When you want to send flowers it’s a special occasion – Mother’s Day, Valentines, Easter, Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries etc – so you want to get the best possible value for money, the freshest flowers and the best design.
Most of us turn to the internet for our shopping needs and for our research these days, and sending flowers is no different.
There has been a rapid growth in online flower delivery services – Interflora, FlowersDirect, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Next, Serenata to name just a few.
With most UK flower delivery services, supermarkets and retail brands manufacturing some or all of their flower bouquets in a warehouse before putting them into boxes and posting or delivering them, you do not really know HOW your floral gift is produced or sent. In fact, many recipients will actually receive a very different service from the one they thought you were paying for.
In order to ensure that you are sending your order direct to a real local florist, and getting full flower value you need to search for the florist closest to the delivery address.
This is fine in principle, but sometimes you don’t have enough time, and also some of these flower delivery services can make themselves look like real local flower shops.
