Has anyone ordered flowers from 1-800-FLOWERS.com before??

I've never used them before and I REALLY WANT good flowers sent to someone special and will appreciate any comments if you've used them before.

Has anyone ordered flowers from 1-800-FLOWERS.com before??
I have recieved many bouquets from 1-800-Flowers.com. I feel that first and foremost, they are incredibly over priced. Second, they aren't always the best quality, when I had them show up at my house, it wasn't a 1-800-Flowers truck, it was just some local flower shop. You would be much better off giving the flowers to the person yourself, if that's not a possibility because you can't get to the area, etc. I suggest you see what other flower shops in the person's area can offer.

Hi, I know what you mean, we all want the best we can get! Well, Jimmy, not to worry, let me tell how these guys work. They just have a catchy number is all! And some pretty pictures! You call them, same as I did, or do, and they call where ever it is you need the flowers sent! They take a cut of the cost and everyone is happy! Thats IT. They just call the local florist in whatever town or city that the flowers are needed. Because they are who they are, they have "connections" and get special rates. It is cheaper than picking up the phone and calling the local florist because it's a 1-800 number.


Hope this helps. Don't worry, your special sweetie will get exactly what you tell them to give her/him. Just don't bother with the tip, the florist won't get it.. Well, that is unless you speciffically tell them to tip the florist of course.
Reply:I haven't ordered from 1-800-flowers because they are overpriced, but I have received roses sent through them. The roses were beautiful and they did last a long time. They were very well packaged, so much so that it was a bit of a pain to unpack them.





When I was looking for wedding flowers I checked out their website because my mom could get a discount. Even with the discount the flowers were terribly expensive, and the choices were very limited.
Reply:I have received flowers from them and they're OK but I really have been happy with the flowers that I've received from hallmark.com
