Save time and energy by ordering your flowers online. Connecting purchaser with online vendors is one of the strengths of online purchasing. Out of the comfort of your own home you can see the arrangements and price points that flower shops have to offer. Most shops offer online purchases and sending flowers to loved ones in other parts of the country could not be easier with an online shop.
Where to find online shops
The simplest way to get online flowers is to type into your favorite search engine “buy online flowers”. This will net you 38 million results for possibilities. Typing in “buy online flowers in Ottawa” narrows down the search to 202 thousand results for flower shops in Ottawa, Ill and in Ottawa, On, Canada.
Browse the sites you have found. If you want to be more specific you can narrow down your search to a more precise area or the exact type of arrangement or flower type. Enter roses or wedding bouquet for example.
Some sites may have special features or seasonal promotions so review a few sites. Often shops have available ready made arrangements to survey so you can see what you are ordering. You can quickly choose based on price point and type of arrangement
There is often a browse by ‘category’ button. Mother’s day, baby, or wedding flowers can be viewed. Don’t get too caught up in the category. If you like a ‘baby’ arrangement, even if you are sending it to a wedding party, it’s okay.
Ensure that you carefully read any and all guarantees and delivery/refund information and how they send their flowers. Some sites send flowers directly from the grower to the recipient. Others send orders through the local florist.
After you have chosen the flowers most stores offer options. Size, color, add ons such as stuffed animals and gift cards for example. Be clear on what is included and what is extra. You can save money by saying “no” to any extras.
Are Online flowers Less Expensive?
Because online flowers have a wider market they are often more competitive on price. With connections to fast delivery services your order will be received and sent out quickly for delivery.
Holidays such as Mothers day and Valentines day are busy periods. To ensure that your order is met order in plenty of time. Making allowances for busy periods may mean ordering a few days in advance but means that you will get the flowers and order that you want.
Substitutions
Often online shops deal with local flower shops to hasten delivery so when ordering have a back up design or flower that you wish to send. Local florists may have the arrangements but may differ slightly than exactly shown in the brochure.
Flowers are a tried and true acceptable gift. They are perfect for any person or any occasion. Online flower shops have made direct bouquet delivery even easier for everyone.
If companies do not give you their address, or decline to provide it, consider going somewhere else. If they answer without identifying themselves as the local shop you want, they may be a broker.
With all the hype of online fraud even in the flower industry consider visiting floristdetective.com where they supply a list of ‘real florist’.
