What to look for when buying flowers online.

Many people have never tried ordering flowers online and getting them delivered to a loved one or may have ordered from an order gatherer and been deeply disappointed. If this is you, then try these tips for a successful and secure purchase. Your flowers will arrive on time for occasions such as Mother’s Day, birthdays, or funerals without a hassle.
Delivery Policies
It’s always good to read the policies on delivery. Some buyers are not aware that flowers that are ordered and delivered online are time sensitive. Once the orders are processed, they cannot be changed because they commit to shipping it on the same day, as advertised. So don’t expect to get a refund when you change your mind. In other words, stick to daisies when you wanted daisies.(this only happens when ordering from online order gatherers). Always make sure your dealing with a local Florist because you can change your mind on delivery date or flower selection if you call them before the order has been processed. Also when you’re on the site make sure there is a local address and phone number so that you are assured you’re dealing with a Local Florist,(another way is to pick up the phone and call them just for confirmation).

Substitutions
Due to various seasonal and regional conditions, specific flower varieties or colors may not be available for delivery on a specified day. In this event, the local florist will deliver a second choice of similar flowers and container of equal value and beauty. Every effort will be made to maintain size, shape, and overall color schemes of an arrangement. If you wish to know for certain, you can always call the florist and inquire if they have those specific flowers.

Selection and Price Flexibility
Bouquet prices and selections are very flexible. They go anywhere from $45 to over $100. Here at Blossom Flower Shops, we offer hand designed arrangements in a large variety of selections and prices so you are sure to find something to fit your needs. Some flower shops are proud to offer organically grown flowers so they put a little bit extra on the price tag. But if you believe in their cause, this shouldn’t be an issue for you. As always, make sure your using a Local Brick and Mortar Florist who will stand by their quality and design.
