Answer

Going directly to a local florist has advantages and disadvantages. You may get more personalized service from a local florist, and, in some cases, you may pay a few dollars less for a comparable flower arrangement. On the other hand, using an internet florist with a national or international network gives you more reliable customer service and it is often easier and faster to place an order.

Answer

As a former florist myself, I can tell you that you will ALWAYS get better service and a better value dealing directly with a REAL florist. "National Flower Marketers" charge you a fee to process each order. Most Internet companies pass your order to a florist to fill it. You may not even realize it, but the actual florist filling your order only gets a percentage of what you paid for the flowers, decreasing the value of your order! Therefore, you may pay $60 for your flowers, but the flowers delivered will only be worth $45.00. By the way, these "National Floral Marketers" work in a call center. They do not have floral knowledge other than the pictures of the "cookie cutter" arrangements that they sell. In addition, mistakes are frequent when depending on a middleman to relay the details of your order. By calling a florist directly, your order is placed right at the source. You can discuss every detail to your satisfaction. Many florists have toll free numbers. We actually started a website to educate consumers about the best way to buy flowers.

Answer

The local florist will show items they have in inventory at their local prices.

The Internet sites can only guess what local florists actually have in inventory (as well as the real costs of those items) since each florist is independently owned and operated. Read the disclaimers about substitutions on the 'Internet' sites to get a real picture of how (un) likely you are to get the item you select. Some of the Internet sites are also located in non-North American countries where US consumer and privacy protection laws do not apply. Do you really want to give these folks your credit card number?
