t believe the …
I don’t believe the poster made any references to this being pro flowers. However if you had paid attention to the video or the previous posts, it is clear that these were from FTD. I also like how you assume the woman is capable of cutting whether she is or not, I believe you should consider that many older women receive flowers and not every 80+ year old can cut those infernal plastic tags.
Maybe it’s the FTD …
Maybe it’s the FTD logo on the box seen about 4 seconds into the video.
The bouquet in the box bears very little resemblance to what was shown on FTD’s website. I feel sorry for anyone that purchased that as a gift, too.
Where does this …
Where does this even say its form FTD? I believe one of the comments said that but I’ve gotten flowers form Pro Flowers that looked like this.
As for one upping a competitor, the point of this post is to show that flowers look better and come in a nicer package when delivered locally. I don’t think any specific company is targeted.
You sound like a representative of FTD bashing the company and ignoring the statement being made.
I feel sorry for …
I feel sorry for anyone who gets stiffed like in this staged dramatic representation. Paying for one ting and getting another is wrong in my book.
However, the poster is in the floral industry. Like it or not, there is a bias against the competition. No one should look at this looking for objectivity.
We really don’t know if those flowers even came from FTD. For all we know the poster could be no better than a mud-slinging politician looking to “one-up” a competitor.
I love it!
I love it!
So sad consumers …
So sad consumers get duped by the prices of the direct ship floral products. If they only knew the recipient winds up with a DOO-IT-ALL-YOURSELF-KIT rather than what the IMAGE they clicked on depicted, they would understand, just why they depend upon a professional REAL FLORIST to knock the recipient’s socks off.
Besides, I just hate it when BATTERIES ARE NOT INCLUDED, don’t you?
Wow…what a lot of …
Wow…what a lot of money for what looks like a grocery store bouquet with a vase too short for the stems. I bet the sender would fall over seeing how close it matches to the picture he picked out..NOT! I would think twice before sending a floral memory like this again…more like a floral nightmare. Hope they use their Real Local Florist next time and have it designed and delivered by a Professional.Once again, one of the big 800′s take advantage of the consumer. What a pity.
